You can also put a piece of clear monokote/ultracoat over it and that will seal it up.

The MM paper has worked fine for me. Don't forget though, to seal the decal with the Krylon spray before you get it wet. (MM sells a starter set with the Krylon that isn't too wildy expensive.) Ink jet ink is water soluble. Then you can overspray with clear. Start with light mist coats-too heavy a first coat can dissolve the entire mess.

Micro mark sells a INKJET DECAL FIXATIVE A clear sealing spray that keeps inkjet images from smearing or washing off
