    Europoint do one, can’t remember the code but Cammy should know. We bought some a while back, printed it and it worked fine.

    Client bought in the stuff direct from Europoint and we printed on the Grenadier.

    I will run a test with other files but this is the best printed black i have seen off the Grenadier to date!

    Job was a print and form cut label white and black so no idea how the other colours will come out.

    Will let you know how it prints.

    Thanks for the help
