Rub-on Transfers

A rub-on transfer is an imprint of an image, text, logo, or directional figures on a translucent sheet. The back of the design has a layer of adhesive. It allows you to transfer the visual from the translucent sheet to another surface. To do this, apply light pressure by rubbing on the surface of the transfer.

You can use this technique on most surfaces as long as they’re free of dust, grease, and oil. The dry transfer can adapt to any type of support, whether it’s smooth, curved, or grained. You must apply it on a clean and dry surface that has been well cleaned with a little rubbing alcohol. It has excellent resistance to:

  • Heat
  • Abrasion
  • Weather
  • Humidity
  • Light
  • Solvents
  • Oils
  • Water
  • Hydrocarbons
  • Chemical products
  • Detergents

At Cliff Digital, the transferred design looks like it was printed directly on the object.

How do Dry Rub-on Transfers Work?

Rub-on transfers are also called “dry.” This is because they don’t need liquids for their application. This is how it differs from water-based decals or heat transfers.

The dry decal is usually printed on the top in a mirror effect. This is to respect the original meaning of the texts and numbers. It’s a method of painting portraits and landscapes on colored inkjet paper.

Think of dry rub transfers as mini banners that come in many sizes. But the overall effect is that unlike a big banner, the end result looks professionally painted on.

This method uses sublimation ink. The paper is then heated to a certain temperature. It’s done with the help of transfer printing equipment. The latter allows the image of the paper to be well printed on objects. You can apply these transfers to various materials and surfaces such as:

  • Plastic
  • Wood
  • Glass
  • Metal
  • Wall panels
  • Clothes
  • Furniture

Benefits of Rub-on Transfers

Dry transfer decals have many advantages over other adhesion techniques. Air bubbles are one of the first things to point out. Compared to self-adhesive decals, rub-on transfer decals don’t trap air.

There’s no need to smooth them out to get a better look. It’s already flawless when you lay it down. They’re evenly spread out and totally flat. They simply need to be firmly fixed in place with a burnishing tool.

This advantage is even more important for smaller letters and more specific items. Its precise application is unmatched. Dry transfers have a semi-permanent nature when applied. To make them more durable, you can paint a varnish topcoat over it.

The Qualities to Look for in a Dry Rub Transfer

A rub-on transfer shouldn’t be transparent but rather opaque. This is because it allows you to apply it to any color surface. It doesn’t change the color of the design itself. With a transparent yellow transfer applied to a black surface, the bottom surface is visible through the transfer. The yellow image of the friction transfer then becomes almost black.

The greatest quality of this method is the lack of a white or transparent border around the image. The resolution of the image or text is of the highest quality, which guarantees a perfect finish. Unlike a label, this is a transfer where only the image is applied. So you don’t have to cut or adjust your design. You can apply it directly to the surface of your choice.

At Cliff Digital, custom dry transfers meet all these criteria. They also offer many other features. These help to produce quality transfers for your specific needs and projects. The visual appears so natural that it looks like it’s printed directly on the surface.

Dry Transfers Display Your Design Without a Single Back-Mark

The only thing that goes on your substrate when applying a dry transfer decal is the lettering or visual element you choose to apply. Nothing else. Edges are perfectly clean and precise. Proportions are respected. No stretching or bubbles are created during the application.

Its final finished look is achieved as soon as the dry transfer is applied. Self-adhesive decals often need partial trimming. You’ll get exactly the look you want. The lettering or image transfer will be ready to be applied without any extra steps.
