    Roland use Metamark for all their testing & profiling, so profiles etc are really good for that media. I use oracal on my Roland soljet again profiles downloaded from Roland.net, so either is a good starting point.

    Although I have a solvent Cadet…

    I’ve been very impressed with the Arlon 5yr (air escape/grey back)…also comes with a matching overlaminate.

    I’ve gone through many rolls of this – it being my vinyl media of choice given the excellent printing results and utter ease of application.

    I started out on Mactac Imagin – which was also a good vinyl, but I feel I get a better result on the Arlon.

    Banner media – can’t go far wrong with the Sayong ‘premium’ and ‘budget’ range. Prints beautifully and has a good internal weave for strength.

    Roll-up, not done any in-house.
