How long it lasts

None of the sources gives dishwasher, outdoor or scratch figures for self-adhesive vinyl and sticker stock. Test a sample the way it will be used before you sell it.

Before you print

  • Use flexible ink on vinyl films (eufyMake table; Mimaki says soft inks suit vehicle-wrapping films).
  • xTool's white adhesive vinyl needs its LM1 laminator and RF1 roll feeder accessories.
