The two terms seem to be used interchangeably so for the removal of doubt, these were water applied, billed as being for hobbyists (so to apply to plastic/metal models) and for a laser printer.Decal or transfer? It seems there are multiple ways to apply (water, heat, pressure...) and for different targets (ceramic, fabric...), and of course, for different printer types (laser, inkjet...).
Got any examples or threads where this technique has been demonstrated?Your result reminds me of the cheap one, print with laser printer and thin paper, cover the surface with acrylic medium, then push the paper and let dry. Hours later soak with water and peel the paper away.
