So what exactly is the difference between white and clear waterslide decal paper?
White waterslide paper is printed on a white background, whereas clear waterslide paper prints the decal on a clear background, meaning the background will blend in with the printed ink.

The process is the exact same for both white and clear waterslide paper however the application is different. Clear waterslide paper works best for white or light colored items.
White waterslide paper will show more brilliantly on all darker or non-white surfaces.
However, with white waterslide paper you must be mindful that the white background will show very noticeably if not trimmed properly to the edge.
If waterslide decal paper is not your forte we recommend you look into printable vinyl and printable sticker paper.
Clear waterslide is very popular for its transparent background which makes it more visually appealing on white items, however it could also be used on darker backgrounds to give a faded look to add an extra layer of depth to your artistic design. If you plan on putting a waterslide decal on a custom tumbler you MUST seal it with a clear casting resin. Alumilite clear casting resin was used to seal this custom waterslide tumbler.
White waterslide paper is more versatile on the color spectrum however, and it is often used to create a vibrant decal that really catches your eye.
Clear waterslide has a beautiful low profile, however it is limited to being placed on white or very light backgrounds in order for the image to show up.
Both are an excellent addition to any serious crafters stockpile- you never know what idea will pop into your head next so it is best to be prepared to create!
