Note: This decal paper is ready to use out of the package. It is a water-slide transfer paper that is pre-coated with a state of the art clear decal material that is soft yet strong.

This media is specially made for Thermal Wax color printers such as ALPS printers. Many of our customers have reported success using this media in office copiers and some laser printers. Please see the precautions at the end of this page or in the header of this page about using this or any specialty media in your laser printer.

Use this decal paper to place images on: wood, glass, metal, ceramic/porcelain, CD's, even the mouse you have in your hand as you read this. And that's just the beginning. Our customers are constantly surprising us with the creative uses they come up with for our decal paper. Such as adding photos or artwork to wax candles. 

We recently received an e-mail from a customer who places custom wedding photos and artwork onto large pillar candles. She let us know that our decal paper has helped to move her small business in a new and more profitable direction.

Another customer let us know he has been using our decal paper to transfer images of cartoon characters onto custom built wooden furniture for children.

The possibilities are endless. Let our paper and your imagination work together to create a new and exciting product or idea.

This paper is NOT compatible with ink jet printers. For water-slide decal paper for inkjet printers take a look at our IAS or WIAS paper.

*This paper may be used in most late model personal office copiers and laser printers.   However, we do not recommend that.  If you are looking  for Decal paper to use in laser printers and copiers, we recommend our Papilio Perga Flat Paper or for newer, higher heat, color laser printers we recommend our PAS/Z media.

Using Papilio Aqua Slide Paper

Ceramic Plates: Our PAS media is NOT intended for firing. Ceramic plates decorated with PAS decals make beautiful wall hangings but are not suitable for food bearing.

Porcelain/Ceramic Mugs: PAS decals look great on ceramic mugs. It is important to note however that mugs decorated with PAS decals should be washed carefully with a non abrasive soap and are not dishwasher safe.

Wax Candles:  Applying decals to wax candles is easy. Simply apply the decal to the candle as you would to any other substrate. Heating the decal with a hair dryer may help if adhesion is an issue due to the wax of the candle.

Wood and General Applications: We recommend that you only apply decals to finished or painted wood. The process is the same with metal and all other painted substrates.

You can experiment with placing a decal on an item before the paint is fully dry if using an oil enamel based paint. When the paint is dry to the touch, but not fully cured apply the decal then your clear coat if desired. The water used to apply the decal should not harm the oil enamel paint. Oil enamel usually takes 24 hours to fully dry, we suggest applying the decal after 8 hours, but this can vary greatly depending on humidity, temperature, and other factors. Use this technique to finish your items with very durable decals.

If you don't put the decal face down, your Alps ink will not be protected and when finishing with clear coat you will run into compatibility problems, as the Alps ink will not accept just any solvent-based clear coat.
