  • Solvent Ink Printable Paper with Backing for Cutting -Exist?

    Posted by John Cooper on 8 December 2012 at 16:20

    We’ve been having a bit of fun with our BN-20 printing pesonalised beer & wine bottles labels for gifts.

    I did a few labels for friends in work, stuck them to a bottle and they became a bit of a hit!!! The only thing that lets them down is the glossy vinyl I used to print and cut.

    Just wondering if there’s a more suitable product than glossy vinyl? Maybe a an adhesive paper with backing that can be cut in the same way.

    The BN-20 takes media in various widths up to 20".

    Any tips appreciated.

    Not a user of solvent print machines myself John but what about a matt vinyl rather than gloss if nothing more suitable is available. Always think matt looks a bit more classy than gloss personally.

    Not sure if sihl do a 170gsm adhesive backed, but fairly sure I seen it, although maybe not 20" but i’m sure they’ll slit it.

    Thanks guys

    Matt vinyl is certainly an option but if a paper exists, I’d prefer it.

    As I said, it’s just for fun. 😀

    Avery, do A4 and A3 self adhesive paper labels, in boxes, staples or somewhere similar, for short runs, would seem a decent fix for your bottle labels.

    Image Perfect do an adhesive backed paper, IP 2410, and Spandex should cut to width for you…
