Rub-on decal paper for inkjet printers

 

Clear Aerosol Adhesive Spray.

this media must be used with our Rub-On decal tack or similar product.

 

 

 

Use our Rub-on Decal Paper (media) to make clear, permanent production decals that will adhere to almost any substrate including: most types of plastic, metal, glass, marble, slate, unpainted wood, any painted substrate. Great for most interior walls (nock-down finish), ceramic bisque, any glazed or unglazed fired ceramic or porcelain glass, most types of wax candles, and fiberglass.

 

So why use rub-on decals rather than self-adhesive clear vinyl or water-slide decal media?

 

Rub-on decals offer greater water resistance than water-slide decals and clear inkjet vinyl. Rub-on decals are also less prone to mechanical wear and tear from handling or even normal use. Another advantage to rub-on decals is that they are thinner than vinyl and make great looking permanent, thin, decals that almost give the look of being printed directly on the item they are applied to. Water-slide decals are ideal for decorative items and arts & crafts creations, whereas run-on decals are the better choice for production items. Rub-on decals accept almost any clear top-coating. Our rub-on decal media has been tested and shows good compatibility with the following clear top-coats: Oil Enamel, Acrylic, Epoxy, and Two-part Urethane.

You must use Rub-On Decal Tack from HPS.

Or a similar product, to use this media.

Instructions:

1) Copy/Print on to the glossy side of the media. 

2) Apply a thin coat of the Papilio Rub On Decal Tack. (If you are using Transfer Adhesive then follow the instructions that come with the transfer adhesive film.)  Let the rub on decal tack dry for a few hours or over night.  A second coat should NOT be applied.

 

Applying the decal:

1) Cut out the image with scissors while holding the paper at a constant 90 degree angle to prevent the media from sticking. 

2) Apply the decal face down onto the substrate to be decorated.

3) Apply pressure to the back side of the paper using a solid object, such as a pen or pencil, working in a circular motion.

4) Use your fingers or a sharp object to lift off and discard the paper media. the artwork (the decal) will remain on the substrate.

 For additional durability the Papilio Rub On Decal may be cover coated with various types of solvent based cover coats:  epoxy, urethane, oil enamel, acrylic, etc.

 this decal paper can also be used on various types of substrates:  wood, marble, slate, glass, rock, different types of plastic, metal, most  painted substrates, fiber glass, cardboard, etc.

 DO NOT cut out the decal first and then apply the rub on decal tack as the edges of the paper  will absorb the liquid making it  difficult  transfer the decal later.
