An applique of words, graphics,or a combination of the two, screen-printed on the nonadhesive side of vinyl film, then cut to a specified shape using a plotter or die. Decals are often created when a large number of identical pieces are required.

a design fixed to some surface or a paper bearing the design to be transferred to the surface

the art of transfering designs from specially prepared paper to a wood or glass or metal surface

a type of lettering material in which the letters and numbers are printed on special paper, then coated with varnish. The lettering is applied to the model by soaking the decal in water to dissolve the film between the ink and the paper and then placing the layout of varnish and ink on the model.

Issued by the Board to registered tire haulers, printed on specially prepared paper with a unique number, for affixing to the lower right hand corner of the windshield.

A lithograph applied to ceramic or other material then fired.

A screen printed waterslide transfer.

A method of printing designs using ceramic inks onto specially prepared paper (a glue, then a base coat of clear material is applied followed by the inks). The design on the clear material is then transferred to glass or ceramic. To apply the decal you put it in water for a minute or so to loosen the glue enough to slide the clear decal onto the ceramic surface (slightly porous paper is used so that water can soak through it). Decal ware must be fired to precise temperatures to develop and mature the color properly. There are many mistakes to be made in application and firing that will compromise the quality of the final product.

A decoration applied to ceramic dinnerware prior to being fired.

Text and/or graphics printed on a film substrate with an adhesive backing and then cut to a specified shape and size. Similar to a label; labels are printed on adhesive backed paper, where as decals are printed on an adhesive backed film. Decal is commonly used as a generic term for Labels, Nameplates, Overlays, Legend Plates, and Tags, as well as Decals.

Also called transfers. A specialized paper for transferring design to surfaces such as glass by a process of decalcomania. Sometimes it is baked onto a surface

pressure sensitive label printed with appropriate numbering, letters or symbols for identification purposes

Derived from the French term for “remove” or “unglue”, most usually employed to describe printed patterns or images which are to be placed on furniture, fabrics or china - the term is a common synonym for “transfer-printing.

A picture or design transferred to a finished glaze and fired.

A graphic software representation of a component, so named because hand tape-up of printed circuit boards employed the use of pull-off and paste decals to represent components. Also called a part, footprint or package. On a manufactured board the body of a footprint is an epoxy-ink outline.

This is an image, usually multicoloured, printed using a copper plate on tissue paper. The images are then soaked to remove them from a backing sheet and to transfer them to the ceramics, before the glazing process. This process is more commonly known as transfer printing.

A windshield sticker permit for liquefied gas.

The adhesive illustration attached to a lunch box or bottle.

Small graphics, long or short-term, printed on adhesive-coated vinyls or transfer materials.

A transfer print applied onto glaze-fired objects and fired at low-temperature.

a texture that can be placed on top of another texture, combining the two

A method of calculating color values during texture application, where the texture colors replace the fragment colors or, if alpha blending is enabled, the texture colors are blended with the fragment colors, using only the alpha value.

A texture-mapping technique similar to model decals: wherever the texture map is Color Zero, the texture is invisible. All other colors are applied to the polygons. This allows the easy application of lettering to a rocket, billboard, et cetera.

A texture that is placed specifically on one part of a 3D object.

a special painting, usually 256 greyscale, that can be added to a textured brush to give signage to the brush or variety to the texture tiling. Custom decals to be added to the map should be placed with Wally in the decals.wad file, which in turn should be -wadincuded during CSG into the .bsp file.
