applying printed designs to three dimensional objects.

How is it done??

A film printed with the graphic image is placed on the surface of a vat of water. An activator chemical is sprayed on the film to dissolve it into a liquid. The piece is then lowered into the vat,through the floating ink layer,which wraps around and adheres to it. After removing the piece from the water it is rinsed and dried, then a top coat is placed on the item.
