Details regarding the polypropylene - Polypropylene is an inkjet printable plastic-based material which offers tremendous durability for indoor usage and outdoor usage based on end-user overlamination choice. Please understand this material is best suited for applying to flatter surfaces as it is less flexible than traditional vinyl. This unique material is EXTREMELY reflective, bright white, and offers incredibly high-resolution photo-realistic results. The inkjet coating on this product provides exceptional ink saturation. For more information and a video regarding this material.
Details regarding the matte vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 3mil in thickness. This material is great for labels, customizing products with monograms, business logos, etc.
Please note that while the above materials and their adhesives are waterproof, your water-soluble inkjet ink is not. That means you will have to cover your prints with laminate in order to protect them against bleeding, fading from UV light, and abrasion.
Details regarding the 3M Scotchcal 8518 glossy overlaminate - PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MATERIAL HAS PREVIOUSLY ONLY BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE PROFESSIONAL VEHICLE WRAP INDUSTRY! We're now bringing it to you in an affordable and easy-to-use format for your small business or crafting needs!
Not only is this material the best in the industry at providing superior durability and longevity when applied to your artwork, but it also provides a beautiful glossy "paint-like" finish.
This 2mil cast laminate will help your ink last at least three times longer due to its excellent ultraviolet resistance and will give your artwork beautiful and photo-realistic vibrancy.
PLEASE NOTE: This is PROFESSIONAL material which requires a cold roll laminator for application for the smoothest and best results. MANUAL APPLICATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
The laminate works well with both cast and calendered vinyls. This material can easily be used with personal craft cutting machines such as Cricut or Cameo as well as professional-grade cutters like Roland or Graphtec.
There are a number of alternative uses for laminate, as well - cut a piece the exact size of your laptop's mousepad to protect it from your skin's oils, use it as a cell phone screen protector, or protect your children's precious artwork and even your wedding photos. You can also protect a freshly-painted or finished surface (think furniture, etc.).
