I am wanting to get into printing on fabric that can be used for sewing projects. I have a 54" HP 315 latex printer. I need a textile that can be sewn and washed. I have a customer wanting to make purse linings among other things. I would prefer material that can be used without the ink catcher...

As everyone else has alread pointed out, there appears to be shortages on different types of vinyl across the board! And as such, I had to resort to buying a 60" roll of some vinyl that I needed to complete an important job. I bought a 60" roll with the intentions of cutting it in half and...

Hi Everyone, I have a request to replace an outdoor sign and I'm wondering what the best material to use is. I'm attaching a couple pics of the current one (I did not make the original sign). Seems to be some type of wood or something? Sign will be 48"x15" applied flat against wood above a...

Need help, I need a material that I can laser cut without having the yellowing effect. I need a film that is between .010 and .030 thick; it needs to be clear with a matte, velvet or frosted finish so that you can still see through it. We are currently using Grafix Dura-lar .020, and it works...
