A decal is a image or graphic that is printed on special paper and made to transfer onto another surface. Water slide decal paper utilizes dextrose corn sugar residue from the image to transfer the water-mounted decal to your desired surface. They are different from other kinds of decal paper because they are thinner and can be made with more refined detail.

Projects that can optimize a water slide decal include book covers, glass, metal, candles, wood, and more. They are compatible with almost any surface, but it is often advised to spray your surface with a clear varnish once the decal is applied. This is for added security and to avoid the corners pulling up over time.

You can buy packages as small as five sheets, or up to 100 sheets of 8.5 by 11-inch paper. They are also available in a variety of paper finishes. Different options available include the following:

Water slide decals used to require a professional printer for the best quality. However, as long as you have the appropriate paper and printer, you can print them yourself. They can utilize an inkjet or laser printer; just be sure that the paper you select is compatible. Typically, they cannot be interchanged.

Clear paper is ideal for images that you desire a transparent background on. For example, if you want your companys logo displayed on a book without a big white box around it, you can print it on clear paper. You do not, however, want to opt for clear paper if your logo matches the color of the surface you are applying it to, as it will just blend in. Keep in mind that you need to electronically apply a transparent background to your image or logo before printing it, or it will still print with its original background.
