john_e2 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 <p>I'm planning on printing banners on scrim vinyl on my epson 7890 for local sports teams. the banners are displayed indoors either in the gym or in the halls. I know banner shops print on vinyl with solvent inks and printers, however, the scrim vinyl is suppose to work with aqueous and pigmented inks. does anyone have experience with this? will I need to spray the banner to keep it from fading? <br> Thanks for the help.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsimmons Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 <p>I use an Epson 11880 with the same ink and I don't have a problem with fading. I have a piece under fluorescent lighting for a couple of years and it still looks vibrant. You could look into a different vinyl. I use <a href="http://www.magicinkjet.com/product.php">Magiclee PPM7</a> all the time. It's flat, no tooth like scrim. I set the paper to Double Weight Matte. Works like a charm. I also use Phototex which is an adhesive low tacked back. Stick 2 from Magiclee is pretty good adhesive back too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 <p>I printed some (under frame glass) outdoor booth signage for a friend on my old R1800 years ago and it's still in use. Yeah, Ultrachrome is pretty durable.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
