Hello and welcome to another fresh blog post from your friends at Newstyle Print, the UK’s leading team in the realm of self-adhesive vinyl printing! We’re thrilled to guide you through the remarkable world of vinyl, discussing the best practices, showcasing our range of products, and helping you avoid common pitfalls along the way.
Understanding Self Adhesive Vinyl Printing
Self adhesive vinyl printing is a versatile, durable, and resilient printing technique. It’s your ticket to vibrant, weather-resistant graphics, making it the ideal candidate for a range of applications, from attention-grabbing signage and dynamic vehicle wraps, to personal custom stickers and unique home décor.
Top Do’s and Don’ts in Self Adhesive Vinyl Printing
Let’s discuss the vital do’s and don’ts when it comes to self-adhesive vinyl printing. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the game, these guidelines will prove invaluable for your next project.
Do’s:
- Do Opt for High-Resolution Images: Always select high-quality, high-resolution images. Your finished product will only be as good as the quality of the image you start with. Poor quality imagery can result in blurry or pixelated prints.
- Do Consider the Surface: Remember, the surface you’re applying your vinyl to should be clean, dry, and smooth to ensure the best adhesion and finish.
- Do Make Use of Our Full Design Service: If design isn’t your strong suit, don’t fret! At Newstyle Print, we offer a comprehensive design service to help your creative vision come to life.
Don’ts:
- Don’t Rush the Application: Slow and steady wins the race when applying your self-adhesive vinyl. Hasty application can lead to air bubbles, wrinkles, or even misalignment.
- Don’t Skip the Test Print: Don’t bypass a test print. This can help catch any errors or issues before a full print run.
- Don’t Forget About Durability: If your print will be battling the elements, choose a vinyl type that can stand up to the Great British weather!
