Step 3 SPRAY

* Spray thin even coats (3) of acrylic varnish over the printed area.

* The backing paper will easily separate and slip off the decal when it has been soaked long enough.
* Do not take off the backing paper before placing.

Washability and other factors

Washability

• Either use plain water.
• Leaving the image in hot water for too long could weaken the ink.
• Do not wash with flammable thinner, rubbing alcohol or acetone, which could dissolve the ink.

 

Storage

• Store in dry, cool condition, free of moisture. Keep the papers in a reclosable plastic bag.
• The papers will last up to 1-2 years if kept enclosed in a plastic bag.
• The quality of the printout might compromise after a month from printing.

 

Additional tips

• Do not try to scratch right after transfer.
• The ink will seal and become more durable with time.
• You might achieve less adhesion on some plastic types.

 

Printing issues related to static electricity

• If static electricity occurs, the ink might not engage the paper properly and smudge.
• To prevent this, lay the paper one by one in a humidified space.
• Dry weather conditions generate static electricity, so humidifiers will help fix the problem.
