Water Transfer Printing

Water transfer printing is a system that allows for eye catching designs printed on a wide variety of products and substrates. It is especially useful to print complex shapes.

Water soluble film can be printed with almost any type of graphic pattern, examples can be wood, marble, camouflage or company logos. The film is floated in an immersion tank of water. The product to be printed is dipped into the water, in either a manual or automated system. Water follows any complex shape to produce a smooth, consistent print. A clearcoat is then applied for durability and fade resistance.

Water transfer printing can significantly increase the value, shelf appeal and competitive position of many products. Several third party proprietary printing systems are available and licensed worldwide to both manufacturers and contract printers.Our grades are ideally suited to successfully print in a gravure process.

Transfer printing is applicable for a wide variety of packaging materials, including glass, plastic, metal, wood, porcelain and other special surface.
