Default Printing on Plastic???

Hi All

Is it possible to print on plastic with plastisols or do I have to get special ink. The plastic I mean is like on sale boards, its corrugated. I think the correct name is correx?

Thanks
James

can't you use regular sign vinyl with glue ?

no, plastisol will not work well on plastic sign boards.

however, you can get transfers made (different inks) that print on Plastic bottles (labels etc.) type.

Are those Nazdar inks lacquer or enamel inks? Will they clean up with Franmar soy products...I'm done with mineral spirits but love the permanence of oil-based inks...

Not exactly sure of the Franmar brand, but I tried with a soy based cleaner from CCI, and it doesn't work at all. Cleaners meant specifically for graphic inks will need to be used.
