can i use two different types of vinyl for layering?
Hi,
Some time ago I read that it is best to do vinyl layering with two colours of the same serie.
If I have a black background applied to a car with Avery 900 and I want to place a white text on it, do I need to use 900 White or cant I put a text in for example Oracal on it?JJ

i would say yes….
where i would questin multiple layers is using say a cheap calendar vinyl as a base, then multiples of cast on top. regardless to anything the application is really only as good as the base layer. having said that, you could use a cast red vinyl as a base and a cheap orange on top. the orange of course is going to fade/warp far sooner than the baselayer.
i guess there could be many scenarios when i start thinking about it… 🙄 -
many, many scenarios – i use vinyl in the events industry (loads of company logo’s) and they don’t care how much it costs as long as it matches their corporate guidelines & the colour is correct for job in hand. I mean that you can have a logo on a exhibition stand where the punter/client is 5ft away and the colours need to be SPOT ON. Where as if your doing an aerial display or something similiar you can have a bit of artistic licence (using different grades of vinyls) because the eye cannot recognise accurate true colour at distance. I use some really expensive vinyl’s for a 2 day show & cheap materials when needed. IF you can get in with the bluechip company’s on exhibitions etc you will find exactly the same. As long as their company profile is being projected (with your help) in the right direction cost should be no issue.
Sorry if i’ve gone off on a tangent, blame Mr Kronenbourg 1664!
