Re: vinyl for color laser you want to run vinyl over a HOT fuser??? remember inkjet does not have any heat when printing...not sure I would want to run vinyl through my 5800...unless I had a stand by fuser.

Re: vinyl for color laser What do you mean by vinyl? usually vinyl comes in set colors, and you cut it with the plotter, but don't print on it.
Opaque paper (for darks) is a form of vinyl that you rint on (for inkjets, not sure about laser)
Also Roland sells a Printer/Cutter combo that will print and cut the opaque paper.

Re: vinyl for color laser Themagictouch in UK have a vinyl for laser printing called CL Media . I've not tried it so don't know if it's suitable.
The Magic Touch (GB) Ltd - Permanent adhesive for indoor and outdoor use
If you look at the pricing for the exterior grade, spot the spelling mistake in the description. Suely that's not what they meant.

Re: vinyl for color laser Freudian slip, or just bad typing, either way it made me chuckle

Re: vinyl for color laser Or you can just try an opaque transfer paper for laser printers. Laser! Opaque from Neenah, and Forever dark pinklines are some recommendations. They can be used on non-oil based laser printers with higher fuser temperatures.

Re: vinyl for color laser Aldo, I will second Jim's recommendation with the exterior printable vinyl from the magic touch, I have a box here and it works fine. The CL*Media is good stuff.
*Jimc, yes I noticed the spelling mistake too, hehehe.......
