DESCRIPTION

  • Perfect for temporary vehicle stickers or promotional material for small businesses
  • Clear and waterproof. No additional lamination required
  • Can be printed in two ways: directly with a laser printer or via sublimation. It can also be sublimated before or after adhering to the object's surface
  • High tear resistance. Its composition prevents creasing during handling
  • Excellent transparency without yellowish tones or graininess, ideal for achieving interesting optical effects
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). Pressure must be applied to the vinyl for adhesion
  • Low adhesion allows for easy removal without leaving adhesive residue on the applied surface
  • Highly stabilised and water-resistant liner. Ideal for customising the vinyl through direct printing
  • Compatible with dry toner laser printers, LED or flash fusion
  • Suitable for cutting with a plotter. Contains no PVC, so it can also be laser cut

 


THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

  • Use a squeegee to secure the adhesive and avoid air bubbles (see Related Products)
  • For greater opacity, use the Washaffix matte white vinyl, available in Related Products
  • Avoid using microwaves on cups, mugs, or plates customised with Washaffix
  • If using a Silhouette Cameo plotter, the recommended cutting parameters are: blade (2), speed (2), pressure (20), and passes (1)

HOW TO CUSTOMISE AND APPLY WASHAFFIX VINYL?

SUBLIMATION BEFORE APPLICATION: RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

  • Print the design in mirror image, using sublimation paper
  • Remove the liner from the Washaffix and stick it to protective paper or any other silicone paper. Use a squeegee to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles. Keep the liner for later
  • Preheat the press to 190ºC
  • Place the Washaffix vinyl on the press’ lower platen and the printed design on top of it(*). Cover them with another layer of protective paper
  • Press for 35 seconds, low pressure
  • Remove the layer of protective paper from the sublimated Washaffix vinyl and reattach it to its liner
  • With a dry cloth, clean any ink residue that might remain on the vinyl after pressing
  • Cut the design with a vinyl cutter if possible
  • When applying the design, simply remove the liner and stick it to the surface you are personalising

(*) To guarantee a more uniform pressure, you may place a thin board, or something similar, on the press’ lower platen before placing the vinyl.

 

SUBLIMATION AFTER APPLICATION: RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

  • Cut and stick the Washaffix vinyl to the object you want to personalise
  • If necessary, use heat-resistant tape to protect the parts of the item that may get damaged by heat
  • Print the design in mirror image, using sublimation paper
  • Preheat the press to 190ºC
  • Place the item on the press’ lower platen, with the vinyl to be printed facing up
  • Place the previously printed design on the vinyl
  • Press for 35 seconds, heavy pressure
  • Using a protective glove, remove the item with the newly printed vinyl
  • Remove the paper carefully

 

LASER PRINTING

  • You can use any laser printer: standard or white toner, with LED technology or flash fusing
  • Select the paper type in your printer: “Transparency” or the most suitable option according to the thickness and grammage of this vinyl.
  • Place the vinyl in the printer tray
  • Print the design on the vinyl
  • Cut the outline of the design using scissors or a vinyl cutter
  • Remove the excess media, leaving on the liner the design you want to stick to the item
  • Slightly peel the design off its backing at one end, but enough so that it sticks to the vinyl to begin its application
  • Gradually place the vinyl on the target surface. Use a squeegee to avoid the formation of air bubbles
