  2. Most versatile entry level roll to roll printer

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge but are all of these printers able to print on banner material? Textile material, like fabric for pillows, canvas for artwork?

  5. 3M™ MCS™ Warranty for Traffic Printer question

    So it sounds like to me if we want to be a player in the DOT sign industry, the HP365 is a good place to start. It will allow us to print other products as well, like banners and vinyl.
