Title: Anyone know what type of vinyl to use on this .....Thing??
Post by: im_mcguire on December 14, 2016, 03:05:21 PM
Its a faux leather (pleather) planner, and my client wants a few thousand heat pressed.  I just dont know what type of film to use on it, without melting it.  There is no info on the thing at all.

Any thoughts?

It's been a white since I tried this material so I may be wrong, but when I was looking into it I believe direct printing was the only option and needed to use an air dry ink or additives to bring cure temp down (and under cure since they won't get washed).  They melt at a super low temp if I remember right.

I've done those with some Nazdar 9700, I think we had some success with 59000 series enamel adding some nb80. Nazdar has what you need for sure.

  My guess would be vinyl ink. The NazDar S2 should work fine but the 9700
might work also. NazDar should be able to tell you.

For a large order it may be worth outsourcing them to be foil stamped?

  We could probably foil stamp them. PM me if you think it might be an option.

We use a print/cut material that applies as low as 170 degrees.  Goes on vinyl coated hockey bags without a mark.    It is a ColorPrint product called CPLV-2700  You will have to use an application mask though.
