Please find details for each product below; 

1.) 3M squeegee - This 4" felt-edge squeegee can be used time and again for applying your graphics to their ultimate destination. The felt edge will protect your graphics from being scratched or marred upon application.

2.) Finger gloves - These 2" protective anti-static lint-free finger gloves will prevent your skin's oils from affecting the inkjet coating on your glossy vinyl. Glossy materials can be tricky to handle because they easily absorb your fingerprints, which can affect the way the ink lays down on the substrate. These reusable gloves will prevent smudging, scratching, and general marring when worn on the thumb and index finger of each hand.

3.) Glossy vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, permanent self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 3mil in thickness. Results will be vibrant and photo-realistic as if you are printing on glossy photo paper.

Please keep in mind that just because the substrate itself and adhesive are waterproof, your inkjet ink is not! It will run when touched by water and fade when faced with sunlight. When paired with our laminate, you will have a truly UV-resistant and waterproof result. Please read on for more information and a video regarding these materials...

4.) 3M Scotchcal 8518 glossy overlaminate - 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.

When paired with our glossy inkjet vinyl, 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.

5.) Matte vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, permanent self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 3mil in thickness. Results will be vibrant and professional.

Please keep in mind that just because the vinyl itself and adhesive are waterproof, your inkjet ink is not! It will run when touched by water and fade when faced with sunlight. When paired with our laminate, you will have a truly UV-resistant and waterproof result.

6.) 3M Scotchcal 8520 matte overlaminate - Like 3M's 8518 laminate, this matte version is the best in the industry at providing superior durability and longevity when applied to your artwork. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: There are a couple different methods of applying the laminate to your artwork - 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.
