| 1356121 | 2013-10-16 05:14:00 | Just wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to laser or inkjet print onto sticky back white film ... like many signs are done professionally ... must be waterproof ! Not sure whether they use laser or inkjet and I've been a quote for 200 4x6 "numbers" from a sign-writer and bloody near fell off me barstool ... :eek: Thanks in advance Sp8's |

Although other inkjet technologies work as well like latex. These are usually done on wide format machines. Have a look at this place http://labelsplus.co.nz If the above people can't help PM me |

| 1356123 | 2013-10-16 05:43:00 | Thanks plod .... I'll have a look at it but maybe we'll have to suck it in and pay to get a professional to do it. Just away to a meeting so it'll be tomorrow before I can get a chance to sit and read ! | SP8's (9836) | ||

| 1356125 | 2013-10-16 06:58:00 | You can get printable self-adhesive films or coated paper. Suggest you go into Warehouse Stationery if you have one nearby - else check online at their site and DSE's. | Greg (193) | ||

| 1356127 | 2013-10-16 09:19:00 | Has to be waterproof Greg. Paper, self adhesive labels are not.Plod, honestly some 3M (or whatever brand they're called now) have/had self-adhesive printable material for a years which have been 'weather resistant', ie suited for outdoor use. Sellotape too. And sadly I've currently got a small sign on my letterbox.. "No advertising material" temporarily on my letterbox (until I get to the hardware store) which I printed by inkjet on generic photo paper, and its lasted fine for at least 3 weeks now. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1356128 | 2013-10-16 10:20:00 | Well I dear say it's probably vinyl then. And there is a difference between resistance and proof. Not saying you are wrong, but I deal with this stuff on a commercial basis daily. And this is why I asked what the intended purpose is for | plod (107) | ||
