is there anyway to print your own decals off of your home computer printer? If so, what kind of paper is needed and where to get it from? I have Canon inkjet printer and also a noncolor laser printer. I would like to be able to print colored decals from my inkjet printer. Has anyone done this before?

I do it all the time. In fact, the headlights and grille on this car were printed out on my printer:
The paper I bought at an Office Depot or something similar. Clear decal paper can be purchased at www.papilio.com.

XXX and Parma both sell blank masks that you can simply put in the computer. Between the two, I would recommend the XXX over the Parma.

Check out the kit at www.decalgear.com.
This is what I use. Comes with the paper, templates, and more. You can import your own logos (I make custom license plates, "driver names" for race cars, and more...
You can find a starter version of it, labeled with the Testors brand at Wal-Mart for around 6 bucks. I bought the mega-pak for all the flames, stripes, and so on.
They are meant for 1:18 or so plastic models, but you can scale them up or down.
