Title: Source to buy inkjet-ready self-adhesive Vinyl?
Post by: BulletProof on August 24, 2015, 09:22:04 pm
Looking for some good printable vinyl sheets that I can stick and peel, but they'd have to be about 11x17 since it's a bar top.

I've looked all over and can't seem to turn anything up. Anyone know where I can get some? I have a pretty large format printer at the office I can use.

Thanks!

I used this on my first bartop build http://www.inkpresspaper.com/profiles.asp?PaperID=33, (http://www.inkpresspaper.com/profiles.asp?PaperID=33,) it is not gloss, but it takes really well to lamination (so you can laminate it in gloss, satin, matte, etc at your local Staples or Kinkos). It comes in 11 x 17. See Corbin Bartop in my sig to see it installed.

So, these are still paper right? If it is, you may want to visit 'Kelly Paper'. They have samples out, you can see variations of thickness of the stock you wish to use.

I've heard good things about the Inkpress stuff, but haven't had a chance to use it myself yet:
