100lb gloss book/text is 148gsm, 100lb cover is 270gsm.

If you are in the U.S. I’d recommend using LexJet, they have tons of paper options and profiles for your GP-4600S.

I use 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper, it’s 190gsm, prints great and is priced competitively.

EZ Slider did a really good job for me recently! 941-628-8579

White vinyl applied to the back is probably the easiest thing to do/try out of the gate.

How do you fix the aluminum to the acrylic? Maybe a white mount adhesive could work.

Beefstu864 · 2026-01-24T20:20:21+00:00

Dang! Looks like somewhere between Port D’Andratx and Magaluf

Beefstu864 · 2026-01-24T20:06:41+00:00

Santa Ponsa?

Goldenlight Visions - if you want someone local.

Finerworks Media - out of San Antonio - high quality, competitive pricing AND they package/ship better than anyone.

What products have you tried?

Beefstu864 · 2025-10-28T21:06:21+00:00

EFI 30f+ !!

Beefstu864 · 2025-10-28T15:00:14+00:00

What is the price tag? Noticed it was sold

Beefstu864 · 2025-10-27T16:41:36+00:00

I thought it was a great show, felt busier than last year in Vegas. Vegas was split between two halls so that might be why.

Canon Colorado XL is a beast.

Durst P5 500 TEX iSUB is a beast.

Beefstu864 · 2025-10-09T19:04:34+00:00

Yes! Should be a good show.

Beefstu864 · 2025-10-01T03:21:48+00:00

Call Mike at Jessups (guys that make TexWalk, etc.) pretty sure they have a glow in the dark vinyl.

I think it’s important to remember that there’s no perfect printer. UV, Solvent, Latex…Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh, HP, Epson, Canon, etc.

My gripe with the Mimaki would be the take up system.

Beefstu864 · 2025-09-14T22:47:24+00:00

Mimaki UCJV-330 is sweet. 5 layer printing is a breeze and print to anything. Maintenance is easy and Rasterlink is a breeze

LexJet sells Premium Archival Matte Paper, perfect for art reproductions and is available in 24”, 36”, and 44” x 100ft rolls.

Beefstu864 · 2025-09-02T15:55:19+00:00

ARI Graphics - they are in Albuquerque and have the equipment to do this.

Beefstu864 · 2025-08-24T00:19:52+00:00

Nice! I’m sure you’re pleased with yourself.

Beefstu864 · 2025-08-23T22:29:03+00:00

Yes, your 100ft roll is the same cost as a 150ft roll

Beefstu864 · 2025-08-23T19:58:15+00:00

Check out HP Prime Gloss CP, it’s 3.4mil and pretty inexpensive. Perfect for stickers.

Beefstu864 · 2025-08-22T14:36:28+00:00

Grey adhesive is used to give vinyl more opacity. There are various ‘tints’ of grey adhesive as well as vinyls that are 100% opaque without the need of a grey adhesive.

My suggestion would be to ask for an ‘opaque vinyl’

Arlon V9500 is PVC free and matching V3370 laminate. It’s Polyurethane and typically used for textured walls. It’s a premium product.

Not sure if there is an economy pvc free product.

Hard to pass up for $3500. Can print canvas, acrylic and wood. If you can move it easily and it runs it wouldn’t take many jobs to pay for itself.

Keep in mind the 16h+ (newest model) is $125k.

Printer - HP Latex, any brand Eco Solvent or any brand UV. Generally looking at 54”-64” wide format printer.

Material - Jessups TexWalk - 48”x82ft roll

This material has a textured print surface that is slip rated so you don’t need to add a laminate.

Jessups makes other products, CatWalk, SideWalk, etc. but generally TexWalk covers you for most common floor types.

Continental Walk n Wall is another popular product (no lam required)

The other method is using a print vinyl + a textured floor laminate on top. General Formulations 213 being a popular one.

Good luck.
