WHAT IS A WATER SLIDE DECAL SUBSTRATES FOR APPLICATION WHEN USING A WATER SLIDE DECAL WHY USING WATER SLIDE DECALS THE PRINTING STEPS THE PRINTING PROCESS AND CONDITIONS DECAL APPLICATION

WATER SLIDE DECALS

WATER SLIDE DECALS

It is an indirect printing system, based on the realization and application of a graphic transfer, for the decoration of such substrates, which, due to their dimensions or essential features, make direct printing difficult or impossible.

WHAT IS A WATER SLIDE DECAL

WATER SLIDE DECALS

SUBSTRATES FOR APPLICATION

The essential requirement for this application is the varnishing of the substrate, which may be made of metal, fiberglass or every kind of plastics: polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, PETG, PC, ABS.

WHEN USING WATER SLIDE DECALS

WATER SLIDE DECALS

SPORT EQUIPMENT ITEMS IN GENERAL* HELMETS* BIKE FRAMES

*As an alternative to the in-moulding decoration process

The application fields are many:

*for high quality merchandising with particularly sophisticated graphic works.

WATER SLIDE DECALS

WHY USING WATER SLIDE DECALS

Because it is possible to realize every graphic work. It is ideal for those sectors, which are attentive to communication and are influenced by the designers. Because they have a limited thickness [25-30] micron, if compared with the self-adhesive materials [100] micron, so they are perfectly integrated with the object. Because the mandatory over-varnishing allows to increase the general fastness, and in particular the mechanical resistance.

• on the dimensional stability of the paper [extremely critical factor], compromising the final result.

The choice of the white ink depends on the desired final result and the printing tools

The peelable colldion allows to obtain decals having a lower thickness, which assure a better integration with the substrate to be decorated.

DECAL APPLICATION

The application of the water slide decal is a very delicate operation, requiring an extreme precision.

Cut the decal along the border, before dipping it into water, but leaving a 2-3 mm surplus.

1

Dip the decal into water for 2-3 minutes and then remove it from the substrate paper

Position the decal onto the object to be decorated and lay it uniformely through a soft rubber spatule with rounded edge.

3

If Peelable Collodion was used, lift a corner

removing it.

4

Dry lthe object into a forced ventilation oven at 60°C during about 1 hour.

Final varnishing Use solvent-based or UV varnishes and apply them by sprying.
