They work well but there are issues...

They work well but there are issues. An eco-solvent printer starts at several thousand dollars, so this product allows you to print with a pigment inkjet to make durable decals.
They must be laminated or over-all clear coated in order to make them outdoor durable. And it's a calandered vinyl while some of the most durable lamination films are cast, so there's a mismatch there.
If you're going to clear coat over this material a laquer type coating must be utilized first in order to fill or bridge the very porous surface, otherwise your coating sinks into the surface creating divots or pock marks. I have found Krylon fixative 1311 works the best, but rustoleum 2x matte clear also works pretty well.
The next issue is the thickness - this stuff is 5.5 mils thick to start with - any coatings or lamination films add up to 8mils or so - they become really thick and noticeable. And extremely difficult to bury in a urethane overall clear like for automotive use.
And finally, it's really expensive, and so it the ink. So you buy a cheap machine to make them but the materials are at the extreme.
