I have in the past made decals using what was regarded as an old method back in the 70s - painting in enamel on brown paper, finish with 6-8 coats of varnish, soak the paper off in water (may take a day or two!) and attach using more varnish as size. Invariably these broke up at some stage while being handled. I suspect there is now a computer / printer based method that works every time...

Never heard of that (probably for a reason(!))

The closest I can find is:

Remember this was pre-internet and information was often read (or mis-read) from a book: transfer paper probably works as though it was designed for the job, unlike brown paper...
