Inexpensive paper/vinyl for eco solvent targets?

[Bigcat_hunter]

So we print and sell zombie targets on a large format HP ink jet printer. It's water based ink and expensive. The paper is cheap though. I would really like to print these on my eco solvent printer because the ink last so long but I can't find an inexpensive media to print on. These targets are 24" x 36" and people just shoot them so we don't need anything heavy duty or premium quality.

Does anyone sell an inexpensive media that would work for this? We retail the 24" x 36" targets at $3.00 each and would like to sell them for about 1/2 that price. My only other option is to sub them out to an offset printer. We can get them down to $0.35 each but we have to buy many thousands at a time and are not ready to do that.

So you want to print one off posters for $0.25 sq/ft? The media is the least of your worries, the ink alone even with bulk ink will cost you that, not to mention your time to trim each poster!

this might be one of these situations where it's just not worth your time! either sub it out to an offset printer or pass

It's actually very light ink coverage. It's just grey and some red. Not full color coverage. The ink would go a long way.

How many of the same thing are you planning on selling ??

Offset if the quantity is there, or butcher paper?

That's 1500 sq.ft. at $00.023 cents per sq.ft.

Running ANY inkjet solvent or not the time running time will cost more than the paper....Have a load ran on an offset.
