Killer job UB!! I've also had awesome success with the water decal paper. Bloody amazing what we can do at home for such low outlay these days on one off jobs.

Very impressive UB.
Please talk us through the process.
What is the paper ...... where do you get it from? Which printers are best, which one have you? I heard you have to coat it to make the print waterproof?

Hi,
Thank you.
Here is the product:
You can buy it on ebay at a good price : 20 Incals, INKJET White Waterslide Decal Papers $14
Clear, white, laser or inkjet, it depends on what you have to do with it and what printer you have. I work with an inkjet Canon IP1800.
Laser printers are better because the black is blackest. With inkjet on clear paper you have to use two decals to get a deep black. Laser doesn't need clear coating.
With the inkjet paper, first you print; when it's dried, you have to clear coat. A thin layer is cool but you can easily destroy the decal, a thick layer takes longer but is stronger....
Let it dry for two or more hours and it's done.
What do you want to reproduce?
This?
Or something you need to restore your allwin game?
Thank you.

Re: Waterslide decal paper for laser or inkjet printers
Thanks for that, it's been very helpful.
Ultimately I'd like to do ............
Once I've sourced some linen paper.
However in the meantime I love the idea of reproducing Manufacturers' badges.

Great idea.....
I've seen a guy fixing the scratches on an old pinball's backglass. It can be used to repair allwin games' backboxes or instruction cards.

Keen Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray is sold for this purpose, but any clear acrylic spray will work.

Re: Waterslide decal paper for laser or inkjet printers
First; print in reverse on clear waterslide decal.
Put the first layer on the payout glass.
Let it dry for 12 hours.
Add the second layer.
Let it dry for 12 hours.
Spray paint with mat white.
Done!
Payout is different because of the coinage.
