KOALA Matte Waterslide Decal Paper for INKJET & LASER Printers, No Need Spray Coating, White 8.5x11 Inch Water Slide Paper for DIY Tumbler, Mug, Nail Crafts, 5 Sheets

I make my own decals for my model railroad and my usual supplier of decal sheets is no longer an option. I was glad to find that Koala Paper produced a white, inkjet decal paper that didn't need a spray coating which is exactly what I used to buy from the other supplier. I have printed some decals and they came out very clear and colorful so I am anticipating many more uses of Koala Decal paper.

No pre spray. Images are bright and ink stays where put, no bleeding. It does rip so be careful when applying to surfaces. Watch the Youtube videos on howto apply. My new go to for waterslides. Can't wait for Koloa to come up with a clear waterslide.

Worked alright for what I got them for.

Very nice decal paper.No more clear before you apply

I ended up printing off a picture of David Bowie, I’d follow instruction and it was never easy to slide something so large off the paper. The neck tended to want to rip also. The worst part is, I’d get it off the paper and on the snowboard top, and as it could dry the edges would curl. I couldn’t just clear it right away to stop the curling. As trapped water under clear doesn’t work too well. It then didn’t stick to the board well either. Once fully dries I’d turn my air pressure down and most clear over it to help hold it down and to be able to pressed the curled edges down. But even with low pressure, it would lift the image and only areas would stick. Went through a whole package and only got close enough to be able to clear it once. Maybe would work better for smaller images, but even then, not sure how you’d stop the edges from curling as they dry.

I bought this product to personalize coffee mugs for family and friends attending my husband's retirement celebration. So, it was super important to get this right. I didn't want to embarrass or disappoint him with poor results. This was my first time doing a decal project. So, I have no experience with other products in order to provide comparison comments. In regards to my experience with the product, do yourself a favor and do a water submerge test before wasting time, money and effort. The packaging states that the smooth, whiter side of the paper is the waterslide. Nope. I wasted an entire pack of paper before realizing that I had printed on the wrong size. I found that out when I placed the printout in water and the waterslide was white and the print was on the backing :( I purchased more paper and started again. I'm pleased and relieved to say the mugs turned out great! The decal went on fairly easily once I got the hang of it. There was no problem with tearing. I was able to smooth out the decal by gently using a dry paper towel and my fingers. Placing the mugs in the oven as recommended, certainly was good advice. That seemed to seal the decal onto the cup. Now, that I know how to work with this product, I will definitely purchase it again. I gave a 3-star rating because the package instructions cost me a whole pack of paper and delayed completion of my project by two days while I waited for delivery another pack.

Decal paper is a bit thick. Still need to seal

Best waterslide decals I've ever ordered. No need to spray with finish. Ultra thin so decal isn't noticeable. Works great with my HP Envy photo printer
