Koala Waterslide Decal Paper INKJET CLEAR, 20 Sheets 8.5x11 Inch Water Slide Transfer Paper Transparent Printable Waterslide Paper for DIY Tumbler, Mug, Nails

What a waste. First and foremost, let me state that I am a seasoned crafter who is no stranger to the waterslide. I'd also like to point out that I only buy Koala brand sublimation paper because it's so good, which is why I tried out their waterslide. br>br>After my first attempt at the Koala waterslide, I am filled with regrets. I usually seal my water slide with two to three coats of good sealant, and it works perfectly. I bled profusely the first time I used it. I actually blamed myself for not properly sealing it. Perhaps I only applied two coats and needed to apply more. I needed to finish this cup and didn't want to repeat the process, so I waited an hour for it to dry off the printer before sealing it. Then I gave it five good coats of paint. I let it air dry completely and even used a space heater to keep the humidity at bay. I thought it was lovely and hoped for the best. I used it on the cup and let it dry completely before using it again. I'm stuck with a FAIL once more. It bleeds despite everything I do. I'll keep using Koala sublimation paper, but I'll never use Koala waterslide paper again, and I'll warn other crafters to stay away from it.

I had to go through two sheets to get it completely sealed. The ink will smear and the paper will tear if you don't seal it. Once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze to work with. It's a pink bottle of Mod Podge glossy sealer that I use to seal the project. I spray three times with a light mist and wait for 30 minutes. Each spray should be spaced out by 45 minutes. After the last spray, I let it sit overnight before applying it to whatever surface I'm going to use it on. THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL RESULTS IS PATIENCE.

I would not recommend it. It was disappointing. Only one project out of ten was a success. Even after being sealed multiple times with acrylic, inks still bled when wet. I gave it a couple of tries. When I tried to slide the designs off, they all stretched and warped. I'm sorry I bought these, and I wouldn't buy them again or recommend them to anyone.

Some advice: Our cheap inkjet printer didn't do a great job, so we took the paper to a print shop, where the colors came out much smoother and richer. Because the plastic is so thin, flat or cylindrical surfaces are much easier to work with than complex curved surfaces. After you've applied it, work quickly to remove any air bubbles before it dries out and tears.

Not at all what I had anticipated. There are a lot of steps in this. I'm looking for something straightforward.

I've previously purchased koala printing products and have always been satisfied with them. It's incredibly simple, and all of the gifts I've made so far have been fantastic. You get more sheets than other brands, so they're the best value for money!.

Tumblers are a breeze to make with this material. They don't rip if they're sealed. I've used a lot of water slide paper, and this is one of the best I've seen.

This product is extremely difficult to use; it either bunches up, causing wrinkles on your project, or wrips when you try to smooth it out. br>I dislike it and will not purchase it again.
