    We have had good results print wise on the material from Grafityp but find that it cracks very easily, and with the cold weather coming on its not good in the cold.
    so looking for another that can be printed on with a Roland.

    i had some from sign-master martin, the quality was pretty good, cant remember the price off hand though, i have had some cheaper ones that I’ve purchased on line and there is defo a difference in the quality, i print on a mimaki so i presume it would be pretty much the same on a Roland,
    hope this helps

    hi Martin

    I do like the grafityp one, but like you found it cracked when stretching in the cold. I used just a bit of gentle heat when the temp dropped. Could you not try that rather than swapping altogether?

    Amari do one very similar to the grafityp but cant remember the name. They do send out a reasonable sized sample to have a play with though. Might be worth a look too.
