White paper for inkjet printing on water decals (5 sheets 210 x 270mm (A4))
White paper for inkjet printing on water decals (5 sheets 210 x 270mm (A4))
Print your own water decals with this set of 5 sheets of printable paper. Decals apply with water, no solvent required. You can also use a decal softener or decal fixer to enhance and protect the finish on uneven or rough surfaces.
Use a computer to design the decals; since copiers and printers cannot print white, but rely on the paper itself to supply the white component in lettering and artwork. To make a white lettering sticker, you need to start with white film paper.
This paper is suitable for an inkjet printer ! Remove all protectors and print the decals directly onto the glossy side of the paper.
Sheets: 5 pieces in one pack
Size: 210 x 270mm (A4)
Basic Instuctions:
1.- Cut the decal as close as possible to the outer edge of the image. For best results, use a brand new blade in your knife.
2.- Take the decal with tweezers and let it soak in water for about 20 seconds. Warm water can speed up this process.
3.- Use a brush to gently push the decal off the sheet and onto the pattern. That's all friends!
Detailed Instructions:
4.- Before applying the decal to the model, after it has soaked long enough, apply some decal fixative to the surface of the model where you plan to place your decal. Decal fixer protects the paint underneath and smoothes the surface, thus helping to prevent silvering of the decal. Use a brush to gently push the decal off the sheet and onto the pattern. If it is difficult to get the decal in the right spot, adding a little more fixative or water will help the decal float on the surface until it is positioned correctly.
5.- If the surface you want to place the decal on is curved, it may wrinkle. To avoid this, once your decal is in place, apply a decal softener. Allow the softener to react and it will help eliminate wrinkles as it adapts to the curved surface underneath. Repeat this step 2-3 times until the wrinkles are removed.
6.- Finally, re-apply fixative to the decal and the surface of the model for a better finish. Cover it as usual with a matte or gloss varnish if you feel it necessary to remove or add a gloss finish.
