Suggestions Available Gloss Black Cut Vinyl for Low Surface Energy Application

[jochwat]

So the strangest thing has happened. I tried to obtain some vinyl we use all the time, and we're told it's currently unavailable! Have you ever heard of such a thing? And on my mudder's birthday!

Anyway, frivolity aside, I'm having a tough time getting 3M 3690 LF Gloss Black vinyl that one of our customers really likes for its great adhesive properties. Also prefers the inherent gloss black over the printed / laminated product. Problem is, I can find printable white vinyl with Low Surface Energy adhesive properties all over the place, but that specific designation seems a little scarce in the research I've done for color cut vinyl.

Specifically I'm looking for an available (!) 2mil, gloss black, cut vinyl, 7-year, LSE-compatible adhesive.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

LF refers to polyethylene coated "Lay Flat" liner instead of normal kraft paper. Face films are the same.

Avery also have a HiTack 2mil cast in black but like everything else, they probably ran out of stock SC 900-190-O HT
