Printable Reflective Textile Vinyl – recommendations please?

Oracal do some, Oralite 5200, Oracal 5400 and Oracal 5600.

Apologies, just noticed the ‘textile’ part of your post.

I did the same Jon, and almost posted the same reply! :lol1:

Seems it’s a rare product 🙂

I use Oralite 5200 – get it from APS and works well. The same for textile would be great.

Dorotape do a Silva-Lite Pro Reflective Flex and I have some on order – not printable unfortunately.

Thanks for the replies 🙂

May be worth speaking to The Magic Touch. Although not specifically for printing they have a large range of refletive textile films and are always very helpful about trying something new. Not sure what you will be printing with but we have found full solvents will print onto most substrates with a bit of fiddling with speeds and temps.

Thanks Colin,

I’ve looked at THT but nothing jumped out at me. I’ll give them a call.

The flex reflective from Dorotape is specifically for heat pressing to textiles – perhaps I should try and print some and see 🙂 I’m a little doubtful.

We do various stuff for the police and they often ask for stuff out of the ordinary!
