  • Removing lead from vinyl – help please?

    Posted by Chris Wool on March 31, 2015 at 7:29 pm

    so i am told all lead is to be removed from vinyl image perfect 5700 and all others ??
    the problem is the new vinyls are changing colour slightly and are less opaque put yellow on to black paint it goes a shade of gold
    all lighter shades of all colours are now next to useless if going on to dark paint etc.

    so will have to change make what does the team think.

    Hi Chris,

    Noticed this change in calendered vinyl over the last few years too.

    Try the Avery 777 vinyl – it is quite opaque on the lighter colours.
