kraut724 1 Posted April 20, 2010 i got some papilio inkjet vinyl and did a print. i sprayed the papilio clear coat on it, it turned colors in a matter of days in the sunlight. i used an hp printer. in the meantime i ordered some of the papilio overlaminate, hoping this will work better anybody have any thoughts on this. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted April 20, 2010 No problem here but I use frogjuice.. If you used all TexasCraft supplies i would call them up, maybe you got a bad can of spray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlzimmerman 11 Posted April 20, 2010 I would be more interested in what type of ink you used. Dye based inks, even with a UV overlaminate, will fade from what I hear. It has to be pigment or solvent based to hold up in the outdoors or laser toner. Do this...print a sheet of paper and put it on the dash of your car for a couple days/weeks/months, if it fades there you need to change inks. (most windshileds filter out all UV I think). Do you know what type of ink is in your printer, and if it was pigment or dye based? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 20, 2010 with the hp it is probably dye based - that would definitely do theat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
