Looking for a vinyl sticker printer

[Vlad77]

Hi, everyone. Looking for a home use printer to print stickers on vinyl rolls like 12'' ORACAL 5400 Reflective Vinyl. Are there any options with the reasonable price? Thanks for any ideas.

You are looking at a material that is made and used mainly for outdoor signage, by screen printing on it with solvent-based inks. Like traffic signage, metal marking, for example.  It's definitely not suitable for laser printing or inkjet

It can also be printed on production-type flatbed inkjets using UV-curing ink. Like this one:

Is this type of stuff what you want to print?

Surprisingly the higher up you go, does not yield better photo quality as the print nozzles are almost all identical. The variance comes from either dye or pigment based inks. 522 vs 502 refills. 502 is pigment based inks which yields better photos and UV Resistance, 522 is dye based, cheaper to run and refill .
