I did the original no film tutorial 6 years ago under the TWS (RIP😂) and that was lost. Some people have done something similar but I thought I would gauge interest before I do it.

The process has very good results when done correctly and even with higher shipping due to tarrifs the initial buy in for supplies is far cheaper than doing UV prints, which also are far more expensive due to tarrifs. The only caveat is you need a laser printer. Also, you will have to drill the enclosure so actual diy is involved.

I'm back to doing no film and since I'll be doing some more enclosures in the the coming weeks, I thought why not see if anyone wants a revised tutorial with my new process. ICYMI, this is the results I'm getting.

I'm game to see a new updated version..
 
I'm pretty sure your original how-to guide on the Sunnyscopa film-free waterslide decals is what got me into it. Using your guide, I generally had pretty good results.

However, since using their newer "GW1-PRO" glue (aka transfer agent) I've had mixed results. I wrote up a collection of notes on using it here: Sunnyscopa Film-Free Laser Jet Waterslide Notes for New GW1-PRO Glue. But I wouldn't consider those authoritative, since following them hasn't consistently given me good results.

So... that's my main question, are you using the GW1-PRO glue?

I saw your guide with the new glue, and have not used it. I will place an order in another month or two for some more paper and glue and will continue using the GW1+ glue, I'm also gonna buy some more of that.
