Arlon SLX+ / 3210 Stretching / Plastic adhesion

Hey All,

Avery 1105 shop here. We're testing out some samples of the Arlon SLX+/ 3210 lam. Initial thoughts were terrific low initial tac and the ability to easily reposition the vinyl. Where we ran into issues is when trying to stretch around areas such as a bumper or sticking to plastic like the body molding of a Transit Connect. Even with heat the material didn't want to stretch easily when pulled, and the tack on the vinyl is just not enough for the body molding. What are you seeing with this Arlon vinyl in regards to its ability to stretch and adhere to challenging areas? Is there a different Arlon vinyl/lam combo you are using that might be better suited to addressing these issues?

Thanks,
Adam

SLX+/3220 lam. Recently did a full wrap on a beer trailer, 38' with roll up doors. I asked the installer how it compared with 6000xrp/3220. He said there is no comparison. "The challenging areas where I would have to heat and force the material the SLX+ just goes in and stays." This was a trial by fire for us because I can no longer get 6000xrp. Was actually a blessing as the print quality is incredible.

Don't be afraid of the material and check Arlon's training videos for this.
Wrapping with SLX+ is two third the time than using Avery 1105.
And the print quality on our Epson SC-80610 is great!!!
