Big Boat Graphics!!

We were asked today to do prints for a sailboat race in our area. They want 100 large prints with a contour cut.

My question is, which vinyl should I use to print these?

They only need to last a day or 2 at the most, but since the prints will be in saltwater and it will be moving quickly I dont want the image to fade. Also they want to keep the cost down so I was hoping there was a vinyl that could handle this without laminating.

Any help will be really appreciated!!!

Not sure I understand what you are asking?

"In salt water and moving quickly"


Are these prints gong to be installed on the side of the boat hull above the water line and being subjected to the water spray, etc?

If so call 3M or Oracal and ask what they recommend!

Absolutely. I'd go with tiled waxpaper & schoolgrade/gradeschool gluesticks myself. Might want to tack the corners with hotglue.

I was going to say use a marker and some paint mask

Don't only ask for a recommendation, ask for a volume price and nail them first...it could be the first of many projects for your company, they help you and you will remember them in the future!

Laminate. I would thing that any cheap combo would do. Also if you don't laminate they might have a tough time installing them.
