    i would start ringing some printers you will probably get laughed at if you put a price in based on doing it on your printer.
    imo

    Easier and cheaper to buy in Litho printed. The likes of Quinns will print on 130gsm gloss for just under £100 delivered.

    We use a product that ‘we’ call plastic paper. We get it from a company called Yuan Yuan in Coventry, it prints great on our sp540 & vp540 printers and costs about £40 for a 30m x 1m roll. It does take a while to dry though.
    Hope this helps
