Waterslide Information
This page is currently being updated
- Our waterslide decals can be used with most decal solutions such as Micro Set, Micro Sol, DecalFix & other adhesives and softeners
- Samples of our full-colour and metallic waterslide decals can be ordered for a nominal fee to cover production and postage costs. Click here to order a sample.
- Our printers are capable of producing up to 600dpi print resolution, so please strive to achieve this if create artwork yourself.
- Files can be submitted as RGB/PNG with transparent background or vector files can also be submitted but please ensure all text and elements like outlines are all converted to curves/exploded before saving.
- Our white under printed decals are perfect for use on coloured and dark surfaces. They don't have 100% opacity, so if you're working with multi-coloured substrates (like camouflage) then you might want to order two sheets and request that we provide one sheet of white only so you can layered this down first under the colour layer. This increases the amount of white and makes them fully opaque.
- Colours are printed using a combination of Cyan, Magenta & Yellow (CMY). Black is a composite black consisting of (C100%,M100%,Y100%).
- Laser printers have a limited colour gamut compared to inkjet as they can't be mixed as a fluid. Toner in laser printers create in-between colours using a dot half-toning pattern. For lighter colours this is more noticeable and less so for darker colours. Pure values of C, M or Y don't use half-toning at all.
- If you are less fussy about the colour accuracy and prefer a higher resolution/sharper print without the halftoning, we can also print without halftoning so please contact us to discuss this if required.

Let customers speak for us
I have now had a chance to use some of my items and the quality of the film substrate is far superior to the commercial waterslide transfers I have used on model kits. It is tough and easy to handle.
Terrific quality. I was concerned about definition but the smallest detail was faithfully reproduced. Have used IJ printed decals before for my scale models and was disappointed, but as these metallics were impossible for inkjet I tried third party production and they are definitely well worth it.
I make guitars. I wanted a custom decal for the headstock of a new bass. I designed the image and sent the jpeg to Phoxy and almost by return of post the decal arrived. It fits perfectly and was very easy to apply. A couple of coats of clear lacquer sealed it well. Perfect. Thanks so much for you help
Designed a lot of Space Marine shoulder pad iconography for my custom chapter. Sent the sheet to phoxy they came out superbly. Really easy to apply as they slipped off the sheet really quickly. They took Microsset and Microsol well and smoothed over the curved and rounded contours of shoulder pads superbly. Genuine joy to apply. Will be using again, cheers.

Custom Waterslide Decals - Full Colour Digital Laser Printed Transfers - Ready-To-Apply
Had some transfers printed for warhammer models, so really quite small graphics on some of them. They came out perfectly so I'm currently putting together another sheet to have printed!
Top quality and provided multiple decals on A4 sheet. Applied perfectly and will definitely use again. 3 day delivery service is an added bonus
Really pleased with my custom Peregrine Talons transfer sheet. The Chapter insignia has been reproduced exactly as I envisioned it, with sharp detail, clean colours and a great range of sizes for different models and armour panels.
I haven’t applied the transfers yet, but the quality of the print looks excellent and I’m looking forward to seeing them bring my homebrew Chapter to life on the tabletop.
I have had a few sets of decals from Phoxy Design now. I use them for model F1 cars liveries. They have all been excellent quality and a prompt service as well.
Wish I knew about these guys ages ago. Love what I got back. They came back really quickly too.
This was the first time I have ordered custom decals for my model restorations and the quality is superb. However the biggest surprise was just how fast they arrived - on two occasions. I will be using Phoxy Design & Print again.
I had an A5 sheet of full colour decals made. Phill goes above and beyond to make sure people are happy with the results.
I have used the waterslide transfers for a couple of projects now and the quality and speed of delivery are excellent. I have generated my designs on an iPad and exported them for direct upload to the Phoxy site, and there have been no issues at all with the delivered print quality or colours. The transfers were successfully applied to painted wooden surfaces and then varnished. Highly recommended and will continue to use them!
I've had some custom RAF F-4 phantom decals rescaled and printed by Phill and they were beautifully printed on 2 huge sheets. As a modeller it's fantastic to be able to have someone that can design and print any decal that are not readily available to create any Specific subject you wish.
Thanks Phill.
