Looking for Banner Material options

[Vinylman]

I am interested in finding alternative sources for 10oz. & 13oz. Vinyl banner material.

Anyone want to share feedback and sources [pricing if appropriate] for 54" x 50 yard rolls?

I am currently using Key Banner from Grimco, and just asking others what they like, and who their suppliers might be.

I am printing on a Mimaki JV-33 with EcoSol inks.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Vinylman, what are your customers requesting? What projects are 10oz and 13oz not the RIGHT solutions? What is the competition doing that causes you to question your solutions?

Thanks, But NO THANKS!

Actually you have perhaps read WAY TO MUCH into my simple request.

[1] I never let my customers request materials. I have 30 years experience in this field, and most customers are dumb as a box of rocks. So allowing them to "request" ANY substrate is an invitation for them to get lost. END OF THAT problem.

[2] Not exactly understanding your comment? But I make the choices based on what I discover by properly questioning the customer and making a valued decision based on my experience and the evidence provided.

[3] I NEVER "question" ANY of my solutions based on "competition" doing anything.

Thanks for ALL the replies. I am interested in getting [shop] perspectives as to what are you using, and what kind of pricing are you getting from your suppliers. As mentioned in my first request, I am currently using Key Banner from Grimco. I am just trying to ascertain IF there are any "cost effective" alternatives. East Coast to Midwest distributors are "probably" going to provide the best wholesale cost including delivery.
