Has anyone had any experience lettering these type of outdoor shelters? It is a polyester material. What type of vinyl /paint/ ink should I use? Thanks for any help you can send my way.
I've used screen ink for Coroplast, PP81 series, in Color FX brand kind of a universal screen printing ink and painted it on. HP vinyl would work short term but the up and down of the EZ UP style would work loose PDQ.

Roger & Stan, have you had long-term success with these type of fold-up shelters? (BTW Roger I always use your products before any vinyl hits the substrate).
Sam, I have some Nazdar 9700 all purpose ink with the NB-70 catalyst for coroplast. Would that work?
Jimmy, where do I find info on dac ez?
Thanks again!

I've had good luck on that type material cutting a mask out of vinyl and spraying with Aqua Flow or other acrylic, then top-coating with binder. I always heat-set with a heat gun carefully! and I've never had a failure yet. I've done many gym bags, etc. like that and they take a lot of beating and hold up well. Hope this helps, R.T.
