Simply put, hydro-dipping is the transfer of a design onto a solid object by placing a medium on water and dipping the object through that medium. While some people do use spray paint to accomplish a random design on objects, the results from doing this are unpredictable. Here, we will focus on transferring a pre-printed design onto your objects through use of hydrographic film. This results in consistent, expected and reproduceable results. For those who want their own unique design, we can create a custom hydrographic film from your images!
