I am printing one today. First time on the L25500, so I'm not sure how it will hold up. We sew the hem using a double hem tape that we get from the local fabric store. Punch grommets with no problems. I'm curious to see how the ink will hold up. I've used several on my solvent printer but never have achieved the results I was really expecting. I'm sure it has something to do with the profiles. Apollo Flag is one product we use with good results. My test today looks fine, so we'll see how the end result looks in a couple of weeks after flying for a while.

Cool! Let me know how it works out. Really interested in giving this a try. Does the material cut well without any fraying?

I would doubt it will hold up outdoor, I printed several table drapes on our 25500. After a few uses they put it in a washing machine, came out looking like acid washed jeans.
