Solid Colour Vinyl Suitable for Printing
Does anyone use normal vinyl for printing?
I’m trying to find a yellow vinyl I can print black ink on for a custom job. Would save me a lot of ink in yellow if I could just print the black.
Anyone tried this?
Cheers

Hi Jason – we regularly print on to Oracal 751 – particularly the metallic silver and gold – with ecosol…. crank up the drying heat 5 degrees or so.
Have used others (Mactac, Avery and 3M) and all work OK – some take a wee bit longer to dry.

Cheers Mark.
I’ve just been reading a brand called Multifix is compatible with Ecosol max inks. Might have to give that a go.

We have used Metamark series 7 with no problems.

i have tried many times to print ecosolmax to 751c and no good at all. yes it puts ink on the vinyl but no quality.

image perfect 5700 spandex all print very well used all the time. one of the yellows line up with the process yellow so allows you to mix and match when doing different stuff for the same job

Jason, I print to Oracal 551 and 3M series 50 sunflower/Melon all the time.
Prints the same as using oracal 3551, and you can even use the same laminate.
cast is not as successful, but cal works a treat

We have recently printed onto yellow & white Multifix, works very well. We did dark blue onto the yellow, full colour onto white.

Just to give you guys a heads up.
The multifix printed fine. Only issue was that the adhesive was terrible. Tried sticking it to our bin and it didn’t tack too well. For this job they are getting stuck to 40 foot containers so the adhesive side of things have to be up to scratch so we have to fully print it.

quote JamieX:Tried sticking it to our bin and it didn’t tack too well. .
A metal bin or a plastic bin?
I wouldn’t expect it to stick to a plastic bin because its such a low tension surface, but I used multifix the other day, and it stuck rather well, so I’m surprised. Perhaps the ink may have softened the glue?

Our metal 2 meter bin. It was thin like glad wrap. Client has used multifix from a previous signage supplier but didnt like the adhesive.
Must be on just this yellow stuff we can print directly on.
