  Thanks Dave. Looks interesting, still not sure why it’s not been pushed under us signmakers noses?
  I must be missing something (apart from my brain, that is 🙄 )

  But the spec says pigmented inks are UV stable, and suitable for outdoor use? Prints would be laminated anyway, as solvents would be, so not sure if this is a drawback or not.

  Don’t pigmented inks require coated media, wheras solvent/eco solvent will print on anything.
