Ideal media when you want a clear and flexible label. The glossy clear inkjet vinyl may be waterproofed for temporary outdoor use, using clear acrylic or clear oil enamel.
1) Copy/Print on to the coated side of the media using a compatible Inkjet Printer.
2) To prevent a paper jam, make sure the vinyl is not bent, warped, or corners folded BEFORE loading. Loading by hand ONE SHEET at the time pressing FF/Ready is a
way to make sure it loads correctly.
3) When gluing a vinyl label to any surface, clean the surface and remove residual grease, soot, or dust.
4) It is not recommended on larger labels such as 11 X 17 to remove all the back paper before installing. It is better to remove the paper from a small area at one
end first such as a 1/2 Inch vertical strip at the left hand or right hand edge.
5) Line up your label. When the position looks correct, let the label make contact with the surface on the edge where you removed the back paper.
6) Now bend the label back and carefully remove the rest of the protective back paper, and glue the label down working from the end you glued first. Then work your
way towards the other end holding that end away from the surface. You can use your finger or a sponge and only press down (glue) a small area each time to prevent
trapping air bubbles. Do not use excessive pressure when working the label to prevent smudging the ink.
7) If the label is used outdoors you must use clear spray and overlaminate. The Overlaminate must be applied in such way that it prevents water from contacting the
label. Clear enamel spray is available here or in most hardware or automotive parts stores.
You can spray the label before you apply it to prevent over spray. Fixative spray is available in most craft stores or you can use the clear spray offered here or
sold in most automotive parts stores. Use our WOL overlaminate together with the spray. Using clear spray as the only protection will offer limited water proofing
Water slide decal is an ideal media for all kind of arts an craft items as well as for small production runs.
You can apply water slide decal paper to most non-porous substrates such as marble, glass, slate, metal, painted metal, finished wood, most types of plastic,
Plexiglas, cardboard, and more.
For more "difficult" substrates such as interior plaster walls, some wood, slate, and other unfinished or porous substrates we recommend our rub-on decal paper.
