The Next Generation of Hydrographic Printing
Hydraulic transfer film is an infinitely customizable process that decorates and coats molded plastics and metals with more consistency and accuracy than ever before.
This next-generation surface decoration method can transfer digitally printed patterns and images onto three-dimensional surfaces. A water-soluble (PVA, polyvinyl alcohol) film is placed on the water surface, then the primed object is dipped to transfer the print. Afterward, a clear topcoat is sprayed on to provide abrasion and chemical resistance. Because the dipping and coating processes are automated, this process delivers high throughput and consistent quality.
Any color or pattern can be printed on the transfer films, such as wood, marble, metallic, or abstract patterns and effects. The company complies with ISO 14001 and ISO/TS 16949 for environmental stewardship and manufacturing efficiency. Applications for hydraulic transfer film include automotive interiors and consumer electronics.
