Need advice on Vinyl

[Happyprinter]

Have a customer that wants his snowmobile trailer wrapped. Pretty straight forward, on the 2 sides, full color. My question is, as this is the first time we have wrapped a trailer, what would you recommend for vinyl to print on with my eco-solv printer? And do you have a good lamination recommendation that would offer a high UV protection?

Thanks for your help. Pat I have heard all good concerning 3m IJ180cv3 and 8519. That's what we will use. Thanks again.

where does it say you have to use the same brand cast and laminate

anyways..You're going to spend the money on cast vinyl, use matching lam so you don't void your warranty. Only time you can do it without matching is on cheap intermediate crap.

The way I understood his comment was CAST vinyl with CAST lam.

I don't even think he wraps..

Ahh, just use oracal 651 with any old laminate, it doesn't matter. ... trailers are flat anyways.



I'm kidding btw.

My fave is just your standard 3m control tac with a matching lam, but others on this board have swore by some of the oracal cast vinyls.

just find what you work with the best and be able to provide good quality to the customer ... at higher altitudes the atmosphere is thinner and thus more UV rays ... go for higher UV rating.
