208i vs 5100 reflective for police cruisers

Hello,

We have been doing Police cruisers for out city for quite awhile and wanted some input on a material change.

Currently using 3M 280i White reflective with Edge Thermal for color applications.

Want to being using 3M 5100 and printing with our Roland Xr-640 for color applications.

Question is, do we need laminate for the 5100 and inkjet print? Is there a performance drop off between the 280i and 5100?

Thank you.
