What is Hydrographic Printing?

Hydrographic printing a surface finish technique that can be used on metal, plastic, glass, hard woods, and various other materials. During the process, a patterned hydrographic film in placed on the water surface in a dipping tank. After the film is primed with a chemical activator and dissolved in water, the product is dipped into the water and the pattern is then transferred to the product’s surface. Finally, the product is dried and coated. Hydrographic printing is an efficient and cost-effective way to enhance your product’s visual appeal. It is not only perfect for many hunting and outdoor sporting goods, but also popular for home appliances, automotive parts, electronic accessories and many others.
