Printable vinyl saves many steps in the design process. Using the software, business managers can create a logo, size an image for t-shirts, and wrap messages around wood. Here are three great printable vinyl options for your latest project.

Top Three Printable Vinyl Papers

What are the top types of vinyl that we recommend for your printing benefit? We go into these options below. All are available on our Sign Outlet Store website.

ChalkTalk Chalkboard Vinyl

Temporary vinyl can make for great indoor signage. ChalkTalk Chalk Board Vinyl is designed for the indoors, with the option to reposition to adjust the adhesive. It pairs well with UV and latex inks.

PC500 Promotional Cut Vinyl

The Avery PC500 Promotional Cut Vinyl comes from a reputable brand that one should pair with computer signage equipment. It is best for brightly colored printed decals. This vinyl is calendered and flexible, meant for short-term use. A glossy surface paired with UV resistance makes it great for outdoor decals and signage.

Sihl 3988 Classic Vinyl PSA

Do you seek vinyl compatible with dye-based and pigment ink printers while providing bright colors on printed images? Then we can recommend the Sihl 3988 Classic Vinyl PSA with a permanent adhesive. Use this vinyl film for long-term outdoor applications. A matte film allows for creative designs. You can also pair it with PSA & Thermal Overlaminates, as these are compatible.

What To Consider When Looking At Printable Vinyl Paper

When working with vinyl, you need to consider these factors. Such forethought will save you on costs in the long run.

Matte Vs. Glossy Surface

Your vinyl sheen can play a factor in the design that you wish. Most vinyl has options between either glossy or matte surfaces. Either can affect your design.

A glossy surface will reflect light. Glossy is excellent at catching the eye and reducing heat if used to cover a building or a vehicle. However, a designer needs to factor in the glare as a possibility, obscuring any images or lettering. They can also cause discomfort for the customer in question.

Matte surfaces are more complex than glossy reflections. Rather than reflect light the way that glossy paper does, they absorb it to create subtle effects. Matte can be suitable for outdoor displays where the customer will take time to notice them or indoor ones that encourage people to be leisurely when reading messages.

Inkjet Versus Laserjet

Not all vinyl demonstrates compatibility with inkjet and laserjet printers. You must check the sheets to ensure they will work with your machine.

Consider if you are working with a printer, plotter, cutter, or combination machine. Some plotters that print on a grid work better with specific vinyl.
