    Hi all.

    I’ve a lorry to do and the owner is looking some printed images along with text on the PVC curtains.

    Is it possible to get full colour printed and laminated vinyl suitable for this?

    If the sizes work out I might be able to do it on the Gerber EdgeII if lamination is a problem. If inkjet then I’ll have to sub it out.

    Many thanks
    Kenny 🙂

    I don’t usually do this sort of work mate…But there’s no way I’d look at doing a truck curtain with a Gerber…Don’t they only print to 30" or so?

    298mm.

    They’re only small images. In fact just checked and they’re only slight over 1ft tall. Could see the ink from a Gerber splitting and discolouring with bending though.

    Thanks for the input.

    hi kenny
    never laminated the printed apa and its still looking good two years on

    Use Clearstar liquid laminate from Landor. (Google it).
    I use it on all my printed banners.
