RE: Types of Vinyl Graphics
Not really, though some of the shops are using a newer bubbleless vinyl.
The printed vinyl costs more but gives you more because the equipment and materials cost more but you can do stuff with a vinyl printer you just can't do with a cutter without layering it.
Make sure the covering is good and shrunk and tight before you start because you dont want to try to fix covering sags when the vinyl graphics are already applied.
