Answers to some frequently asked questions...

Water Transfer Printing (also known as hydrograghics, immersion printing, camo dipping, hydro imaging and cubic printing) is a surface decorating process where elaborate graphics like wood grain, carbon fiber, camouflage, geometrical designs, etc… are applied to a 3-D product surface. The Water Transfer Printing process is extensively used to decorate items that range from entire all-terrain vehicles and car dashboards to small items like bike helmets or other automotive trim. Films can be applied to all types of substrates including plastic, fiberglass, wood, ceramics, and metal. For the most part, if the item can be dipped in water, the hydro-graphic process can be used. The process utilizes a water-soluble film that contains the printed patterns. The film dissolves in the water and leaves the ink on the surface. In the typical process, the item to be printed is first coated with a primer or an adhesion promoter. After this dries, a base-coat paint is applied which controls the hue of the pattern. So, for instance, wood grain prints often utilize a brown base-coat and many camouflage patterns use a neutral base. After the base-coat is applied, the item is ready for decorating. The film is activated. The item is then dipped into the water and the ink wraps around it. It is then washed and painted with a clear topcoat.

Its highly recommended to allow us to do the break down and reassembly at a flat rate of $60.00. If we damage it then we will fix it, if you damage it then its on you. Since this is a paint process the covering is not 100% cure for 30 days. Any part can be handled within just a few hours but are not 100% cured till the allotted time. After proper time to cure this product is extremely hard to damage and resistance to scratches etc. No prep is needed.

Most people watch videos online and think that the 30 second dipping process is all to hydrographics. Nothing is further than the truth. The facts are that we spend countless hours in blasting. prep, taping, priming, painting, to produce the results you see. A normal camouflage job on a shotgun is a 3 day process with many steps to insure proper adhesion. So if you think its worth the 100.00 trial for the DIY kit by all means go right a head. Just remember how much we charge to fix what YOU screw up. Good work takes time and we pride our self in producing the finest work in the industry.
