What brand waterslide paper do you use

[ac30irons]

Had a try at doing a water slide decal the other day. It literally melted to slime. I had to go my usual route with clear sticky vinyls. The only issue with this is you get one shot.

What brand waterslide do people use. I have a lazer jet also.

I use Koala, I get it I. eBay. I had the disintegration issues until I switched to this. I tried a bunch of different ones, this works for me.

Thanks. Not sure I can get it in the UK. I don’t understand why anyone would make water slide paper that dissolves in water. Think they missed the brief at R an D.

I’ve been pretty happy with Sunnyscopa Film Free.

You can fit 6 125b tops on one sheet so figure that in. It’s about $1.25 US a sheet in the US. What’s your cost? It has to be much cheaper than Tayda UV printing?

Sunnyscopa clear film. few sprays of clear coat and then pray lol. can be tricky to not get the corners to fold in on themselves.. then its game over. I usually waste 1 every pedal. lol

I’ve been using sunnyscopa lately but I used Hayes Paper brand in the past. I bought both from amazon and cant complain about either.

pretty much 99% of my builds get clear waterslide...sunnyscopia for inkjet.... print.... spray a light coat of clear gloss " Lacquer".. let dry 10 minutes.. then hit it with a wet coat of lacquer.... dry several hours.... trim out the decal..... i soak the decal in warm water for about 5-10 seconds.. place on the counter and watch the paper lay down flat... when you first take it out its curled.. once it relaxes its ready to apply.... lightly wet your enclosure.... I push up the decal on its paper to expose about a 1/4"... slap that edge down on the enclosre and line up... then i lightly pull the paper out between the decal and the enclosure......
