Koala 10 Sheets 8.5" x 11" Clear Printable Water Slide Transfer Paper

I found this waterslide decal film easy to work with and provided excellent results. As you can see, I am using this product for scale modelling decals. The decal prints well, takes less than 30 seconds to release in warm water and sets exceptionally well. I had to peel off one of these little decals and was impressed with the adhesion and flexibility of the film which allows it to conform perfectly on irregular surfaces. In a separate article, I read that Rustoleum 2X Semi-Gloss Clear was rated the best for sealing the printed ink on the film. I applied three light coats as recommended which provided excellent results. I waited 5 minutes between coats, then 30 minutes after the third coat. Then I carefully cut out the decal, immersed in warm water for about 20 seconds and applied. You want to align the decal as close as possible as you don't have much time to realign before the decal starts to adhere. Highly recommended!

I’ve used a few different brands of waterslide decal paper, and Koala’s clear inkjet version is hands down my favorite so far. Color quality: The print quality is excellent true to color, non fading, and very high definition. The transparency allows the background surface to show through beautifully, which makes it ideal for customizing light-colored mugs, glassware, and many of my custom model kits. Ease of use: Easy to print on with my regular inkjet printer. Colors stay vibrant even after sealing with matte or satin finishes and applies smoothly. Functionality: No tearing or cracking once applied and dried. If you seal it properly and follow the instructions (especially the drying and sealing steps), it performs flawlessly. Just make sure your base surface is light enough to show the design clearly as with any clear backed decal, dark backgrounds will make the artwork disappear.....UNLESS you print in reverse, spray white and apply the top sheet instead of the backing side. Highly recommend this for anyone doing custom crafts, model-making, or making personalized gifts. Great product, great results.
