    Water transfer printing?

    Has anyone here had any water transfer printing done? Also known as hydro graphics.
    Im currently doing a K100 custom bike build and I seriously looking at using some. They have some pretty cool stuff they can do with this method.
    Here is one design

    I cant find anyone close to me in Wellington that does this work & the nearest place seems to be New Plymouth or Hastings.
    Would like to know if anyone has had any work done by the local NZ companies and if they are happy with the work and the finished product etc.
    May the road rise up to meet you.

    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    No, but I have done some myself. Bought the print paper here over Trademe (A4) and printed using inkjet to create some decals I mounted onto my previous bike. Worked well. Sprayed with rattle can clear afterwards.

    there is a shop in Tauranga that I've been eyeing up for a bike project that does this, could be worth investigating further....
    I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass

    Yep and one in New Plymouth as well.
    Will give them a call and see what comes of that.
    Pity I cant find someone in Wellington or close to that I could deal with.
