This listing is for 5 8.5x11 sheets of 3M Scotchcal 8518 glossy overlaminate and 5 sheets of glossy white inkjet printable vinyl. Please see details for both below:
1.) Details regarding the glossy vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, permanent self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 1mil 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...
2.) Details regarding the 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.
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.
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.).
