    if its for grpahic images, the go for cast vinyl rather than calandered.
    Transparent, white or coloured are good 751 series.
    I use europoint for the cast not had any problems.

    i dont have an edge but did run 751 through our thermal pc60 for years.
    we also used mactac 9800 over the same time. again no problems.
    oracal 751 seems to have a very flat even shiney surface that i think takes prints from thermal printers evry well.

    on another note, dave staden at print one thermal ribbons also uses allot of 751 to run through edge machines etc….

    Cheers Rob,

    I will give them a call. By the way Dave is on holiday and Janet in the office a Print one is not sure of the discount scheme available to us. However i got 10% discount for ordering with the solo card and and she said that any remaining discount will be aplied to my next order once she has confirmed details of it with Dave.

    By the way just did a test with some mirror silver their metallic foils are great!
