WATERSLIDE CLEAR: Printed on clear film and needs to be placed on a white background since the ink is translucent. Not contour cut, you trim around the image with scissors. Soak in water and slide the backing away. Instructions will be included. WATERSLIDE WHITE: needs to be trimmed around the image exact to remove the white background (not great for images with a lot of detail but can be used on dark cups) Good for solid shaped images such as a square, rectangle or circle. This can be used with detailed images with the white showing through on a white surface. Instructions included.
