what VINYL are you talking about???
INKJET WILL NOT PRINT ON REGULAR VINYL!!!!!!
you need INKJET RECEPTIVE vinyl ONLY!!!!
i have a ENCAD 736 INKJET(aqueous) printer. i do "short term" outdoor signage with it. i have 3 STEELER logos on my truck, i printed over 3-4 years ago. they are faded but still readable. i dont laminate, i spray a clear coat of KYRLON on anything that will be outdoors. i have stuf that will last up to 3-4 months when done this way.
the INKJET RECEPTIVE VINYL.........can also be run thru any INKJET DESKTOP.........sealed with KRYLON, and will be fine for a month or so.
