It should work on any printer that uses ink rather than laser, as long as it is an ink printer.
Yes, without a doubt. I recommend printing your design on regular paper first to make sure the decals are the right size, then on our decal paper. Spray the pieces with clear coat and then cut them out individually. Tweezers may be useful for handling decals, and after applying them, seal them with clear nail polish as a top coat. This, I hope, will be of assistance.
I have an Epson eco tank 2760 inkjet printer.
I've used the transfers on both aluminum and copper, and they've both performed admirably. I used Isopropyl alcohol to clean the metal before applying the glue. I drilled small (1/16") holes through the transfer and metal, then punched them out with a center punch; for larger holes (1/4"), it might be better to drill the hole first, then cut it out with a small razor knife.

What the title says is a long story that is cut short. Avoid the white-backed ones and stick to the clear ones. br>br>An expanded version is available here: br>br> br>For the price, these are pretty good clear decals. There are a few minor flaws, but nothing that a little practice with these specific ones won't fix. But, unfortunately, I've had nothing but problems with the white backed ones: first, contrary to what one of the top reviews says, you'll need to top coat a lot more than the instructions suggest. My sheets ink was still able to wipe and bleed off after I followed the regular instructions. When I first hit it with a 2-, I was pleasantly surprised. After 3 light coats and a generous 3rd or 4th, the ink would finally stop bleeding after a few hours, and the clear backing would easily come off and hardly ever curl or break apart, whereas the white backing would constantly have issues coming off the paper and always have cracks in the image, even if it slid off relatively easily. It would also easily chip off even after applying the micro sol/setter, whereas the clear back hasn't had any issues on any of my models or lighters that are constantly used, and that's without top coat!.
For the most part, the clear works well, but I do occasionally have to redo the entire image due to distortion, which is to be expected with any water slide. They are decent quality for the price, and I will likely order again. Mirroring the image and peeling the back off works better for me than sliding the image off the paper. However, I would save my money and get the all-clear Waterslide instead of the white.
My packet does not work, and I'm not sure if it's defective. I printed on the white waterslide, sealed it, and tried to apply it according to the directions. It was impossible to remove the backing. I squandered an entire sheet of paper attempting to make it work. I'll give it another shot, and if it works as intended for some strange reason, I'll update this review. I would suggest that you do something else for the time being.
What I didn't like about this product was that it was too thick to print through my printer. Every time I tried, it got stuck. The paper is quite thick, almost to the point of being posterboard quality. This could possibly be the issue. I would have ordered more of this product if it had worked for me. Because it includes both clear and white transfer paper sheets. This was a win-win situation. For me, it is a victory. br>One thing I liked about the product was that it came with both clear and white transfer sheets. It appears to be high-quality paper and has a pleasant feel to it. Not to mention the cost.
I make guitars, so I designed a logo and used this product to make headstock decals. The process of making a decal is fairly simple, but because the product is prone to tearing, you must handle it with extreme caution when removing it from the paper and mounting it to whatever you're using. It is prone to tearing. It would be a huge improvement in durability if the decal material was a little thicker.
I was able to print some hilarious designs for a set of shot glasses for my friend's birthday, and they turned out fantastically! I strongly advise.
I bought two of the combo packs, thinking to myself, "Hey, this is a great deal. " A huge blunder. I've only used two sheets of white and have had no luck. They are useless because they do not separate from the backing. Almost $40 was thrown away.
