  • advice needed on Curtain Sider digital media?

    I have a client, who wants to photographic prints on to the side of his truck. The dimensions of each panel are 600 x 2440, the particular curtains are the ones you see on a block truck and are not opened and closed at all. They are just there for appearance sake to hide the metal grid that holds in the load.

    I have spoken with Robert Horne and they reckon if I use a good quality vinyl and tension the curtains there should not be a problem. I think it sounds like a good idea.

    Has anyone else tried this?? Or any comments please

    If they are Curtains it would need to be something like Avery SignFlex if I remember the name rightly. its a B*****d to fit, dont think general vinyl would last.

    You can use digital printed banner material as they have no use other than cosmetic. This is more than enough.

    We fitted (or tried to) a small truck using Avery SignFlex 2200. Vinyl never stuck to the surface hard enough, couldn’t even peel the application tape. We ended up trashing the whole thing and cutting it in a diffrent vinyl. I’m not a big fan of Avery SignFlex.
