WamoCamo uses a process called hydrographics to custom decorate our hunting accessories. Hydrographics (also referred to as Immersion or Water Transfer Printing) is the process of applying decorative film to rigid and semi-rigid products including, but not limited to, plastic, wood and metal substrates. Hydrographic finishing provides complete 360° coverage over corners and in the crevasses of the most difficult three dimensional parts. The process typically includes the following 4 steps:
Step 1: Part surface preparation - All foreign material and/or surface oils are removed from the surface of the object.
Step 2: Primer and/or base coat application - The base color will depend upon the film used. For example: a base color of brown will be required to produce a wood grain image and a silver to produce a metal image.
Step 3: Apply the decorative hydrographics film - The film is placed on top of the water in the dipping tank. The film is then sprayed with an activator that is used to dissolve substrate that holds ink. The part is then dipped through the floating, liquefied ink pattern. Water pressure forces the ink image onto the part.
Step 4: Finishing - The part is then inspected and a protective clear coat is applied to it.
