When loading outdoor calendered vinyl in the HP Latex 370 it asks for the subtrate category and media group/name. Does anyone know what the media group and name would be for this? I'd appreciate the help. UPDATE: I figured it out

anyone know where I can get a super vivid mirror chrome vinyl? I have used many brands over the years and have yet to come across a perfect mirror chrome look. It always has the simple ripple look because of the adhesive. And always has a dull finish (if you know what I mean) It is for boat...
