Title: CPO material opinions
Post by: langlem on May 31, 2016, 10:05:42 pm

I am looking for some opinions on material used for a custom Control panel overlay.

I am debating between a printed glossy vinyl under plexi OR the polycarbonite material that seems a bit more common.

My concern is the vinyl will look kind of "wet and blotchy" or stuck to the plexi above it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Matt

If you get matte vinyl, you won't get that splotchy wet look under the plexi.  I'm a big fan of the polycarb myself.  Plexi overlay shows smudges and fingerprints super easy.

+1  Polycarb FTW.
