    Hi there:) if I coat the water slide transfers with acrylic sealer (3 times as you say), how long can I leave the transfer sheets without using? Would it be possible to use the sheets in say a year? I assume the sealer's function is simply to make the ink resistant to water. Thanks for your time :)

    Find someone with a rare ALPS printer. They can print in white or metallic color. No such thing as white ink for an inkjet. If you want white on paper, the printer leaves the paper blank.

    after applying the waterslide on to the tumbler did you seal it with epoxy, modpodge or any other kind of spray sealer? this would be my first project & dont want to use epoxy since idk how to use it and pricy for now. on your description you mention hairdryer or ovensafe, if i use hair dryer without a sealer to finish would it be safe to hand wash?

  • @royalelementsofficial

    Great question! In order to fully seal and protect your waterslide decal you will have to epoxy over the waterslide decal. Alumilite clear casting resin is a good choice for this, and after sealing the decal it will be dishwasher safe. If you just use a hairdryer without sealing over the decal with epoxy it will NOT be permanent, you will still have to either laminate or epoxy over it.

    Hi everyone, can I get some help? :/ I am having massive printing issues. My printer leaves scratch marks all the time and sometimes the print is totally unusable. My printer back feed uses wheels that make contact with the ink on the paper and leave marks, and my front feed keeps bumping into curved or elevated surfaces on the paper, scratching the ink. Does anyone know how this can be solved? Many thanks in advance :)

    Hi Claudia, thanks so much for the comment!! Waterslide paper is very thin. It is mostly used because it can be moved around on the object while it is still wet and it looks like it has been painted on your surface. Most people seal over it with epoxy (then it becomes waterproof). If you are looking for a more durable, long lasting sticker paper I would suggest looking at these: www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A2WNG3PSNCD1AM&merchant=A2WNG3PSNCD1AM
