3M cast laminates (eg. 8518) are pretty thin... 2 mil (0.05mm).
Not sure of other options. It's the thinnest we print on.

Not sure about these. I have printed on clear lam before.

I tried to print on laminate - it doesn't really absorb solvent ink

Depends on the laminate. Certain types are designated "digitally printable".
We've printed on 3M cast laminates for ~7 years without problems.
Not sure about Oracal though, no experience with it yet.
Which one did you use?
Thanks, but that one is too thick... I need something thinner than 2 mil.

Why the need for thinner than 2mil? If you have to have that thin look at Avery 1300 series or 8418 for 1.3mil thickness.
Is it solvent printable?
