WrestlingWear 5 Posted September 25, 2013 Hello, Currently working for a new shop in which we have an HP wide format printer. I have a buddy that purchased a transit bus and will be painting and remodeling to use for his band. We are looking to do the windows in the one way perf film. Does anyone have any suggestions on brand or locations where to order at best price? Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thank You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 25, 2013 how does the water based ink hold up outdoors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingWear 5 Posted September 25, 2013 It does fair from a test set of magnets but I figured I could use a laminate over this perf film. I am brand new to this on the printing side of things so sorry for the lack of knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 25, 2013 we will have to wait for someone else that used water based ink outside - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted September 25, 2013 Never seen a water based perf material. I would think it would not last at all, to many edges for moisture to destroy the coating required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 25, 2013 I looked it up and clearchoice makes one - but no way I would use water based outside anyways. - that printer come with either dye or pigment ink - the dye wouldn't last a few months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
