What is the best way to care for composite chips with vinyl labels? (nexgens, progens, etc.)
I've searched both the Chip Care and Labeling threads and could not find a topic that addresses this. Any info here is helpful.
I am currently researching my next chip investment and I wanna go with a custom chip. Either progen/labels or Ceramics. Clays (the obvious best option) are out of the budget at this time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
alot depends on if you have a paper label or a vinyl label with or without lamination. If theyre laminated- no matter whats underneath- they should last a long time and clean well with alcohol or soap/water.
I would be careful in cleaning a paper label or a vinyl label with NO lamination- while the inks most of us use are waterproof and smudge proof- solvents WILL destroy the ink as would rough handling/rubbing of the image--
unlaminated images WILL scratch and also wear-
years ago we used to use something called frog juice to protect unlaminated images- its like a clear laquer finish and very durable- I would recommend this to anyone who has unlaminated images on their chips
