Digital printed vinyl and laminate material?

[Dennis422]

Hi there.
I'm new to the printing world. I have been doing vinyl (Cad cut) for a year and I recently purchased used Mutoh Falcon printer.

Now I'm trying to settle on the vinyl brand and I was wandering if I need to match the brand of the vinyl and laminate, or I just need to make sure that I match calendared or cast vinyl and laminate.

I'm leaning to Oracal as my house brand, but I have a few customers that might insist on the brand they buy right now (Avery or 3M).
Would I be able to use Oracal laminate material on those brands or no (Or the other way around)?

The reason is that I would love to stock only one brand of laminate in cast and calendared.

Thanks

I use the Oracal 3751RA/290G kits for the jobs that require it. The clients that used to insist I use this or that I took the time to educate. It's a win-win. They get a quality product and I get to avoid carrying costs on a material one or two clients might need now and then. My shop is down to one calendared, one cast with appropriate laminates.

Yeah it's fine, I do it everyday. As long as it's cast with cast and cal with cal you're fine.

What size is the Oracal 3751RA/290G kit, and what does it cost (where).

Thanks

Size = 54" x 50 yards. Cost = just under a Grand delivered Where = Fellers.

One thing to keep in mind when mixing and matching different brands is that it voids the warranty.
