Laser Decal

This product was a quick and artful solution to adding a header to a wood photo board I built for our summer cottage. (See photo). I followed the directions and it worked like a charm. I can pass on a few tips— 1. Use a high quality laser printer. The inexpensive Brother laser printer at my house gave poor results with washed out letters. I then tried using a high quality Xerox laser printer at work and the letters on the decal material came out sharp and well defined with excellent colors. 2. I wetted the wood destination slightly with warm water before applying the decals. The wood surface was semi smooth (rough sanded with a light latex rub). 2. After trimming the decals, I soaked in warm water one at a time for 30 seconds. I used a timer. 3. I put the decal with the backing where I wanted the decal to be and with a couple of fingers lightly keeping the decal in place, I gently pulled the backing to the right and out from under the decal, leaving the decal on the right spot without handling it. The wetted surface allowed fine tuning the placement. 3. I used a wet paper towel to smooth out the decal and press it into the texture of the wood. 4. I slightly dampened a second paper towel and gently blotted the decal to remove excess water drops. Be careful with this step. The paper towel must be moist enough not to lift the decal. The decal has a satin finish that is visible compared to the flat finish of the latex wash on the wood. I would say it is noticeable from certain angles but not so much that it distracts. I will figure out what to do about it over the winter and will provide an update. Overall I highly recommend this product. It provided an attractive solution to giving my project a lighthearted header and should last for years to come.

Great product. I have been using laser printed decals for 5+ years now and the product doesn’t disappoint. Incredible detail is retained and i use the decal paper for tiny projects (specifically on small LEGO pieces to create custom parts) the decal paper forms across any bumps and extrusions without losing detail and quality. Had a small problem with a missing pack and my order and the seller happily sent my missing item right then and there. Great product and great company. Thanks so much!

Very straight forward. This is a an absolutely wonderful product for those wanting to create fully colored [or black and white] decals. As with many water bath decals, this will show a slight background even being clear, so cut as close as you can to the image. I have old models that needed restoration and this paper was the ticket. The laser paper has performed solidly for me. It didn't take any soaking time at all and they go on smoothly and dry quickly.

seems good so far... experimenting with printing methods etc... so far so good. Intended use is on a couple of scale models. Like any other similar, including factory -printed decals, using a decal slide medium and adhesive can really help, as well as a surface sealer afterward.

It works great for me.

I want to mention first: If you're putting this on anything but a WHITE painted/background, the colors WILL NOT SHOW UP APPROPRIATELY. You have to know that toner and ink are meant to be put on white paper, which means they will show up *VERY* transparent on this decal paper. THIS IS NO REFLECTION ON THE PAPER ITSELF! It's of very high quality. The actual waterslide decal part of the sheet is thin and very nice for scale models (which was my use for it). It only had to be in the water for a few seconds before it came loose and was ready to be applied. It holds up very well to using a hobby knife to reposition it (because they never go on exactly where you want) and is pretty tough all around. I used MicroSol and MicroSet on the decal after application, which it took quite well and melted nicely into every crack and crevice of the model. Even though this is a LASER decal sheet, it's still a good idea to spray a nice layer of clear acrylic varnish over the top since it *is* going into water. To use a decal sheet like this on something painted other than white, you'll need to either use white and cut out exactly along the decal, or find a toner cartridge that prints white. You'll then have to print the decal in white, then put the paper back in and then print over that with color. I'm waiting for my white toner cartridge to see how effective this is. If I can get that to work correctly I will 100% be using this decal paper from now on.

Super Qualität. Die Blätter lassen sich problemlos einzeln entnehmen. Das ablösen auf die Kerze ist ohne Rückstände möglich. Tolles Produkt

Das beste Papier für Kerzentattoos,die ich bisher getestet habe und ich bleibe dabei Hatte mich zwar in der grösse vertan, Letter Format,statt DIN a 4, aber dann druck ich halt in US Letter Format, passt alles bestens

Excellent stuff, I order this a lot

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple to use and good quality. On wood, needs to be sealed for edges to stay or wood needs to be sanded and completely flush.
