I have seen several post that have been critical of the

Premium plus vinyl. Some say the product peels off. Is there

a problem with this vinyl that we should be aware of?

I looked on their website and they are saying they are

having problems keeping up production. Makes one wonder

if there are problems with this product. Can some of you

that have experience with the Premium Plus comment on

this? Thanks for the info.

Actually, web site says it's a shortage of materials. I se it, but it can be tricky. One color might peel better cold, the next hot. I always repress after peeling away the backing...haven't had complains about peeling since I've done that. They are currently out of nearly every single color, so for the moment, it might be a moot point

Knehmer--Thanks for the reply. But the fact you say there are differences between the colors seems to be

an indication of a problem. They say a shortage of


materials, but history shows that many companies don't like to admit problems. Not saying Stahls is doing

this, just the conspiracy theory syndrome (lol). Anyone else have information on this product??

We've had great success woth Premium Plus. It needs a sharp blade to cut and you get a bunch of detail out of it. It's great for school stuff and large letering and numbers. Have items with almost 2 years on them and no problems to date. You do see a bit of dye migration or bleed if you layer the colors.

I personally don't feel that Stahls has a mfg problem, but a scheduling problem. They go into backorder during every seasonal run. We get this during Little League, just before school starts and pretty much whenever you get a big influx of people needing team gear. All in all, very satisfied with Premium Plus.

Sorry, I meant to say you WON'T get a bunch of detail from it. Also, we have noticed the inconsistency of the peel. Some hot, some warm, some cold. Just takes a little time to know the requirements of each color. You'll soon have your popular colors and it just becomes second nature.

Thanks for the reply. Will look at it, but just getting started I think I'll look around a bit, see if there is something better. Thanks again
