Banner type material........................

[Gino]

Had a customer come in today wanting some banners made on a material that is cloth like, but not scrim banner. This is for a trade show display and they want to be able to fold, roll or scrunch up the banners after the show and the next time they get them out, there will be no wrinkles whatsoever. The banners are virtually wrinkle free and won't crack or anything if not rolled up properly. They have no control over the installers as the installers are generally supplied on site and DO NOT take care of other people's property.

We have the ability to flatbed print or eco-sol ink. However, we cannot sublimate.

Any idea of the materiel to use ??


The banners are to be 3' x 16.5' single sided. There are 24 banners this size, all exactly alike.

What they are describing (the part about absolutely no wrinkles whatsoever after abusing the media) probably does not exist. The closest options to that goal would be Dye Sub or Latex for polyester textile, but you are not running either of those inks. You could always outsource to a wholesaler who does but I'm sure that you know that already.

Assuming that your flatbed is using UV-curing ink, I would investigate possibly running Berger Samba through the flatbed. Samba prints surprisingly nicely with the VUTEk UV-Curing inks that I have seen.

There are no terribly good textile options for eco-solvent ink in my opinion. The coatings necessary for solvent ink destroy the hand (feel) and drape of the textile in most cases. Those coatings also tend to collect dirt, and cause major issues with highly visible fold marks after they have been improperly folded for storage.

WHEN MY NAZDAR REP WAS HERE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO THEY SAID THEY HAVE SOME FABRICS THAT YOU CAN SOLVENT PRINT ON. THIS MAY BE THE STUFF FOR YOU.
OTHER THAN THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SUB OUT SOME DYE SUB PRINTING. I HAVEN'T USED IT BUT MAYBE THEY CAN GET YOU SOME SAMPLES TO TEST

Thank you...........

They brought the banner in and we saw first hand..... it does exist, but my assumption was it was dye sub also, but we don't have that capability. Therefore, I am looking for something as close as possible, unless there are dye sub people on the forum interested in quoting me.

digifab.com - they are fabric converters - among other things, they'll find what you looking for.

We can print these dye sub for you. Shoot me an email with detail and finishing Spec. I will then get you some very competitive pricing.
