Ask yourself a few questions:

1. Is the job indoor or outdoor?
2. Is it temporary or long term?
3. Is the surface flat or irregular?
4. What finish do I need?

The answers to these questions will point you to the correct vinyl for your job - either calendared or cast, with a permanent or removable adhesive with or without laminate.

This will depend on what you print and how much you print. Some types of media, like canvas, can hold a lot of ink to provide stunning prints while others, like heat transfer material, can still provide a nice print but do not hold as much ink. Generally when making signs you can expect an average cost of about 25 cents per square foot and less than one penny per square inch when making heat transfer product.
