Custom printed metallic waterslide decals/transfers available in the following finishes currently: Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver & Metallic Bronze
For these transfers we require your artwork supplied as BLACK ONLY with areas that you don't want printing transparent. The Black part of your artwork is printed and this is what will be made to the finished metallic colour which you can select from the options available.
We know these are expensive, but there are a LOT of pieces to this product to make it all come together, the media is imported with very high shipping fees and import costs. The process for us is relatively lengthy and labour intensive (compared to full colour printed decals) and that sadly take times which costs money. But, they're great, so worth every penny ;)
Feel free to order a random sample to have a play with before placing a proper order so you can be sure they'll work as you want them to within your workflow and process. Please note that the website requires you to upload a file to be able to add it to the cart, just upload any image file here. The random sample we send you will be an off-cut of something else, or a basic shape of our choosing, we will NOT print the file you upload on metallic waterslide media.
These transfers are suitable for instrument makers, luthiers, guitar builders, scale models, miniatures and a whole lot more. If your application or skill isn't mentioned, please let us know and we'll get yours added to the list :)

We also provide this service for professional or semi-professional people and businesses that don't have a White Toner print facility but would like to add low cost short run transfers to their line-up.
We're also providing this service with users in mind that are interested in purchasing a white toner laser printer and wish to see how their designs look and feel once applied to the substrate of their choice. This also enables such users to understand some of the process and how the transfers are applied to their substrates and how they hold up in terms of durability.
* ARTWORK PREPARATION
- Provide your artwork as a PNG, PDF, SVG or TIFF
- Vector artwork must have all fonts and shapes converted to curves
- Minimum of 300dpi (lower resolutions will be scaled up)
- Please leave at least a 10mm margin/border around the whole page to allow for the peeling and trimming process
- Ideally important parts of the design should NOT be less than 1mm thick, some tiny dots may not transfer
- Any WHITE in the design WILL BE PRINTED as this process has the ability to print white. If you don't want the white printing, please remove it from the artwork before submitting as a png with a transparent background
- If your artwork file is larger than 25MB, then it probably won't upload to our site. In this case just upload ANY image file to your order and add a comment during checkout that you're emailing over the full sized file or WeTransfer link for us to use for printing :) Our email can be found in the Contact page top right
