What Is Hydrographics?

Hydrographics, also known as Water Transfer Printing or Immersion Printing, is a surface customization technology that uses a specialized film to apply a new finish to an existing part or product. We use a hydro tank and a graphic film to decorate a wide variety of items in a number of colors and graphics. With over a thousand options available, the possibilities are endless.

Industries That We Service

Automotive

Show cars, restoration projects, and daily drivers can all benefit from the upgrade and customization of our hydrographics process. With hundreds of colors and films available we can do anything from a simple carbon fiber to a color matched camouflage.

Aviation

Hydrographics is the perfect choice for customizing an aircraft. With nearly an unlimited selection of colors and patterns, almost all pieces of a cabins interior can be easily customized. The application is light weight and meets all standards required by the FAA.

Marine

Wooden parts were replaced with plastic to better withstand the moisture and salt that comes with marine products. From a elegant wood finish to the sporty carbon fiber, we can finish commercial yachts to your personal ski boat and everything in between.

Outdoors/Firearms

Whether you need camouflaged hunting gear or visually appealing outdoor equipment, our hydrographic process can provide exactly what you’re looking for. Hydrographics can be done to virtually any recreational equipment from bows and knives to paintball guns and more.

Sporting Goods

A wide variety of sporting equipment and helmets can be decorated using our hydrographic process. Stand out as a team with custom helmets, clubs, and more done in any design you can imagine. Our finish is strong enough to stand up to the on-field wear and tear the products will take.

Highest Quality Finishes

Our films, paint, and finishes come from only the most reputable commercial providers. With an automotive size paint booth, high grade paint sprayers and multiple large dipping tanks we ensure a high quality finish.

How is it done?

PREPARATION

The process begins with the item being prepped for refinishing, this includes sanding, priming and painting any colors that will go under the film. We use only the highest quality DuPont products and DuPont’s paint mixing computer to ensure the finish is perfect.

APPLICATION

A polyvinyl film printed with the graphic is set to float in the dipping tub. An activator chemical is sprayed on the film to dissolve it into the water and activate the bonding agent. The item is then lowered into the tub through the floating ink layer, which adheres to it.

FINISH

After removing the item from the water, a high-gloss, semi-gloss or matte clear coat is added to finish the product and offer protection for the decorative layers. After multiple dippings, immersion printing can achieve full 360° coverage of the items surface.
