Sunnyscopa Waterslide Decal Paper for Laser Printer - Clear, A4, 20 Sheets - Personalized Water Slide Transfer - DIY Custom Printable Water-Slide Decals

A good product which results in good quality results. Works on the same principle of the water transfers you used to get in model aircraft kits. The important thing to remember is that you must use a fixing spray. As these have to be dipped in water to remove from backing it is a vital part of the process. I had 2 designs on one sheet. One of these did not come out right so I did not use fixing spray on that side. Once the sheet was dipped in water the untreated image just fell apart and floated. I would not expect these to survive in a dishwasher unless the fixing spray( which you need to buy separately) states it is designed for such a task. Overall easy to use though

I scratch build scale models and often have to make my own decals. I've tried numerous papers from different companies here in the UK all with terrible results. Either jamming or toner not sticking to the paper. I found this on here and read the reviews, some were good and some not so, but decided to buy ten sheets and see how it went. The picture says it all really! Fantastic stuff. I watched the Sunnyscopa video and set my printer to what was recommended and the prints are perfect. I also really like this paper as the actual decal film is so thin that it's hardly there once applied. I've already bought more of this and the white backed paper. Printer is an HP colour laserjet MFP175nw with original HP toner cartridges in it. Paper is set to 'Heavy Glossy 110 - 130g' in the page setup before printing.

A very good product

Having never used decal paper and having read a few horror stories of clagged up laser printers I was apprehensive to try this, aspecially as my laser printer specifically says that it doesn't support heat sensitive paper, but I took the plunge regardless. Very glad I did, the results are great on my very first try. Having seen advice to choose the coolest possible settings for the printer, the only adjustment I made to the driver settings on my Brother HL-L8260CDW was to select the "reduce paper curl" option, and I've been careful to only use the decal paper when the printer is cold / just turned on. I actually ran the first sheet through the printer three times while i was testing, and even on the third run the decals produced are totally fine and usable. Being new to this I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm very happy with this paper. I'm creating decals to be used on plastic model kits and they look good to me, although i'm certainly no expert modeller!

I make my own model airliner decals pictures above of a model i made using this decal paper , i find the print quality very good , it is a thin film so conforms round the corners well , it is the best decal paper i have used some other brands i find the inks break up when you try and move the decal round this doesnt , very good value for money too

Although I bought these some time ago, I only used them for the first time this weekend. They printed extremely well. The finish was good quality, really sharp and excellent colours. I had no problems at all with my HP Laserjet 500 Color M551 printer. The sheets went through easily (although I had to give them a slight nudge from the manual feeder tray to get them to pick up) and there was no loss of print, jamming or smudging. My problems started when actually applying the decals. I will get better with practice, but, boy you do need practice. The decals are very, very fine - as in thin. They curl or fold on themselves extremely easily and retrieving them if this happens I found more or less impossible without them breaking up. They damage very easily. I found you just needed to wet them (not leave them to soak in the water and don't use warm water as I normally would); let them sit for a short time only before gently starting to release the decal from the backing and applying them as near to in situ as possible (to avoid too much sliding around to get into final position) and with great care and attention. I had to print two sheets of decals to provide enough to cover my errors and disasters. The other problem, again deriving from their thinness, is that they are translucent. A light or even mid-range colour on a dark background or a non-plain background won't work at all as I found to my cost. I used my home made decals on a plastic model of a DC3 aircraft. in the end the results were acceptable, but had I realised the issue of the translucency before hand, I would have been more careful about my paint scheme before applying the decals to avoid problems of background colours showing through (see nose of aircraft in the picture). This was my first attempt at making my own decals. For all I know all decal sheets may be like this. But be prepared because these won't be like the pre-manufactured decals that are supplied with plastic models.

Good product to use, slide off the backing paper easily. I printed them, then used two coats of plastikote industrial clear acrylic to seal them. Didn't touch for two hours to let the acrylic dry thoroughly, spray outdoors if possible, and leave in the sun to dry. I used them the following day and no bleeding of the ink, as I was only making small decals, I cut them to size and used tweezers to dip them in the water, then placed them in position on the backing paper and waited a couple of minutes, once the backing paper is soaking wet the decal will come off, just be patient, if you leave them to soak in the water and its only small, you sometimes end up with it floating off the paper, that's a give up and start again scenario. I've never tried doing large decals with them, so don't know how they would work for that.

Brother 3550 took the sheets and printed great guns. In effect the paper quality is as good as glossy/matt photo paper so you shouldn't have issues getting a good quality print. Decal pops free from the backing after maybe 10 seconds under water, it's then just a matter of fishing it out and sliding the transfer in to place. If you make sure the area to receive the transfer is slightly damp it helps in getting the decal placed just right, a press-down with a cotton bud does the trick in seating it perfectly if you're dealing with small prints or curved surfaces.

Best decal paper out there! Durable, prints well. Colors are great. Adheres well to metal painted items.

Ras,fait son job!

Solid product that works as advertised when following the instructions. I've been a hobby modeler since I was a kid and have a decent amount of experience with waterslide decals. These are a quality product. The carrier film is thinner then some other craft brands I've tried, although not as thin as high quality commercial waterslide decals that come with most model kits. After clear coating to make the decals waterproof, they are probably a little too thick to be used on plastic models... but the upside is that they do not easily tear during placement. All that said, I didn't buy these for plastic model use. I got them to add some snazzy graphics to the Pinewood Derby car I was making with my son. For that use, where I'm not too worried about making the graphics seem as "painted on" as I would with a model build, these worked perfectly. They took the ink and clear coat with no issues. The white backing paper appears to be acceptably opaque. I put these on a bright yellow surface and I can only make out the very slightest amount of color bleed from below. I'm not sure how they would hold up over a black or very dark surface, but impressed with this first usage. NOTE: Just a reminder... almost all ink jet inks will dissolve in water. You must follow the directions and coat these with a waterproof clear coat before application.

By far my favorite!

me gusto mucho la calidad y el servico que me dieron fue super rapidisimo y como lo queria para un regalo todo salio perfecto les doy un 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
