Lettering onto Dacron Sail Cloth

Hello Fellow Sign Makers.
Has anybody had any experience with applying lettering or graphics onto
Dacron Sail Cloth. My client wants to have lettering applied to this fabric.
It will not be for a sail boat, although it is the same fabric used.
I found a material called INSIGNIA at this website:

I was wondering if anybody has used it and if it can be cut on a vinyl cutter?
If not, any other suggestions on what to use.

Thanks, Peter.:clapping:

On a normal plotter cut it sloooow. Test for pressure setting first. The stuff really adheres to the backing paper and normal premask generally wont seperate it from the backing.
I've used removable bumper sticker vinyl with decent results or good old 2" wide masking tape also.

Oh yes forgot the premask as you call it. I use the cheapest clear or laminate as you say normal paper don't do it.
