Oracal vinyl description question

[gabagoo]

Received this online flyer for Oracal removable calendered vinyl. I am interested in a vinyl like this for printing, but the description baffles me.

ORAJET® Series 3621 Removable Econo Vinyl is an economical 3mil, 4-year
calendered inkjet media, a perfect choice for short-term interior and exterior
graphics that require easy removal. ORAJET 3621 has a water-based, removable,
grey-pigmented adhesive that delivers great covering power.
Designed for flat-surface applications.


Short term calendered vinyl that is rated for 4 years...? I would consider that long term for calendered.... What is it I am missing here. I don't expect any calendered digital vinyl to last much longer...

Could it be the removeable option that is short term?



anyone know?

4 years unprinted under the ideal conditions. Always slash 1.5 - 2 years off their cal media after its been printed.

Water based adhesive makes it easy to remove, but becomes near permanent after a year or two depending on temperatures

OK good info...never knew that printed lessens the life of the vinyl...but then the colour would fade before the adhesive would give out

Im using this vinyl for printing rinkboards (they are getting installed right on the arena & removed when it gets beat up. Our WHL club likes it.

I use this vinyl a lot for short term and love it. John
