Title: vinyl jacket printing?
Post by: 3Deep on August 05, 2015, 12:10:15 PM
Need some advice here guys, we have a customer that needs some vinyl waterproof jackets printed, 74% vinyl 26% Poly.  I know we can print them but what inks plus they're asking for multicolor printing which I'm not sure of, pulling out my Nazdar book now.  Oh and the jackets are yellow I pretty sure I want need any base printing as I'm thinking vinyl want bleed if I could do multicolor printing, thanks for any and all advice in advance.

we would do them as a screened transfer and use one stroke ink crystals and cold peel paper,

@ aauusa you just flew right above my head LOL care to explain your process, what is one stroke ink crystals and cold peel still takes heat right and I don't think this material will take much heat if any.   Care tag on the inside sez  wipe clean with damp cloth, do not dry clean or iron, do not machine wash

one stroke has the powder crystals for transfers.  you print on cold peel paper, then dust with the powder crystals and send through the dryer.  you  flash in between colors and have the dryer at your normal speed and heat for tee shirts.  then heat press them at 290 for 10 seconds and cold peel.   it is great for items which need a lower temp. like performance shirts or nylon jackets,  anything which is heat sensitive.

talk to rob mears at one stroke   very knowledgeable guy

Only time I've done PVC jackets it was a serious pain, and they were one color. 
Never done air-dry inks for multi color on 'textiles' myself.

Just one color all you have to deal with is stink and finding enough places to lay them out to dry...

Rain slicker, and other vinyl type jackets can be decorated with cold vinyl, I would think. How about it Versa-Cam people?

Mostly on those, we use an air dry multi purpose ink, like what you'd use on bumper stickers and the like...

How do you deal with multi color designs and registration?

Jacket hold down. nylobond on base would be my guess or pain in butt. If done wrong it comes off in wash. I don't do them for that reason.
