Printing
Printing is a process. It reproduces multiple identical copies of text and images on paper. It uses a printing press. This process is typically used for books, magazines, money stamps, maps, posters, or billboards.
Today, there are many temporary tattoos on the market. Some are printed directly onto plastic films. Others are printed directly on paper.
Temporary tattoos are usually printed onto transfer paper. This is a special kind of paper. It has an adhesive coating on one side and a silicone-infused layer.
Tattoo transfers have a release coating on one side. When exposed to moisture, they “slide” off onto the skin. They leave no residue behind on the backing paper.
Select an image or design you love to make your own temporary tattoos. Could you print it out on special decal paper? Set your printer to high-quality mode for maximum clarity and crispness. Choose a glossy photo as your paper option.
Adhesive
Adhesives are chemical compounds. They connect two surfaces. They hold them together securely. Examples include glue, cement, mucilage, or paste.
Adhesives get their name from “adherence,” a Latin word. It means “to stick.” Adhesives bond objects together. They resist separation. They are widely used in making furniture and clothing.
Adhesives can pose health and safety risks if misused. They can bind. Many glues contain toxic substances. These substances should not be exposed.
Always read labels carefully. If anyone in your home has severe reactions to chemicals, consult their physician immediately.
Adhesive tattooing is fun and straightforward. But it’s crucial to understand how the adhesive will interact with your printer and skin. This ensures the design is applied accurately.
