    Posted by David Hammond on 27 September 2011 at 10:55

    I’ve recently started dealing with Spandex, and will be ordering some material from them over the coming weeks.

    They’ve kindly matched Metamarks £100 threshold for free delivery.

    I am after some poster paper, and its about £80 a roll. Rather than paying for deliver, I was planning on buying in a few meters of their 5700 Premium vinyl.

    I am used to using metamarks M7 vinyl, and it’s pretty damn good. I am only thinking of getting this in because I might as well spend £20.00 and have a little stock, than pay £10(ish) delivery for bugger all.

    What are peoples opinions of the 5700 and how does it compare to Metamark?

    only had small dealings with metamark all favorable but use IP5700 as my main stock vinyl and have done for many years.
    the film has developed over the years and is a great all rounder except wraping or deep indents. plus prints well with ecosolmax inks even on the colours.

    I dont use it – but applied some supplied by a customer the other day and it went down well even after coming through the post app taped and rolled up 😀

    We use a lot of 5700, it compares very well with Metamark 7 series (basically the same vinyl I believe)
    I rate it highly, great to apply, very forgiving and their Digital range prints well with ecosol ink as Chris says.
    Cuts and weeds nicely too.

    Fantastic. Looks like I am on.

    Just noticed I referred to Series 7 as M7 😳

    I tend to stock the longer last vinyl, as it can be used on anything without any major worries.

    Now to decide what colours to stock 🙄
