if for outdoor, vehicle wrap types, you might have to invest more money for bigger commercial
type printers.. or if you have experience to repair hp printers, there are many cheap hp latex
printers available online websites..
google or youtube to search more infos for what you need...
I don't think they make a small 24" printer that meets your needs but could be wrong. You might have to search other brand printers but doubtful they'll have anything either. Printing on vinyl for stickers or doing commercial graphics usually requires a water proof, fade proof ink and the dye inks HP uses for smaller printers are neither. They work ok if you laminate them with UV protection material though. So you'd need to invest in a laminater as well.
You might consult the manufacturer of the material you bought and see what they recommend for a printer for their materials. And maybe do a search on this website for specs for the printer you bought to see what paper you can use. There's probably a vinyl that works but you need to get the HP number to see if you can pick it up cheap on Ebay or somewhere like that.
I don't know if HP makes a small printer that works in Eco-solvent, Solvent, UV or latex Ink. You almost have to get into the larger machines. You might want to do a search on this website to see what they have.
Also, try some other brands, too. I don't know for sure what's all out there for that sort of printing but I have a feeling that since the method for printing in Eco-solvent, Solvent, UV or latex Ink is much more complicated than dye ink jet you might be searching for something that doesn't exist.
All of our vinyl lettering comes pre-spaced and pre-masked with transfer tape, making installation a simple, all-at-once process. Follow the step by step instructions below to help you get it installed exactly as you want it. The instructions below are for one-color and simple two-color letters and graphics. For orders with complex two-color designs or three or more colors, due to both production and installation quality purposes, you will install your vinyl lettering layer by layer for the same seamless and professional look.
After measuring and marking your intended installation location if necessary, apply a horizontal strip of masking or painters tape to the top of the graphic with the top half of the tape on the intended surface, creating a hinge.
Hold the bottom edge of the hinged graphic away from the intended surface and remove the back liner (which is different from the transfer tape), revealing the sticky backing of your lettering or graphic. Be careful not to allow the exposed adhesive to touch the surface.
Using a squeegee*, apply pressure to the front or pre masked side of your lettering, placing the graphic onto the intended surface. Squeegee from left to right from the top down. If creases or bubbles develop, carefully lift the graphic and re-squeegee it.
Gently remove the pre-mask transfer tape, starting at a top corner. If any vinyl begins to come off the wall, use your squeegee to firmly adhere it back to the wall and continue peeling away the premask.
Your vinyl lettering can be washed on a regular basis with a damp non-abrasive rag. This will clear it of dust or grime without damaging the lettering. Do not use strong cleaners or scrub vigorously as both of these actions may damage and/or peel away the lettering from the surface where applied.
Vinyl lettering is typically non-printed vinyl cut outs of individual letters. Wall decals are one continuous piece of material whether they are cut to shape or not that can be printed on. Both lettering and wall decals can be applied to nonporous smooth surfaces.
Inkjets and laser printers are perfectly capable of printing on vinyl. Usually, people want to print their unique designs, cool images, and graphics on vinyl sheets with adhesive on the other side. The size of these sticker sheets is usually 8.5 inches by eleven inches. You will soon discover that printable vinyl sheets also come in a variety of finishes and can typically be found in office-supply and craft stores.
Vinyl is a type of waterproof and water-resistant material made from ethylene and choline. Its application is similar to sticker papers, but adhesive printable vinyl is more versatile. It's an excellent material for personalizing items such as mugs, tote bags, and notebooks.
People also use printed vinyl stickers to decorate cars, laptops, and walls. Vinyl can be used on multiple surfaces and is waterproof and water-resistant. These qualities make it a favorite in the printing industry, although if you are a DIYer, you will want to check out the cost of a sticker maker, too.
On the other hand, an inkjet is ideal for complex designs involving multiple colors and intricate detailing. You need a laptop and an exacto knife (or another cutting tool) to get started. Before you begin with the inkjet, make sure your ink cartridges are full and your printer settings are optimal. The good news is you won't need any special ink. To create sharp and vivid prints, try using OEM ink cartridges.
High-quality laser printers are great for producing professional-looking prints on vinyl sheets. Before you start, make sure the printer settings are correct. Use specialized toner to get better results with the laser printer and printable vinyl.
Printing vinyl with inkjet and laser printers is an easy way to get your printing project done quickly. We recommend a laser printer over an inkjet if you want better-quality prints with sharp details.

I saw a reddit post showing results printing with carbon fibre-textured vinyl as a bed surface. A quick google search showed that vinyl was actually used by some folks a few years ago, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered a flex-steel sheet and a couple of textured vinyl car wrap samples. The results were surprisingly good. Here's an adhesion test with PLA:
I'm really intrigued by the results. These were a rush job, and I didn't do the best job laying down the vinyl, and I'm interested to see how well the adhesion holds out, as well as overall durability. The vinyl doesn't smell at all, but I also want to find out more about any issues using it on a heated bed before printing with it extensively indoors.

There is a post on the prusa facebook page from someone using a carbon fiber weave texture vinyl wrap to have that look on the bottom of his prints . I am amazed that they stand up to the heat but a bit of thought and the inside dash of a black car on a hot summer day can get well over 100c and the wrp materials need to tolerate that
There is a post on the prusa facebook page from someone using a carbon fiber weave texture vinyl wrap to have that look on the bottom of his prints . That may be the same person that posted to reddit. I'm not a fan of the CF weave patterns, but they offer textured vinyl in a variety of textures. I've got pebbled and the hex pattern mounted, and brushed aluminum is next. There's also a concrete surface texture that looks very interesting, but I can only find expensive rolls of the stuff.
I am amazed that they stand up to the heat but a bit of thought and the inside dash of a black car on a hot summer day can get well over 100c and the wrp materials need to tolerate thatThat's my thinking as well. I'm using them for PLA at around 60C. No bad smells, but I'd like to find something definitive that indicates they're not toxic indoors.
Here's another quick surface test using larger surfaces. I'm still working on the Live-Z calibration, as it seems more touchy with these patterns. Unfortunately, I wasn't very skilled at applying the textured surface, so you can see a few bubbles and some lint that accumulated.
The big pleasant surprise for me so far has been how good adhesion is. The stuff seems to grip when heated, yet parts pop off easily afterwards. I'm going to do a sequence of prints in the same spot to see how well it holds up, but for now, if I need a unique texture, there's an option available.
As for VOC's - I doubt anyone in the aftermarket industry worries about it nor has any data. In a car the temps can approach 150f, or 65c, I'd guess the glues are probably good for extended use at 60c. You could try using a particle meter near the plate as it heats, watch for any increase in PM2.5 (PM1 if you have it). Also, some of the cheapo meters have an organic sensor ...

Interesting. So you are heating it to 60c? Have you IR'd the surface to see what it really is sitting at?Not yet. I'm sure it's a bit cooler due to having put another material on the flip side. Results have been very good, and I'm happy to keep temps down if possible. I'm going to try going lower to test the limits. So far, with a few prints on each side, adhesion remains good.
