As I understand that model it uses water based dye ink with uv inhibitors to make it last a little longer so you would still need vinyl that is coated for aqueous inks and laminate to get any life out of it outdoors - it is not going to be like the solvent mimaki that actually bit into the vinyl this ink will only adhere to that coating sprayed on top
