Printable Vinyl, can someone shed some light on this? What are the applications for this particular vinyl? Heard an inkjet printer is better on this than the laser printers, is this true? Thanks

It will melt in a laser so don't try that.
People use it for making shaped stickers for their cars or walls and lately I've even seen them on tumblers (washable!)
Another use is to just print your own vinyl in a color or pattern you need for cutting instead of buying it separately. Say, for fleshtone or polka dots or zebra, etc.

THanks for the info. was just wondering if it could be used to transfer a picture, clipart, etc. onto it, wouldn't the ink be wet and run together? I am thinking of doing a landscape scene on a piece like a fall one with different colored leaves etc. Could it be used for that application? Never even thought of making my own patterned ones, cool. Thanks for your info.
