Printing on reflective vinyl
My understanding of the eco-sol max is its a transparent ink. Given that fact has anyone printed on reflective white vinyl. ANd if so were you able to preserve the reflectivity of the vinyl?

it does still retain some reflectivity. We had a heat transfer printable reflective material at one time that worked well and I have printed onto reflective decal media many times. the darker the color, the less reflective.

Yes I have printed on reflective vinyl. Machine decals for a snowmobile trail drag. They want the drag to be seen at night from all sides. Worked pretty good. I use Arlon vinyl.

I print all the time on 3M 680C reflectives... the tranparency of the CMY colours allows the reflectivity of the media to still shine through, but the K is nearly opaque, so anywhere printed in black will not reflect anymore.

when you print on reflective vinyl do you then laminate it to protect it. I usually print on a clear material, laminate that then stick it onto the reflective, I find it works quite well and doesnt fade over time

if you laminate the printed reflective it will do the same.
