Hydrographic Process
There are 2 types of water transfer printing processes: pre-activation (activating first) and post-activation (activating later). The main difference is the order of activating and film laying; besides, activator can be sprayed or coated in the pre-activation process but it is mainly sprayed in the post-activation process. IFFA's automatic dipping systems and manual dipping tanks are applicable in both of the processes. IFFA's hydrographic film works perfectly in both of the processes.
