What is Hydrographics
Hydrographics or HydroGraphics, also known as immersion printing, camo dipping, hydro imaging, water transfer printing, water transfer imaging, cubic printing, or hydro dipping, is a method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional objects. The hydrographic process can be used on metal, plastic, glass, hard woods, and various other materials. In the process, the pieces to be printed are pre-treated and a base coat material is applied. A film printed with your selected graphic image to be transferred is then floated on the surface of a vat of water. An activator chemical is sprayed on the film to dissolve it into a liquid and activate a bonding agent. The piece is then lowered into the vat, through the floating ink layer, which wraps around and adheres to it. After removing the piece from the water, a top coat is applied to protect the design. With multiple dips, hydrographics printing can achieve full 360° coverage of the part surface.
