BASIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare
your work on PC; possibly do a test print using plain paper first to check
graphics and colors.
Enter
our paper decals in the printer, making sure to position it in a way that the
white side will be the one on which the image is printed, it is possible to
keep the printer settings for thick or very thick paper (board).
Once
printed sheets, let it dry for some time without stacking, if the paper does
not remain plain, probably an adjustment of the ink is requestes (too much
inks), try to lower the total quantity by 20-30% using the commands normally
found in the driver.
The
next step is to protect the toners from external agents, to secure and protect
the colors are normally used spray products, the best are the one with this
indication: DRYING FAST SYNTHETIC/ACRYLIC GLAZE (VARNISH) available normally on
the market with transparent, glossy or matt finishing.
Do
this in a clean and airy room, it is essential that there is no dirt/dust on
the sheet before the "painting"; spray from 30cm away, smoothly and
without exaggeration.
When
the printed sheet is perfectly dry proceed to crop the images and then immerse
them in clean water at ambient temperature.
After
immersion the sheet will scroll on himself, but after about a minute it will be
possible to see that the same will reopen slightly, at this point moisten the
surface on which you will have to apply the image, then take the decals WITH
BACKGROUND PAPER (support), place it on the piece and let it slip away (gently)
from the media itself.
Using
a rubber spatula (or soft paper or latex gloves) push the water/air trapped
between the decal and the piece from the center to the outside, during this
operation try to be as lightweight as possible, this is the most critical
phase, excessive pressure may cause the rupture of the decal.
Dry
well the surface of the decal and let dry the piece for a few hours.
After
drying the result will be a finished piece, decorated with an image super
durable for your every use!
