I haven't had many problems with basic cut vinyl on textured surfaces as long as you heat it down afterwards. I would, however, be concerned with the humidity and steam from the shower more so than the surface.

I print 3M IJ40C and laminate with Decorative Films SX-2080 Clear Dry Erase. It is pricey but it works better than anything else I've tried. Most of my customers are willing to pay a little extra for dry erase prints that will last a long time and wipe clean without any cleaners.

I have never had issues getting substrates from Grimco, but I always buy bulk for the discounts, so not sure if that makes a difference on delivery time. I save about $9/sheet by purchasing 25 sheets of 6mm Maxmetal, always delivered next day.

Interesting. I'll have to give the 8518-8520 a try for outdoor graphics. They are basically the same price as the 8508-8510.

I'm in the same boat and have currently narrowed our search down to the Multicam Apex 1R, Vision VR48, and Techno HD/Atlas 4896. I would suggest narrowing your search and then reaching out to each company. They will conduct 1 on 1 video demonstrations or even visit your shop. What I have learned...

I always thought the 8518-8520 was intended to be used with the 180 print films? Do you see an advantage using the 8518 over the 8508 when printing on 40C-10R?

Thanks so much for the info!!!

You may be right. Heating and rolling a 40'x8' brick wall wrap is painfully time consuming.

Yes, I'm using rollers and Porter Cable heat guns. I can get it to go down during the intstall, but when I visit the sites 6 months later, I've noticed some of the vinyl is starting to tent over the grout.

I currently use 3M IJ8624 Rough Texture vinyl with 8524 laminate for any textured wall wraps (brick, cinder block, etc). I have noticed other wall wraps that seem to hold into the grout lines better than the 3M rough texture. What media are you using for brick wall wraps?
