Waterslide Graphics

[Timko]

No worries!  I figured out a printer setting that worked and order 20 more sheets of waterslide.  I think I can do this correctly, it's just going to take patience.  Hopefully there will be a thread soon showing off the enclosure with the artwork on it!

Datapol is this stuff here:

It's basically car sticker stuff, chemical/weather/everything proof, takes clearcoat like a champ, every build I've done in the last ~3 years has been done with it.  I drill out my enclosures, cut a small corner of the backing off, hold the sticker against the enclosure up to the light so I can line the holes up to the labels, press that corner down, and then remove the backing while rubbing down the sticker.  It's taken a bit of practice to get good at it, but it's the best method I've found so far.

Have a look for my builds in the build report, namely Hellboy, Megatron, Space Station, and Reactor for the largest, mist detailed graphics.
