    Hello All.

    Has anyone used this stuff called "Ready 2 Printer Banner" in their solvent printers.

    It pre-eyeleted with welded hems. Does this go through a printer without the print head hitting the eyelets and damaging the heads.

    Looks a good way of making cheap quick banners for customers in a rush

    I would think you will get an expensive head strike if you used it. Stick to the proper banner material. If customer wants a cheap banner then just eyelet and don’t hem, if they want a hem then they have to pay the extra.

    Just been looking at the product on victory’s site. even though they claim thin hems and thin eyelets I still would not risk it in an expensive printer. Also you would not be able to completely cover with print so would have to leave a white bleed on top and bottom, the price makes it not a cheap banner, maybe quick but not cheap, it is 3.5+ times dearer than the banner material I buy.

    I have used the Ready to print banner, but I got mine from VL in Newark.
    I have a Roland 540 Pro 11, I did not believe it until I tried it and although it is more expensive it does have a really professional finish to it, you can’t use it if you only have a Versacam or caddet as you can’t adjust the heads on those machines but as long as you put you heads on the High setting it is perfect I would recommend it it saves me loads of time I don’t have to mess about with hemming or eye letting! I can produce another job in the time it takes do finish a banner off!

    Dave,

    How high do the heads have to go? I can adjust the head height on a versacamm.
