What Vinyl / Media to Use?
Hi All,
Not specifically sign related this question but here goes.
I have a product that I want to offer the customer base the ability to brand themselves. This means household inkjet A4 printers are the basis of what we are aiming at. We also need to have the material that they are printing onto to have a kiss cut/ shaped peel off section which is to be the bit used. These will be placed onto a hard palstic surface creating the design.
I could just go down the paper sticker route but I would prefer a bit of a better finish. The ability to cleanly remove it would be good as well.
Anyone know what I might be looking for?
Thanks,
Andrew

So you need a inkjet material, that similar to vinyl?
There’s inkjet self adhesive vinyl, eg HP C6777A, most of them tend to be matt coated and expensive, as your paying for the special coating that allows inkjet printing.
I’ve printed on it before and then run through my cutter ok.Word of warning, they will not last outdoors very long, about 6 month with lamination.

Thanks for that. I’ll have a look. These will be fairly protected once printed and not open to the weather.
Basically, I need this to be like a better quality sticker sheet that the customer prints through their own inkjet. Ideally it will be removable as well which is why I am not keen on the basic paper option.

Depends what you mean by removable, if you are talking about something that can be removed & then used again then something like Phototex or similar product might do the job but it’s not cheap so might push the price above what your customers would be prepared to pay.

Thanks Martin. I will look into that. Removable and able to reuse would be a benefit but not essential. I will look into costs.
