General Use Print Media? HP VS MetaMark?

Looking to change our general use Print Media.
The currently used Media was discontinued and need a replacement.

Has anyone used the
  • HP Prime Gloss Air GP
  • HP Optimal Gloss Air GRP
  • Metamark MD3A-B
  • Metamark MD5A-B
These 2 products are listed as they come with free shipping

Is there another option that has been tested / liked by others?
Specifically anyone from the South, as the Sun is killer for us.

printing on a Roland, using OEM CMYKLmLc

was hoping to avoid the drawn out testing that we went through previously and getting stuck with a corner full of sample rolls.

Thanks for the input

Metamark MD3A-B is an excellent all-rounder. We use it as one of our main vinyls.
White point is great, blockout is good, never had a bad roll since we started stocking it.
Matching laminate silvers for the first few days (even with heat assist) however it does go away eventually.

What price range are you at, I have some great vinyls and a location in Texas.

we love the MD5 a B but we are in the UK as said laminate could be improved a little but as the overhaul performance being excellent we can forgive it that. been through a few others and happy to pay a little extra over others for proven performance.
