You can get sticker paper for your printer, and try looking in your phone book for a sign/printer shop, they may be able to print it onto acrylic stickers for you, which are higher quality.

I used a sticker-paper for my 'decal' on my case. just printed the image, cut it out (a lot of work) and then stuck it to my window.
One problem with ordinairy sticker-paper is that it is white. Though you can print any color on it the sides (where you have cut the paper) will remain white. I overcame this problem by using a whiteboard marker and make everything black.

So: Can you use sticker-paper for a decal?
Yes you can, but it's not the best. You probably want to have a real vinyl decal... like daveW just said...
