Hydrographics or HydroGraphics, also known as immersion printing,
water transfer printing, water transfer imaging, hydro printing, camo
dipping, or hydro-dip printing,
A polyvinyl alcohol film is gravure-printed with the graphic image to
be transferred, and 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 dippings,
hydrographics printing can achieve full 360° coverage of the part
surface, including small crevices.
