Banner material

[salazar]

Hey guys newbie here, ok so I just bought me a used Roland versacamm sp-300 and wanted to know what type of banner material I would need to print on it, I don't think I can use regular banner can I. Also do I get it from fellers?

I want to say grimco will cut a larger roll down to 30" if needed.

ask for someone who knows what they are talking about. that is ridiculous.

I went through a lot of rolls that my printer didnt like. I know that matte the ink sticks better to. But i had good luck with zeelon on my vp 540

I've had good luck with Ultraflex Jetflex on my Roland. Better drying times than the cheaper brand my supplier stocks.

I have good luck with Arlon 13 oz and 15 oz block out with my roland. The Eco ink scratches easy so i laminate with 210. Makes for a pretty durable banner that I can hem and grommet without worry of scratching.

I use the double sided banner from Fellers--- cut down to 30.5" -- it just fits in the machine this way and leaves a bit extra for hemming. Yes its cut with an oridinary miter saw and a medium tooth blade. Dont cut it all at once the blade will get hot-- Once done, use a lighter lightly around the cut end to burn the few hairs off.

we too have had the best luck with Arlon, tried the ultra series...... turned out to be ultraSUXX

as far as scratching the ink, once the ink is cured (24hrs) we don't have that issue

We love the 13 oz. matte white banner material from Sign-mart.com. The colors look great and they're quite durable.
