Ive printed on the actual vinyl record (see pic below) and Ive screen printed on cd sleeves but not record sleeves (yet)





Good thread with process pics of record sleeve print:

FACE THE RAIL - 12" screen print w/ process pics - SF down by the beach punks.

sorry. the title is misleading i guess.

I want to print on the clear bag that a standard LP jacket sits inside.

i'm kind of new here but here is my two cents if i had to do this

if you are printing one color prints, i would use nazdar 9700 series ink, it adheres to the plastic/vinyl/pvc really well and it air dries in about 20-30 minutes. you might have a bit of a peel problem after printing if you just lay the sleeve down on your platen because one side will be held down but since its a pocket the other side will peel up with your screen. you could create a platen to fit inside the sleeves and burn your art accordingly to the placement on the platen

two colors same thing but print, let dry and then print 2nd color

9700 cracks right off poly sleeves. At least the three times I tried it. Will adhere fine to thick poly, but anything that bends fucks it up.

edit: even with the bonding agent that my rep told me would work like a charm

i wonder what happens with nazdar 2700? i printed on polybags once, and you needed a very harsh fingernail scratch to get it off. like, when would you ever scratch it that hard in a real-world scenario? never. but then again, polybags are maybe different. but 2700 is made for light vinyl sticker printing, so who knows...
