Source of water-slide decals (transfers?)

Bevel Heaven and DomiRacer (and seemingly Guzzino) are selling stickers rather than water-slide decals, that is to say a rectangular adhesive Mylar film surrounds the transfer.

Does anyone know of a vendor that still supplies the old water-slide' type of decals for Ducatis? I'm actually looking for decals that are associated with early 750 twins...

I see that one can get decal paper for inkjet printers, but the problem with that is that inkjet printers can't print the color 'white' so that does me no good.

Domiracer sells the cheap stickers like you say, but the stuff bevel heaven sells (and likely guzzino?) is die cut, a completely different animal. No clear rectangle, the letters/graphics are all separate with a backing paper and a top sheet that holds it all in position until you get the sticky side stuck to something. They can be buried under clear or used on the surface. I like them myself, actually prefer them over decals but then I don't do restorations. That said, if I was doing a serious restoration I'd probably want the water slides too.

These are all diecut, under the clear
