Are there any vendors that offer printing on chrome wrap for some decals ( Print/Cut ) ?
I have a couple of decals a guy is looking to get for a dirt bike.

Thanks

Just remember, Substance only makes calendared vinyl right now, no cast. On a good note, they specialize in vinyl for motocross plastic.

Have you ever tried to print on cast or calendared laminate? after printing your artwork on a laminate, laminate the print or “laminate the laminate“ per say. then mount that to the reflective. its one of my favorite decals to make. in essence you could print your own any color wrap-able chrome decals. i have never tried them on an actual wrap but i know they last forever on flat surface and indoors and ive never seen them delam indoors. my guess is they would work well outdoors too but dont quote me on it… using chrome as your white substrate replacement is probably my favorite decal combo

Someone with a gerber edge could print these for you with chrome foil on a specific vinyl designed for low energy plastics.

We can possibly print these. You are welcome to dm me. Thanks.

We can take care of you. We print moto and snowmobile graphics! I stock substance chrome. Dm me we would be happy to help.
I'm interested to try the Substance chrome. Do you print white over the chrome as a backer for other colours? If so which printer do you use and how is the coverage?

could you not get a similar effect with a roland bn-20 or one of the used vs300 family with white/reflective capability?

no, i am aware, just a thought,
we have 3 gerber edges, but, use them a lot less, i wasn't sure if that effect might work for you .

Ah, we run Roland and Epson printers with metallic, as well as Edge FX. Currently looking for an alternative for the Edge for chrome prints

I was curious if he was using a UV printer to underlay the white. I have never been impressed with the opacity of eco solvent white ink, not to mention the issues it causes with print heads.

IN ANOTHER WEEK we will have our mutoh hybrid up, (printhead is coming in today)
we aquired it about a month ago
it uses MP31 inks. we can't wait to see how it's capabilities measure up
perhaps we can print a few samples for you, so you can see if you would want to acquire a mutoh hybrid

what about the R-tape FX metallic materials. they have solvent printable chrome.
their outdoor life span is not like cast materials but may fit the bill for what you are looking to do

we print on chrome and or metallic materials on our uv printers all the time works great. definitely better opacity compared to solvent and eco-solvent

You can if you want the color to be more opaque. Usually we just print color right on the chrome, the lighter the color the more chrome effect. We use both Hp latex and Epson printers.

I’m having a blur effect sometimes. Pic attached.

Also, even if I use the take up reel it seems to stick and won’t move. It happens even on the intake rollers.
