Hi there, According to google maasbank was a sister ship to banckert. You could try giving the transfer sheet a light misting of varnish to stabilise the transfers. But don't put too much on or they will stiffen up.Cheers chipmonk

Looks to me like it's and adhesive sticker sheet rather than a water slide.
Try cut out the  TR2 to examine
