LASER CLEAR

I am a first time user of any decal paper. I was looking for quite some time to buy some kind of paper that can transfer artwork to stretched canvas, canvas board, wood surface without losing the details of the artwork. I finally found it.I read the negative review of this product and someone said it is too thin. But because of someone mentioned it is too thin, I decide to buy it. The thin paper will make harder to transfer once it is separate after wet, but it also means the tinner it is, the final result will look less 'stuck on'.* Thin - Yes, it is very thin. But it is also strong and won't tear easily.* Transparent - It is very clear. The color of the material you are using will come through like glass.* Sticker doesn't look like plastic and it doesn't give out the glossy cheap look. It looks matted once it is applied.* Quick separation - Once the sheet is submerged in the water, it will not take long (maybe about 20 seconds) before the transparent decal paper will separate. You can actually see it start lifting from the backing paper and the decal paper start to float starting from the corner, so, no need to keep it in the water too long. Because of this reason, I found it is the best to get all material ready.* Plenty of glue backing - When I transfer the decal onto Canvas, wood, etc., I have to reposition often. Because it is thin and once the decal paper is separate from the backing sheet, it will slide around. If I am working on a small piece, it is not a big issue. But when I work on larger size, I have to take my time and reposition the decal, so it won't transfer crooked. So, a lot of glue backing helps a lot.And it does have lots of glue! It gives me plenty of the time to work without rushing through the job.* It is not the filmless decal. So, if the image is smaller than the object you are using, even though it is thin, you will still see the film when you look at them in angle. If you look at it straight, it is not easy to detect, but at an angle, you will see if it is a sticker. But, if the decal is the same size as the material you are applying to, you can't tell if it is the decal or actually prints on directly to the material.However, when I applied protective material over the decal, the edge of the decal doesn't seem that noticeable.* Laser Printer - I love the fact that it works with a laser printer. The image is burned to the paper, as it comes out of the printer, I can touch it and it can immediately put under water. ** I worked with inkjet on different image transfer method and no matter what, you can't touch the image that printed on inkjet until it is dried. And also needs to be protected with something like polyurethane before using the water.So, I personally like to work with Laser Print, rather than Ink print. I am not sure if this paper will work with Inkjet or not. I bought it for Laser printer and it works well.* End results? - See attached photos.

I LOVE these! I purchased these to practice making personalized mugs and cups. I've never used water slides, before, so I wanted to try with the cheaper ones before getting the more expensive, film-free version. Well, surprise, surprise! Due to a happy accident, I've discovered how to make THESE labels "film-free"! I will most DEFINITELY be purchasing more of them and forgoing the more expensive ones.Like I mentioned before, I'd never used water slides and only discovered them by accident when searching for clear laser labels. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and after a few tries, I finally figured out a good "system". Application takes practice.Also, I've seen a lott of reviews complaining about the size, even though the listing clearly states "A4". These are NOT letter size and all printers work with A4 paper. Just set paper size to A4.

I previously tried using a SpinIt brand water slide but it was made for inkjet printers. This one is made for laserjet so definitely pay attention. This is easy to work with and I highly recommend it.

Worked perfectly on a Xerox laser printer. I used the manual feed tray as it keeps the paper straight.I had to futz about with the paper size, as A4 isn't very common here in the US. 8.5 X 11 would have been much easier. Nevertheless, the decals stick like glue and are very easy to apply.

Disclaimer: Most issues I have with this product are likely user error. I believe if one follows the instructions exactly, you'll have no problem with these decals working well for your project. I would say the one thing I found difficult was transferring the wet decal onto the chosen surface without having the decal fold a little onto itself on the edges. Otherwise, it worked pretty much as expected. I would say that the laser toner did sort of flake off on some of my items after the first wash. The decal itself came off on one or two, but I didn't follow all the instructions (as I noted above). I'll have to do some other experimenting to see how long-lasting the decals are. Overall it was a fun project for my kid and myself and we'll definitely find another use for the extra sheets.

Great paper and it works splendidly and exactly how it says to apply, I would consider curing it at a lower that the 150 degree F it says to as the paper will burn up and turn yellow unless you watch it carefully. I use it in a toaster oven with the door open and they seal and cure well. This paper rocks and a great alternative to other labeling.

I have not done decals for quite a few years and the paper I have purchased in the past has not been the greatest. This paper worked wonderful for my project. Would definitely buy it again.

We have been using several different brands of laser waterslide decal paper for over a year for our business. Recently we decided to try this paper because our other options would take longer to ship and we were in a time crunch.This is by far the worst example of laser waterslide decal paper we have ever encountered. Honestly, if we weren't stuck with it due to shipping delays from other vendors, we would have returned it after trying the first sheet. The toner comes off the decals, the decals wrinkle horribly, and the wrinkles typically make lines in the toner. As I said, we have been forced by circumstance to try to make due with this product, but the defect/failure rate is over 75%. Not only is our time being wasted, but this product was more expensive than our usual suppliers. So we are literally throwing our money away trying to make this product work. We are highly experienced with all of the difficulties of dealing with waterslide decal media, but never have we seen anything with a failure/defect rate of more than about 10%.
