  Printable Chrome Vinyl

  Posted by Jason Middleton on 14 July 2013 at 22:42

  I use Metamark for pretty much all my vinyl but their printable metallic range is mega expensive, I wondered if anybody could recommend any lower cost alternatives. This will be used for stickers only.

  thanks in advance

  chris don’t you find a lot of shrinkage with this product no matter how big a gap you leave between print and cut edge.

  the gold does not shrink anyway near as much.

  have gone back to clear laminating oracle silver very thin then printing and laminating again.

  it shrinks and not tried the gold. Only use for labels so not too much of a worry.
  What thin lam are you using for the silver?
