  • Off white printable vinyl – advice/recommendations, please?

    Posted by Dave Roy on 4 November 2015 at 13:42

    Can anybody advise of a polymeric print vinyl which is an off-white/ivory colour.
    Most print vinyls tend to be intense white or blue if they have a grey back.

    I am wrapping a 40ft trailer and am trying to get nearer to the paint colour of the cab

    The option of print on clear is not possible the trailer is a different white

    Any advice would be welcome as I dont fancy printing a pale cream background

    Thanks
    Dave

    Can’t recommend what I would use as suppliers say it’s not for printing on and a big job to go wrong.
    Do you realise the colour of the vinyl will tint or change the colour of the print

    Print on a clear printing laminate, and laminate that onto a coloured vinyl to match the cab. Then laminate again – 3 layers in total.

    Or you might get to wrap the cab as well! More money 😀

    I’d just put the cream vinyl through the printer and laminate it…same result eh.

    Yes but you cant really trust ordinary vinyl not to have fingermarks all over it, even if you buy a full roll.
