Print on matte black

[klingsdesigns]

Looking to print black logo on matte black 1080 and then lam with matte lam. Anyone ever do this? Looking to do customers logo hidden in the racing stripes on his camaro. Figured it would look neat if it turned out.

We have with our latex and as soon as you laminate it pretty much disappears.

Thats what i figured. I will try laminating it tomorrow.

What about printing onto clear and laminating that to the black before laminating the black. Perhaps it will give the ink some perceived 'depth' since it's on clear before the black. Alternately cut black logos, stick to black film, laminate.
I'd had a similar idea but with white. Print a logo onto white film, voidcut the words "after dark" under the logo, cut and place reflective lettering in the void, laminate everything with black perf. Never tried it but I may now for kicks.

logo is too detailed to cut that small otherwise that would be cool just to put under striping and have the embossed look.

What about using black reflective and printing black on that. Flood everything with black except for the logo and then laminate with black.
We did white reflective this way (white ink) and it turned out really cool.

That's all white ink? Oof, I bet that was expensive!

Oh yeah, on IJ680CR no less. Not an inexpensive wrap.

Good thing those hospitals are flush with cash.

This is kind of what i am planning but making a pattern. He doesnt want reflective kind of wants it to be just barley showing.

That would be great if you had a UV flatbed, UV ink is raised ( has depth)

we printed this on our gerber edge, gloss clear coat foil on matte black vinyl, came out well, it's very subdued until the light hits it at the right angle than it jumps out at you, been on my truck 3 years no and it's still looks great!

Why ask, when you have the tools to try! The amount of stuff we try is pretty unreal. People come to us with out there ideas, and we will try, not for them but for us. Because if results are good, we not only have pleased out client, we've developed a new product.

What does that look like at night??

Not exactly night, but in the install garage with a few lights off.

What about skipping the laminate? The gloss would eventually fade away but it would still look fine.
Could cut out the logo in the matte roll and laminate it over gloss black vinyl then cut the stripes out of this.
