Printing on vinyl. Colorfast? Weatherproof?

[Jim Robson]

Hello, I am planning a project and I need some advice. I want to buy a Ridgid Job Box for my truck, but for cost reasons I want it used. The used boxes always have the decals messed up. The factory is not cooperative in providing replacement decals, so I was wondering if I could make my own with one of the printers I have. Canon Pixma PRO-10 or an Epson R1900. I think I can live with 13X19" sheets. If I use ordinary printer ink, what will be the longevity of the decal as far as UV and weather are concerned? Thanks for any help and advice. Regards, Jim

Thanks for having this forum. In my past, I have been an offset printer. (Multilith, AB Dick, Goss 55 inch 4 color web offset along with prepress, ad layout, tech support PC, MAC and Sun Microsystems).

Never mind. I just discovered that the decals I'm seeking are readily available on eBay. Thanks.
