Lexjet Media for HPL25500??

[Suz]

I'm looki'n for some reviews on the Lexjet Medias...

Anybody have any experience with this Co's materials?

Specifically, I'm looking for a good printable calendered clear and also a white adhesive material for doing stickers, window decals, outdoor sign boards, that type of thing.

I found their Item: SAV554g - 5 mil, PRICED AT $122.00 FOR 54"X150FT.
The description does not say if it is clear or white, but I will call them Monday.

Also, looking at their UV overlaminates for the above mentioned materials.
They have: Elite Luster UV Vinyl Laminate, 3.2 mil, 51x150ft - $316.00
It's calendered, costs more than the printable medium. Wow!

What do you think?

One great thing about LexJet is you can order the media and try it and if it does work for you they will take it back and give you credit.

I would also look at Grimco and Advantage Sign Supply for this type of material.

Try Grimco...I forgot exactly the name of it but I've used something similar with the L25500 with success

 

[HulkSmash]

Grimco has their briteline line...which is good for the money

It's about $120 for a 54x150ft roll of white adhesive vinyl.
and then like $160 for the lam.

Or you can give me a shot, my SGV 5 Mil works great in the latex and is only $85 for 54"x150' roll. My UV Laminate 54"x150' is also only $95.62 same thing with me if you dont like the product you get a full refund.

 

[BigfishDM]

Oh the SGV is white

Hey Josh.

Can you get that laminate in a 30"? I have a ton of labels to make and I like the setup with printing/cutting on 30" media. I see the 30" vinyl in your price guide but not the laminate.

I can do 30" but you have to take 2 at a time so I can just cut the 61" rolls in half.

Could you get me a shipping quote for 6 rolls of the 30" vinyl and 3 rolls of the 61" laminate (cut to 30" each)?

Is there any way I could get a sample of these to see what they are like right away?

 

[BigfishDM]

I can send you some 8.5x11 to see what they look like on prints, you will not use another brand once you have tried this stuff.

The sooner I can see a sample, if you can have a printed one off a L25500 would be great, the better as I need to decide and get this stuff ordered as soon as possible.

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks for all the great info here, you are all the BEST!!!
Josh, I'm very interested in what you have... Please send me some printed samples too, from the Latex if you can. I'd like to see the printed sample with and without the laminate. Thanks so much!!!

Josh - Do you have any Clear Printable Media?

Oh the SGV is white

Forgot to ask...Josh, I am interested in the white for sure. But do you have any Clear?
