large interior mural
Hi
I have a number of murals to do for a restaurant. They are to be digitally printed and applied to a new, flat, painted surface, and they wont see direct sunlight.I was planning to use ORACAL 3551 for this job.
HOWEVER in a distracted moment I loaded 3164 and printed off eight meters of 1370mm vinyl before realising my mistake. This is one complete mural.The print looks fantastic and I would hate to have to waste it.
Does anyone think I should use it, or should I chuck it and start again with the good stuff? What exactly does 4 years life expectancy mean in this case?
The murals will be laminated for protection. Am I throwing good money after bad?

Outdoor Durability
under vertical outdoor exposure: 4 yearsI wouldn’t sweat it.
I’ve done stuff on calendared aver 3000 on corflute about 18 months ago and they haven’t started shrinking back yet.
Maybe if they were near heat then I might be worried otherwise laminate and apply them I say.

Hi Simon, I use both 3551/215 and 3164/215 materials.
I doubt you’ll have an issue at all.
Both products are at the quality end of the spectrum, and laminated with no sunlight, I reckon they’ll be a no problem at all.
I get fantastic results from both products too, and although I limit my 3164 to temporary work, I’ve seen it in pretty harsh situations for several years with limited problem.
In a restaurant environment I’d probably use Oracal tedlar anti graffitti laminate tho. …. unless you guys aren’t as rowdy as us aussies…..
…. then again, I just realized you are from New Zealand… say no more :lol1: :lol1:
