ff958 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Hi all I have a little project I am working on but I need to be able to print on vinyl.I have read all the previous post on this as I could find about guys printing on vinyl with their desktop printers, but I still have a few questions. I did get some inkjet printable vinyl from Oracal it is 3951 series. When I try to print on it with my printer the ink just bubbles up and looks like garbage. I have a Hp 3100 series printer that uses the Vivera inks. Would I have better luck with the Durabrite inks from Epson or does it really make any difference? I know this can be done as some of you are doing it I just do not know how. Any help would be great. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knucklehead 530 Posted April 9, 2009 I use Avery 2501, made for aqueous printers, not all printable vinyls are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etreme Crash 0 Posted April 9, 2009 I just printed 2 sheets of decals with the Papilio white waterproof vinyl. I had ordered the sample pack to try it. The graphics came out great. I let it sit over night the ran some water over it and had no runs or fading. I just ordered 2- 10 sheet packs. They sent me an email for a buy one get one free offer and I couldn't pass it up.

digitalgraffiti 0 Posted April 10, 2009 You have to match the vinyl to the type of Ink your printer uses. Oracal 3951 is meant for Solvent inks not Aqueous inks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff958 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Then that would be where my problem is at. It sounds like I need to get some printable vinyl from Papilio. Who do you guys think has the best ink for the printable vinyl Hp or Epson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
