    Posted by Dan Osterbery on 22 May 2009 at 09:09

    Hello All,
    we have just been visited by the new Spanish rep for mac tac, what are everyone opinions on this vinyl?? We have never used them before and they have some good introductory prices, and I would like some thoughts!!!!

    I have asked for samples, but would appreciate any input!!

    thanks

    Dan

    The 9800 is as good as any calendered vinyl, but overpriced here.
    🙁

    Hi Dan, the Mactac vinyls are nice to handle, but I don’t use them much because they cost a lot more than many other decent brands. If you are getting a good deal I’d say ‘go for it!’

    We use 9800 too, and like it.

    John – we get good prices from Pyramid. Who do you get your prices from?

    Allprint Supplies. I’ve not looked at a price comparison because we only buy two colours for a client who specifies 9800, but I’ll try Pyramid next time we need to order.

    As it stands, Allprint want to charge us roughly double what we currently pay for Avery 700.

    We only use mactac now, good price and easy to use with a great range of colours.

    We print on the JT grey backed which is pretty good but not as good as the MD% in our opinion

    Cheers

    We use 9800 on pretty much everything and also get it from Pyramid. Used it for years and havnt really tried anything else but i am slowly being tempted by other vinyls like Oracal and Avery.
