  • Best Digital Print Media for Construction Stickers

    Posted by Craig Clark on 3 December 2012 at 18:59

    Hello All,
    This is my second post, not heard from anyone regarding my first so am unsure if I’m posting correctly?
    Could anyone offer advice on printing construction site stickers and signs, what is the best adhesive vinyl to print on to?
    We will be using an SP300i and are so many different options out there. Would rather gain some advise before spending loads on experimenting or having the customer return unhappy in the future.
    Just to add, the stickers only need to last outside for 2-3 years as most of the sites would have completed within this time.
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thank you 😀

    just had a look at your posts mate,

    first post 7 replies
    second post 4 repies
    third post 2 replies so far.

    most digital media will be more than enough for this type of signage.
    but if you want a true 2-3 year life i would suggest laminating the prints.
    there are many variable to getting life from your work.
    1, Ink used
    2, Media used
    3, is it laminated?
    4, what is the vinyl being adhered too?
    i.e. painted wood? it will only last as good as the paintwork its adhered too.

    as i said, most 3-5 year digital media will do the job but dont get hung up on true life durability unless your going to make sure all aspects of production are covered.
