Give them a few years.
They have to make their money now, and then they'll make money later selling you special equipment and have further renewable income through selling specialized consumable supplies. Guaranteed.

Sure would be cool, but I'd never be able to find anything in my house. :D

ACTUALLY THERE IS. www.decalpaper.co.uk/index.html
THE PROBLEM IS. TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT TAKES SOME PRACTICE. YOU BUY THERE WATER TRANSFER PAPER FOR YOUR PRINTER. THEN YOU DOWN LOAD A PICTURE, PATTERN OR WHAT EVER. THEN SIZE IT TO THE PRINTER PAPER. THEN JUST PRINT. THE NEXT THING IS THAT I FOUND IS THAT ITS NOT MEANT FOR OUT DOOR CONDITIONS. YOU'LL HAVE TO SPRAY A LITE COAT OF CLEAR ENAMEL TO HOLD THE PATTERN TO WHAT YOUR TRANSFERING TOO. OR IF ITS TO MUCH OF A PAIN LIKE I FOUND OUT . JUST SEND YOUR ITEMS TO. www.xfinishes.com .
THEY DO REAL WATER TRANSFER . FOR GUNS BOWS ECT.........

Most dippers will do smaller items for less that $100........

The problem with me is that I usually botch up things just because I'm too much of a macho man to read directions. I wouldn't mind messing up the project, I would hate to waste the 100 dollars on the product. I'd rather take it to some one and have it done right.

with the size sheet you get you can do multiple objects.plus you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself . But if your all thumbs , impatient, and usually make a mess of things then don't work on your bow bring it somewhere to have work done on it

It's not really that simple, which means that it might be a better option for you to just have it done by pros. There are actually lots of companies out there that do that, such as Rain Dance. Hope this helps!

We are a water transfer company nestled in the Rocky Mountains. We have state of the art water transfer printing equipment, also known as Camo dipping, hydro graphics, aqua graphics, hydro imaging, hydro printing, just to name a few of the generic names. We have the capability to do small or large jobs in some of the most popular patterns like camouflage, wood grains, carbon fibers, and other popular patterns.

You might ask what is Water Transfer Printing? Water transfer printing is used on everything from boats to cars to guns. It is a durable to print on these surfaces a variety of patterns. This method of printing is more durable then paint and decals. It is made to survive in long conditions of direct exposure. Metals, glass, and plastics are the most common thing to be printed because they are durable materials themselves, wood can warp and splinter so it is only used on hard woods. The main goal of water transfer printing is to put a lasting finish, generally a pattern, on an item that will be strenuous wearing conditions.

Camo Dipping
 
I found one on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...STRK:MESELX:IT and bought it. It cost $99 plus shipping which was a little steep but I got enough film to dip my handgun and several of my game calls with more film left over. I think if I sent all of them out it would cost a bit more. Very pleased with the results.

Do you want realistic camo or just old fashioned camo? color swirl camo is really easy to do yourself and doesn't take long at all. Just look up guitar dipping on youtube, I know bowfishers who do the same technique for their bows. No matter what method you use it's probably a good idea to put on a few layers of clear coat to extend the life of the paint job.
