Waterslide Inkjet paper media clear water decal

To make CLEAR/TRANSPARENT decals:

Detailed Instructions are included with the paper.

Print on the glossy side of the paper. In general selecting the transparency setting in your printer driver gives the best results. Our new Inkjet Aqua Slide decal paper works well with any "dye based ink" Inkjet printer.

Before sliding the decal off the paper using water you must seal the inkjet ink on the special coating by using clear spray or decal fixative.

If you are using Krylon spray then follow the instructions on the spray can.

If you are using the PAPILIO CLEAR Decal fixative. Then pour a small amount over the image (the decal) and let it sit on the decal for about 10 seconds and gently move the puddle around, then wait a few seconds. Without applying  pressure on the decal, use the foam pad (foam pads are included if you order the decal fixative from the manufacturer) to move the excess fluid off and over the edge of the paper onto a piece of cardboard and discard, leaving an even coating on the image. Let dry for a few  hours or overnight. A second coat may not even be needed. Using clear acrylic fixative or oil enamel may also give good results for most applications. For professional waterslide decals we however recommend the decal fixative sold by the manufacturer. It will last longer than acrylic spray and remains clear and flexible. To make permanent production decals you could use an even stronger solution, being the liquid urethane (not to be confused with poly-urethane sold in hardware stores for wood finish).
