Question 2

Would it work with my hp officejet 5740?

Accepted Answer

The HP OfficeJet 5740 is an inkjet printer so it would not be recommended for printing on the Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser (LV) material. If you do not have access to a laser printer, I suggest one of our weatherproof inkjet materials which can be viewed at the links below.

Question 3

Is this BPA free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser is BPA free.

Question 4

Is this product white or clear?

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser is a white matte material. If you're looking for a clear option for laser printing, we offer the Clear Gloss Laser and the Clear Matte Laser. These are both polyester-based materials, and are very durable as well as water resistant. You can view these material options at the link below.

Question 5

1. Will this product print okay using the HP CP1510ni series color laser printer?

2. Is it suitable for bumper stickers or do you have a different product that you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Vinyl Laser (LV) material has a facestock weight of 79# per ream ± 10%, so it may not be suitable for use in the HP CP1510ni printer as the maximum supported weight is 53#.

You are welcome to use our sample request form for testing the LV labels in your printer, which you may do so using the link below.

We do not recommend using the LV labels as bumper stickers, since the labels do not provide UV protection for your print and you may see fading after a long period of time.

Question 7

Was wondering can I use the Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser sheets for laptop skins? And do I have to seal these types of labels before usage? if so, what or how can I seal them? Thank you!

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Vinyl Laser (LV) is a very durable material with a permanent adhesive. For a durable print result, you may want to adjust the printer's paper type setting to a "Labels", "Cardstock", or "Transparency" option.

We have not tested this material as a laptop skin, however you're welcome to request free samples at the link below.

Question 8

is there a high gloss available for this product?

Accepted Answer

The OL3536LV is a Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser which is not considered glossy. We do offer other full sheet options in a variety of materials. Below is a link to the OL177 which is available in the White Gloss Laser (WS) as well as the Weatherproof Polyester Laser (LP). Although the LP material is not a high gloss, it does offer a slight sheen to the finish.

Question 9

I thought this might be a permanent vinyl but I can peel it off very easily after application. Am I doing something wrong or did I mis understand and it is not permanent?

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Vinyl Laser (LV) does have a permanent adhesive, however bonding time is required after applying the label. Although you may be able to immediately pull up the label to reposition, once fully bonded the adhesive should not be easily removed.

Question 10

Is this material suitable for making silhouette cut-outs to put on my car? (Like zombie family members.)

Accepted Answer

The Weatherproof Vinyl for Laser is a very durable and water resistant material. Although we have not tested this material for car decals, it may work well for you. However, I would like to mention that the toner used in most laser printers is not UV resistant, so fading can occur. You could potentially treat the labels after printing with a UV protective spray like Krylon's UV-Resistant Clear Coating to improve durability in direct sunlight.
