EXPERTS-CHOICE™ DECAL FILM SHEETS
NOW YOU CAN QUICKLY AND EASILY CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM DECALS.
Experts-Choice® Decal Film is available in both clear and white one and three sheet packs. With Experts-Choice™ plain decal film you can use your own color ink jet or laser printer to make home made decals. You can also use a color photo copier to reproduce any decal of your choice. This material allows you to use existing artwork from books, magazines, computer clip art, or your own original art to create any decal. The standard 8 1/2 X 11 sheets work perfectly with any copier or printer.
Important notice: Inkjet decal film is intended for use with inkjet printers only. Please choose laser decal film for photocopiers and laser printers. Laser film is located below the inkjet film.
#1 First select the image or images you want to scan or create your own graphics in your drawing and printing program. Before you print the images onto the decal paper you may want to make sure that everything fits by printing a sample on plain white paper. If everything fits, proceed with printing your art work on the Experts-Choice™ Decal Film.
#2 After printing, we recommend coating the decal with a fine spray of Microscale Liquid Decal Film (our stock #127). Let this dry and then give it another heavier coat and let it dry thoroughly. If you do not have an airbrush you can use a wide, soft brush. This will do two things. It will protect the image from smudging while handling. It will also strengthen the film so it will not bunch up when applying it to your object. You are now ready to apply your decal as you would any other water slide decal.
#3 Cut out the image you wish to apply and place it in a bowl of luke warm water. As soon as it moves easily on the backing paper, remove it from the water.
#4 Slightly moisten the area where you are going to apply the decal with Microscale Micro Set (our stock #129). This will prepare the surface with special wetting agents. Slide the image onto the surface.
#5 Use a soft damp cloth to blot away excess liquid and smooth the decal in place.
#6 After applying your decal to the model use a soft brush to apply a light coat of Microscale Micro Sol (our stock #128). This will soften the decal and allow it to become part of the surface. DO NOT TOUCH it after applying the Micro Sol. Just allow it to dry.
