Hehehe the joys or pitfalls of hectographic paper.....you can get
this stuff from all tattoo suppliers....look em up. You need a
machine to produce em in or you can do it yourself which involves
doing a reverse picture first and then retracing this onto the hecto
sheet.

Halawa used to supply these in their kits.....messy lil
buggers!...the purple dye rubs off and onto the rest of the sheet if
they are handled for too long. Also difficult to apply at first - you
need the correct amount of liquid on the skin for it to work...too
much and you have loverly purple streaks running down your arm - how
attractive is that!

An alternative would be to make your own stencils. You can purchase
the plastic sticky stuff that they use to make stencils in a4 sheets
and also a stencil burner to produce the stencils....these would
infinetly last longer!......i have one but have not yet used it
