Is there a 3M product chart?

[Gene@mpls]

My Midwest rep was in with a 3M rep yesterday (with samples rolls). We are
the home of 3M (Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing) and I have used 3M
products all of my working life. We use mainly Gerber(3M) premium vinyls for
cut and edge printing (Arlon for 24" as they seem to match their colors to 3M).
After studying the boards prior to our first SP300 purchase years ago, I went
with Triangle Inx and Orajet/ Oraguard for inkjet printing- never regretted
either. But... my mind has been straying to 3M- they are late to the party with
quality calendered print vinyl which we use mostly- but they are coming out
with comparable products now with lower price points it seems. It is hard to
compare one line to the other- I am used to the nice charts that Oracal uses.
Has anyone found something comparable for 3m products- my head is about to
burst with all the new numbers etc. Please help an old fart out. Gene

Gene,
We orderd some samples and talked to 3M direct. We asked for as much info as possible and this is what they sent (picture bleow).
These tell you everything form types of vinyl, printers supported to appliction deatails. We are going to be switching on our next order.
Give them a call direct and tell them you want all info they have. If you have further questions call the tech line at 18003283908. The guy from 3m told us if we have anything we dont understand call that number.
Good luck

This is all I have also... I agree with late to the game approach with the cheap calendared vinyl? Maybe sometime this spring when it gets warm I'll do a tour of the 3M Museum where 3M originally started. I live only a couple blocks from it.

Thanks guys- cptcorn- I got some great shots of the 2719 (steam locomotive)
in Two Harbors this fall- also toured the Congdon mansion. Had to stay at the
Black Bear Casino- but the rest of the weekend was nice. Gene
