    Hi

    Is it worth using RIPC Generic Vinyl 1 profile? And what does this exactly do?

    And I have come to the conclusion that the stickers that I am making feel very thin and a bit cheap. Its Graphityp SO52 and is 75 microns thick. And the better the quality vinyl such as cast just becomes even thinner!

    I have heard of people recommending 150 micro vinyl for stickers and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about this and also where i could purchase thicker vinyl?

    Thanks for everyones help over the last couple of weeks

    The the thinner the vinyl the better it is.

    In this case the thicker… Isn’t the better. Jmo

    Yes I understand that the thinner the better normally. All of our vinyl is cast and is only 50 microns thick and has a life span of 12 years

    However for stickers that only need a limited lifespan using cast as far as the customers are concerned they feel thin and cheap.

    I have found AllPrint do a 150 micron vinyl and have been advised on this forum that my customers will love it

    🙂
