The Water Transfer Printing / Hydrographic Dipping Process and How It Works
About the Process of Water Transfer Printing & Hydrographic Dipping
Hydrographic Printing, and Hydro Carbon Fiber, is more commonly known as Water Transfer Printing by industry-insiders. All in all, Hydrographics is a process of applying a new finish to an existing part or product, using a hydro tank to place a graphic film over your piece. There are currently hundreds of different patterns to choose from including: camouflage, wood, carbon fiber, metal, stone, or designer patterns; as well as any color combination possible.
The process starts with preparing your piece for the refinishing. Next, a polyvinyl film containing the pattern is floated on top of a vat of water. The water acts as the medium to transfer your print into the form of your part or product. Upon placement of the film in the water, an activator is then applied to release the print overlay from the polyvinyl backing. We then “dip” your part into the print, transferring the pattern to your piece. Final stages include an automotive clear coat finish, depending on the design and required durability of the final product.
The beauty of this process is that we can take your existing parts, whether old and used or brand new, and apply a new high quality overlay, providing increased value and a new custom, attractive appearance. The Durability & Strength of our Hydro Dipped products
