Default Printing colorful images for wall decal

Hello,

I need help for creating wall decals. I'm planning to make interior wall decals from photos or colorful images (like the one atatched here) using my canon NX415 inkjet printer. I would like to know if I can print out these images directly onto my vinyl decal paper using my printer and cut it to apply directly to the wall? Do I need any transfer tape for this purpose? Also, what would be the best decal paper to use with inkjet printer for this purpose?
Is it already waterproof or do i need anything else to make it waterproof?
I saw few of them available like avery and papilio. Will these work for me?

Please advise me..thanks...

Thank you.. I checked the phototex and it doesn't say whether it comes in different colors. Does it have glossy finish?

You print the purty colors on it with your printer, just like you said you wanted to do. It's a matte finish.

If you want to move up to larger and larger panels...like the actual size of the walls in a house or business, check out this website for larger width roll printers and also superwide flatbed printers www.fujifilmsericol.com

How large are you making your images? You might want to just get them digitally printed on vinyl that is made specifically for walls.

NP.
I have a Canon ipF8000 44". It is a 12 color pigmented ink printer and makes drop dead gorgeous output. It is also extremely fast. You might want to consider the printers in this line for the type of work your intending to do. They are in the $5000.00 range for 44". I buy my ink from Inkjetcarts and they save me a ton over what the OEM inks cost. Lexjet sells a lot of different print medias also for these printers.
