Waterslide Laser decals?

I tried Papilio <sp?> and the laser decal paper from eBay.  Both provided mixed results on my HP color laser printer.  In most instances, the rollers on my printer were too hot and melted the decal as it ran through.  This happened no matter what setting I used.  It didn't damage my printer, but the decals were ruined each time.

In all honesty, after doing some research on printers, if you want a better image an inkjet is the way to go.  Laser printers have the advantage of using toner, not ink, so a clear coat spray paint isn't required.  But if you're going to clear coat your decals anyway, you might as well get a better print with a good inkjet photo printer.
