Black specking on clear areas of decal-

Michelle:
You don't say what kind of decals you are using but from the words
'yellow paper' I am guessing that you have some color laser decals
that have a yellow color covercoat as supplied in the Zimmer system.
Sounds like some dirt in the flux they put into the yellow covercoat.
Take it up with the supplier is my advice.
