Inkjet Waterslide Decal Paper

What kind of inkjet printer should I buy to use the inkjet waterslide decal paper?

Posted by Decal & Hyde on 03/12/2021

We recommend a photo quality printer with a bypass tray and you have to make sure it uses dye ink and can handle 200+gsm thickness. Multi function printer (i.e. fax + photo copy + printer) is not recommended.

I need something which is going to hold up best to use & washing on a day to day basis.

All non-firing waterslide decals are decorative products and the only way to make ‘day to day’ ceramic & glass ware is firing decals.
The strongest inkjet decal product we have is the magic coating paper which is not dishwasher safe but gentle hand wash is ok. The inkjet waterproof decal is not strong enough and it is also white decal, not clear.

It seems you need to apply thicker spray coat, so apply one or two more coats at a slower pace.

Do I have to apply a spray coat to inkjet decals?

Posted on 28/06/2021

In the case of inkjet waterslide decal paper, you must apply a clear acrylic spray coat to protect the ink when putting the decal in the water. Most inkjet printers use water-based ink.

I’m just wondering if the inkjet decal paper can be used to put images on to a mirror?

Posted by Decal & Hyde on 30/06/2021

Yes the inkjet decal paper can be used on mirror. However, it won’t be seen vivid as images printed on white paper.

Which inkjet waterslide decal paper would you recommend that does not need the acrylic spray or the one that does?

Posted by Decal & Hyde on 30/06/2021

You can use https://drdecalmrhyde.com.au/shop/waterproof-waterslide-decal-paper-for-inkjet-printers/ It is very convenient to use but the printing quality is not good as the standard waterslide inkjet decal paper. Still good enough to use for nail art though.
