KNOWLEDGE BASE

Water transfer printing, also known as hydrographic printing or hydro dipping, is a method used to apply intricate and customized patterns to the surface of three-dimensional objects. It works on almost any material including plastic, metal, wood, and glass.

The process involves these main steps:

1. A design is printed on a water-soluble film.
2. The film is placed on the water's surface, where it floats.
3. An activator solution is applied to dissolve the film and create a bonding agent.
4. The object is carefully dipped through the ink layer.
5. The object is rinsed and coated with a protective clear finish.

We stock over 2500+ patterns including Carbon Fiber, Wood Grain, Camouflage, Skulls, and Designer Arts. We also offer Custom Printing services where you can use your own digital files.

Any rigid object that can be submerged in water without damage can be dipped. Common items include Automotive Rims, Dashboards, Helmets, Gun Stocks, Phone Cases, Gaming Controllers, and Home Decor items.

Activator is a chemical solution sprayed onto the film after it hydrates on the water. It dissolves the PVA backing and liquifies the ink, turning it into a floating layer of oil that bonds to the object. Without activator, the film remains a solid sheet and will not transfer.

Yes. Once the design is transferred and sealed with a high-quality automotive Clear Coat (Topcoat), it becomes as durable as car paint. It is resistant to UV rays, scratches, and weather.
