I home print decals quite often. I use a HP Inkjet so I have no opinions on a laser printer.
Home print water slides are different than kit decals. Soak times are typically longer
and sliding the decal off the backing isn't as slippery as kit decals.
Black ink is not as opaque and can look dark gray on a white background.
Home print decals are more translucent compared to kit decals.
Black is better on darker colors.
Here's some blog pages that might help:
