But, What IS it?:
Heatrans-permaslide (hettrans purmeslid) n.
1.a
permanent, durable, low profile water
transfer with a removable
pre-mask. 2.Sometimes printed in lithography for fine detail or
screen printed for outdoor
durability
Originally produced as an
industrial marking, Perma-slide is now also available as a
consumer applied marking with good tolerance to application
variables and very long shelf life. This is a special
water-slide decal which has a carrier film (pre-mask) that
can be easily removed after the decal has been applied and
dried. It leaves behind a low profile (12microns thick),
highly resolved graphic image. It appears to have been
printed directly on the surface. It is almost impossible to
see it was applied as a decal as there is no telltale
outline, halo, or film evidence around the marking. The
pre-mask allows many small and individual design elements to
be applied at the same time and has replaced ceramic decals
in may cases reducing expensive energy cost to fire a kiln.
It can also be heat cured for added durability on glass,
metal, ceramic and many other surfaces. When properly cured
the marking is more durable than a vinyl label. It is
permanent and safe for dishwasher or outdoor use. It can be
removed, if desired, with a special solvent like acetone |
