    i haven’t tried the grafityp stuff. is it an actual digital photo-luminescent vinyl steve or is it just good to print onto?

    i have some of the new oracal photoluminescent vinyl, havent tried anything with it as yet, but its a nice whiter type thin film. as opposed to some of the gummy thick stuff we used to get in. so interested to hear grafityp has a good one too.

    Ive used the grafityp stuff, it prints OK don’t expect to print any
    high res images on it, its very yellow in daylight and it has a quite aggressive
    glue, it contour cuts ok with the right pressure

    wouldn’t like to do a full wrap in it though

    Not sure if it is specially for printing but it does print well. It is thick stuff and stiff if cold, the time it held a charge was about 20 mins. Its a light yellow colour till its charged then glows green and quite bright.

    Hi John

    Try Kemco they stock sheet and roll material (think they may have a tie in with Dorotape but not 100% on that.

    Hi John,

    Don’t know who you spoke to but the codes you need are FG600 or FG1200 and you can buy as little as 1mtr.

    I’ve printed on the Kemco stuff. It took the ink well, dried ok and the light output seems to last quite well, but as has already been said it does have a greeny-yellow tint. And it’s quite thick. Customer was happy though and it sticks like the proverbial.
