FAQs
- Laser
1. Can the decals printed on laser paper be fired after application?
NO.
The inks used in all printer cartridges are not ceramic or glass
inks and therefore, they cannot withstand the high temperatures
used in such firings. If you wish to semi permanently set your decal
into any ceramic piece, you may bake the piece in your home oven
at 200-300 F for twenty minutes.
2. Are the decals printed on laser paper permanent when
applied to a surface?
NO. They will
come off if you expose them to water. They are however permanent
for decoration purposes on hanging tiles, collector plates, wooden
furniture, etc. Anything that you decorate and do not wash, heat
or microwave should be long lasting.
3. Do you ship out samples of these papers?
No. Sorry, we
do not ship out samples of any of our papers. We offer a minimum
order of 25 sheets in our 25-sheet-pack that can be ordered on line
through our secured web site.
4. Is our web site secured to protect all information submitted
on line?
YES. Your order
is processed on our secure server. You can be rest assured that
your credit card and all other information is safe.
5. How long will it take to receive the order?
All orders
are shipped the SAME DAY your order is placed. For domestic orders
allow 3-5 working days and for international orders, please allow
5-7 working days for shipment to arrive. You can always contact
our office for a shipping update once your request has been processed
and your card has been approved.
6 . How should the laser water-slide papers be stored?
Keep them in
a cool dry place avoiding any exposure to moisture. The papers will
stick together and become damaged if they are exposed to water or
moisture.
7. Why do you sell your laser decal papers 8.5" x 11"
or larger sizes and not smaller sheets like other decal paper sellers?
Because our
decal papers gives you much more sheet area for your money. If you
do not want to print over the entire sheet 8 ½ " x 11",
you can cut the sheet to your specifications and keep the rest for
later use. It is important to note that our prices are lower, our
quality is higher and our service is much better than any of our
competitors. We believe in giving our customers their money's worth.
8. Can I mix Laser & Inkjet decal papers
and printers?
No, InkJet decal
papers were designed to accept "wet" inks, and laser decal
papers accept "dry" inks only. They have special treatments
for their specific tasks.
9. Can decal Paper adhere well over any surface?
Yes, our decal
paper with its high adherence quality makes it ideal to apply to
surfaces where other papers fail. You can apply decals over candles,
soap, plastic, metals, computer parts, wood, glass, ceramics, laminated
papers, etc.
10. Why I don't have to coat the Laser decal paper?
Because Laser decal papers allow the laser printer to write
with the laser heat on the surface of the paper making it available
for immediate use.
11. Can I purchase larger sizes of this Laser decal paper?
Yes you can.
You can contact us at 305.593.9071 and we will give you the information
you need.
12. Can I use the decals to make T-Shirts?
No. This printing
method is not designed for that use.
13. Can I apply decals on my skin, similar to temporary
tattoos?
No. The inks
on your printer should not go directly on your skin. We are developing
a new decal paper that will allow the inks to be deposited between
two layers of natural adhesives so the inks will not touch your
skin.
14. Can I place the decals on bright sunlight?
Yes, but keep
in mind that decals that your print in your printer are not designed
to withstand the elements and they will fade with time and harsh
conditions, no matter how well you protect them. It is not the decal
itself but rather the inks on your printer that are not designed
for this purpose
