I'm building a 1:144 scale 757 and designing it to be completely
custom. The livery calls for a custom decal spanning the entire
length of the fuselage. I have created them on my computer and
printed them out on Testors blank decal paper. I split the decal in
two since it wouldn't fit on one sheet. I've had no problem
positioning or manipulating the decal but even if I avoid contacting
the surface of the decal, the ink starts to depart the decal. I have
sprayed the finished sheet with dullcote and clearcote multiple times
and nothing seems to seal the decal's ink. Also I'm using a standard
HP inkjet printer. Anyone have a solution?

Go to your brick-and-mortar and buy some Micro-Scale Decal Film.
CAREFULLY spread this on the printed decal paper and let dry for a few
hours (I let it sit overnight). Repeat. The decal is now ready for
transferring.
Good luck.
