Orafol 2640-10G Can I use it?

Hi,

Yesterday they came and installed my new ECO solvent printer.
I'm trying to get up to speed now, but I m also a bit confused?
I remembered I ordered alot of vinyl back in the days, to use with my cricut. Mostly for plotting/cutting skins etc. One of those leftover rolls is a "Orafol 2640-10g". 200 micron.
Data sheet looks kinda ok, but when I look online, I'm getting the idea this is for screen printing?

Can I use it or not?

I believe that is more of a screen print vinyl than a solvent-printable vinyl.

Thats a shame, bit i could use it for plotting? Just to get my designs right?

I would think so. There's likely no harm in trying to print on it to see if you get any adhesion. Plotting it should represent no issue. I've not worked with it, but judging by the specs, the only unique aspect is that it is pretty thick at nearly 8mils so you'll have to get your blade force dialed in.
