    Generally C-60%, M-40%, Y-40% and K-100% is a good mix. You don't
    want to use the full 400% ink or you'll over-saturate it, giving you
    streaks and bleeding.
    I am currently using Epson EcoTank Color Printer for waterslide decals and completely satisfied with the printing quality. I hope you will find this guide very helpful about the best printer for waterslide decals: https://printerdeets.com/best-printer-

    Do let me know if I can help you in something else.
    Thanks

    This is interesting and a pinball relevant commercial for Epson. I've
    played with waterslides but have not been thrilled with the results on
    my office printers - Canon and Toshiba. I will test my home printer that happens to be an Epson ET-2760...

    Thanks,
