PRINTING ON VINYL??????????????

[godstrong1 2]

HAS ANYONE TRIED USING A LAZER PRINTER TO PRINT ON VINYL? IF SO WHAT WAS THE RESULT!

I tried it once.It melted bits of the vinyl. I have seen it done though so it could be that it depends on the vinyl.

Hello,

New you cannot print onto normal vinyl using a desktop laser printer.

There are types of plastic type made for laser printers however these are not suitable for cutting.

There used to be a lot of thermal ribbon transfer printers on the market.

These print quite well on normal vinyl.

Then you spray them with automotive clear coat (usually after cutting).

I just did a search for these types of printers however only found ones for small labels.

Perhaps someone knows of a low cost one?
