High Temp Decals

[Jason Thomas]

I have a small job in the works for kettle stickers that will be used indoors, however, adhered to boiling hot stainless steel water kettles. The decals are pretty small, 5" circles and such. They must be fluorescent. I'm seeing that the 3M wrap fluorescent yellow is rated at 225ºF surface temp. So I'm inclined to use that. Before I run a sample, has anyone had any experience printing directly to it via Eco-Solvent? If it's not possible then I would maybe print onto 8518 laminate first, then laminate it to the the fl. yellow. I see the 8518 is also rated for a high temp. Any experience on these matters?

Not sure if this will help. I cut some numbers out of laminated ArlonSLX+ for a Harley oil tank which get really hot. Told the client if there are any issues to stop by and we'll do something else. That was several months ago so....

Usually printing on colored or patterned vinyl works with black but any other color will look washed out unless you can print with white.
