well i am not having luck printing on this material. I did a wiki search on it and it says that the polyethylene is highly resistant to acids and solvents. well that's just great when you are trying to print on it!

I think the ink that is used on this material is mainly UV hence the watercolor look.

Just seeing if anyone knows anything about using solvents on polyethylene!

:banghead:

Pretty much like the wiki says not much sticks to polyethylene. For painting, gluing and applying vinyl you can heat treat the material with a torch, just a few quick passes is supposed to help adhesion. Not sure if that would help with what you are doing or not.
