Stlouistech 2 Posted November 23, 2010 I have a customer whom called me today and wants magnets made but with a black background instead of a white background. Where can I get these or do I just stick black vinyl to the white vinyl? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniderman 8 Posted November 23, 2010 i always have to cover the white with what ever color they want the background,, i can only find white by me in illinois Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted November 23, 2010 I usually get car magnets with coloured backgrounds printed because there is no way to apply a solid sheet of vinyl without annoying bubbles.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roxanneupnorth 106 Posted November 23, 2010 I have not made many attempts to apply sheets of vinyl to magnets and/or other substrates because I have not been able to do it well enough......And when I look at most magnets I see on cars at the local Walmart or Home Depot most are a mess with many bubbles showing....So others have problems too....Maybe I will figure it out someday, but in the mean time I order them from a supplier that does them on a flat bed printer and magnetizes them after they are printed.....

I do a lot of colored backgrounds,always wet,and never a bubble. The notion that dry is the only professional way to go makes a lot of bad jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
