This matte finish, no-spray formulation water-slide paper is a useful alternative for home and hobbyist use. I test drove it to label little bottles of home made syrup from four maple trees I tapped for the first time this spring. (Hang in here with me, as I have an important tip for you that will make you. much happier with your purchase, at least if you are using an ink jet printer. I didn't test with laser.) Here are my review notes: 1. It was easy to discern the backing side from the working side of the stock when though the backing wasn't marked, as often decal paper backing is. (Really, it should be. It isn't that hard to mark it.) 2. With the very paper-like surface, my inks dried as they were coming out of the printer, just as if I were printing on decent quality printer paper, and brushing a hand across the images didn't cause smearing. 3. When I dropped individual cut-out decals into a shallow bowl of water, they released very quickly, quicker than those that have been sprayed tend to. 4. Decals slid from the backing to the bottle surface easily and were easily adjusted while wet, without stretching or distortion. The paper was quite wet, however, and I did handle the decals gently so they wouldn't stretch or tear, as I know this can be a risk. 5. My bottles had the curve of the circumference, and I didn't challenge the decals much to handle curves beyond that, but when I did slide a decal over the shoulder of a bottle to see how it handled the additional curve, it didn't. Not surprising, but I am managing expectations here. Now for my tip: I did see ink smearing happening when I had to manipulate a decal more than others. So for the last two, I reverted to my old workaround, which worked great, and I strongly advise you adopt this method also: Instead of dipping or submerging each decal in water, soak a paper towel or a cloth in water and spread it flat on a plate. Place each decal backing side down on the wetted item and press down on the decal side to make sure all the backing has contact with the wet surface. (The decals love to curl away from the wet surface.) The water will wick up through the backing, which will release the decal just as quickly as if the whole thing were in water, but the decal itself stays dry, or relatively so anyway. Pick up the decal as soon as you can see or feel it releasing from its backing, position it near where it will "live," and slide the backing out from underneath it while simultaneously gently smoothing the decal into place. Adjust with finger or soft cloth and pat dry around the decal. Advantages to this method are: inks don't smear, the decal is less slippery, and the drying time is much reduced. I have used many different water slide decal formulations over the years, searching for a real replacement for the vintage decals used in homes in the 1940s through 1970s-ish, as I reproduce these (I am not doing much with it anymore but still have a large library of the designs and permission to use them from the original producer). This is, once again, not quite right, as they warn to use the decal as soon as possible after printing, meaning it isn't going to last 60 years in somebody's drawer sonewhere like the old ones, but it is a very satisfactory option for many uses and I think will make a lot of hobbyists very happy when they put it to work!

Mal producto, no funciona como lo describen, no se adhiere, cabe mencionar que se siguieron las indicaciones tal cual se mencionan. Me gustaría no dar ninguna estrella pero la calificación no lo permite, mi recomendación es que no lo compren...

After using probably every white waterslide paper on the market, putting up with the transfers sometimes fading and changing colour. Using endless litres of clear (Expensive) fixing sprays, and so many times the transfers wrinkle up in a twisted mess. I am a professional model maker and have used these paperrs for many years. Then I see this product, Koala no need to spray paper, I don't believe it me thinks!! So I got some and have just used the white backed version on my inkjet printer, wow!!! It is just amazing. The pinted colours are 100% accurate, soak in water no bleed whatso ever. Slide off very smoothly and apply so easily, and with good sliding capabilities its great to move into a correct position. Just the best I have ever used, thank you

The quality of this is really poor. I was hoping that this would save time not having to spray the coating but ended up costing me much more time and money. Once applied, it would peel off when dried and the failure rate is very high (50% plus). I would not recommend this product.
