    Have you got samples of their vinyls? If so try a little bit of each in your plotter and see how it cuts and weeds. Then make your decision.
    I use Metamark most of the time but also use bits of Oracal and Mactac too. It’s all personal preference. I’ve always had a good service from my Metamark distributor and Europoint Glasgow are always easy to deal with.

    Ease of use + cost + service……………. different for everyone.

    Adrian, try a search on the boards because this question was asked quite recently so you will get an answer quicker that way.
    Basically it’s as Marcella has said, there isn’t one vinyl that all signmakers find the best. It comes down to what you find the best for yourself, easy to rush in and order vinyl from one supplier and then find a few weeks latter that you actually prefer a different brand because you find it easier to weed or apply.
    Contact all the suppliers and ask for samples so you can try plotting, weeding and applying for yourself. Takes a bit longer I know but it is worth it in the long run.
