How long will Unlaminated Vinyl Last

[nikdoobs]

We are making some election signs that will be up for about 2 months. I printed them on Arlon calendared vinyl to be applied to coroplast. I am tying to decide if they need to be laminated or not. What would you guys do?

Thanks,
Nick

2 months shouldn't be a problem for any inks...... not even aqueous. Just get paid upfront with politicians. :ROFLMAO:

I have tested unlaminated prints on calendered in full sunlight and easily got 2 years and pushed it to 3 years with minor fade...after that they go rather fast

Okay... thanks guys!

If unlaminated make sure you put some paper between each sign/print. Customer just brought back 10 coro signs that stuck together from sitting in the hot vehicle over the weekend. The prints even sat for a few days before installing.....

Just my .02!
