hi

i do have a plotter and a color laser printer, initially meant for diy heat press tshirt.
Now i am looking forward on expending the scope on car sticker (the type that stick inside a car - to the windows type)

www.nendoroiz.com/sticker.jpg

May i know what is the items needed in such ? Can we use color laser printer as for printing medium ? i was told by one of the seller (seller of car sticker paper) he told me that we do need a inkjet printer for that purposes and the car sticker paper costs us around $ 0.80 each.


thanks

:welcome:We're glad to have you aboard!

Traditionally decals/stickers are made of cut vinyl either solid color or printed with a solvent ink printer and laminated, I can't imagine a laser printed decal lasting for very long out in the weather.

you can do the one and 2 color cut sign vinyl for basic graphics.
the regular laser and inkjet will not hold up outside, they will fade in no time.
you may be able to print on some type of sheets with inkjet then laminate, but I think that will still be limited, and will probably look cheap.

We offer a decal that is applied wet. Will that help?

I’m very much agreed with you. In today’s competitive market, everyone is looking for more customized products/services with less money. Laser printed decals doesn’t last long. I’ve heard many such complaints. You should prefer solvent ink printer and laminated is also very important. As it’s weather resistant, it increases long lasting of the stickers. It will be much more durable and attractive. Many car companies and show rooms use printed custom decals to advertise their company. It’s a great business to be honest if managed properly.
