Looking for a poly material replacement

Hi everyone! I've been using Sihl 3471 (https://www.sihlinc.com/technologies/superdry/) for years but I am unable to get it any longer from my supplier (Spicers). Sihl has only been white boxing it to them but something has gone horribly wrong with the product and the finish on it always comes with imperfections in it now. Basically looking for a similar poly material that is grey backed that can print on an aqueous printer preferably in a satin or gloss finish. I'm currently using a "Roll up gloss film" from canon but I literally bought every box the supplier had and they said they aint bringing more in ever again (https://www.perfectprint.ca/Canon_Roll_Up_Gloss_Film_240gsm_p/can1429v464oem.htm). I've tried a few other things here and there but a lot of them leave track marks in the ink when printing....

To boot I'm in Canada so my suppliers suck but at this point I'm willing to fly to the land of the brave and drive it back if I have to.

Nothing like losing a source for one of your go-to materials! Ah, the joys of being in Canada.

Have you looked into any of ND's (PolyBrite) or Nekoosa's offerings? https://www.ndgraphics.com/products/materials-supplies/banners-textiles-roll-ups/pet-poly.html

At first glance I didn't see anything that was aqueous compatible but there must be something out there.

Good luck with the search!

Yeah we've talked to ND but they don't seem to do much with aqueous medias. Tried some "natura" which is something similar to nekoosa but it was no bueno.

Never go against the family
Big Systems out of WI has a pretty big selection of blockout films for roll-ups. They do have the grey backed, use that all the time, prints fantastic, but I think all the aqueous is white front & back. Don't know how difficult it is to ship stuff from down here, but here's their link. https://bigsys.com/main/index.php

maybe just contact 2-3 "aqueous banner media" suppliers in canada and see what their options are? accordbanners.com pops up on the googles amongst a few others.
