This listing is for 10 sheets of professional quality 11inx17in matte self-adhesive waterproof inkjet printable vinyl and 10 sheets of 11inx17in 3M Scotchcal 8520 matte laminate
Please note: All of my vinyl is shipped flat so it is ready to use upon arrival!
Details for each material are below;
1.) Details regarding the matte vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 1mil in thickness. This material is great for labels, customizing products with monograms, business logos, etc.
Please keep in mind that the material itself and the adhesive are waterproof but your water-soluble ink is not. That means you will need to laminate your prints to protect them from water, the affects of UV, and abrasion.
2.) Details regarding the 3M Scotchcal 8520 matte overlaminate - PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MATERIAL HAS ALSO 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!
This material is the best in the industry at providing superior durability and longevity when applied to your artwork and, when paired with matte vinyl, creates a perfectly matte result.
When paired with our matte inkjet vinyl, this 2mil cast laminate will help your ink last at least three times longer due to its excellent ultraviolet resistance. This matte laminate works fantastically in any application where you're looking for a matte result or when reduced glare is preferred. For reference, please take a look at the photos above - one of them shows the 3M logo which we printed on our matte vinyl and laminated using 3M Scotchcal 8520 overlaminate.
There are a couple different methods of application - this material is designed to be used with a cold roll laminator but can also be applied using a peel-and-stick method as it has a permanent solvent-based acrylic adhesive. It works well with both cast and calendered vinyls. If you will be applying the laminate before cutting your graphics on a plotter, you will need to increase the cutting force. 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.).
Please message me to request a quote for large quantities or custom-sized sheets. I also carry 3M 8518 glossy laminate as well as glossy vinyl, if you are looking for a glossy and photo-realistic result.
