Dakotagrafx 7,298 Posted June 21, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
