Details regarding the glossy vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, 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.
Details regarding the clear vinyl - This inkjet-printable vinyl is professional quality, self-adhesive, and waterproof. It is 1mil in thickness. This material is best used with dark inks to achieve the most vibrant result. Keep in mind that typical inkjet printers do not print in white so any white or very light areas of your artwork will be clear when printed.
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.).
Please keep in mind that just because the above substrates and their adhesives are waterproof, your inkjet ink is not! It will run when touched by water and fade when faced with sunlight. Pairing our laminate with vinyl will provide a truly UV-resistant and waterproof result.
