The process involves transferring a printed image from a thin, water-soluble carrier film onto a chosen surface. This technique is commonly utilized for adding intricate designs or markings to models, crafts, and various manufactured items. The process relies on the decal’s adhesive bonding with the target surface after the carrier film is removed, leaving the image permanently affixed.
The utilization of this decorative transfer method offers several advantages, including the ability to apply detailed graphics to complex shapes and a relatively low cost compared to direct printing or other decoration methods. Historically, this technique has been employed in fields ranging from ceramics and model building to the customization of electronic devices, providing a versatile solution for surface decoration.
