    Do you need coloured or printable vinyl? If printable oracal 5400 is great, really sticky though and hard to remove again. We normally laminate it onto a piece of standard vinyl before applying, costs more at the start but saves a massive amount of grief down the line when it has to come off again

    We use victory also but try and avoid it where possible. Can’t say we do much.

    I haven’t touched any other cut reflective vinyl in years after switching to Oracal’s new range "at that time".
    it is the best quality all rounder i know of. Cuts, weeds, applieds and removes better than any i know of to date!
    This is standard cut vinyl reflective i am speaking about.

    I print direct to a couple of different Oracal reflective purposely made for doing so.
    i forget which series is which but main one i use is the one with the quality emblem watermark on the surface.

    Other "printable" reflectives that are promoted having the ability to conform to vehicles irregular surfaces are both 3M & Arlon. That are relatively new to the market and I haven’t used either to give any real opinion on. But worth considering none the less!

    It was for cut vinyls we have gone with Oracle’s 5400.
    Thank you
