Flag material

Hey everybody, I'm needing a printable material that could be used as a flag. I can get in a nylon flag and just heat press the thing but it has WAY too much detail to make it worth our time to try that. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions on it. The flags are 3"x5"

I'm not sure if you sublimate, but that is what we find works the best for flags.

We use a material for flags made by 3P textiles. It give us the best back side print of any other we have tried with the vp-540. It is very white also FR rated. It is all we use now for digital and sublimated outdoor flags.

I look forward to seeing your photos.  How do you charge for making flags and what size are you limited to on this material.

So, you print directly onto the flag material with your VP 540...  Thats is awesome-I had a customer asking about flags awhile ago.  Thanks!!

Yes, you print diretly on it. It has a backing paper to keep the ink from getting on your printer. You will need to play with icc profiles and heat some to develop the look you are after. Shawn Jaycox at Lexjet is very helpful, almost as helpful as Steve Jackson has been but Steve is certainly a unique case.

Rich - haven't heard from you in a while. How is that project coming (covers)?

 

 

Thanks for the compliment!

Hi Steve,

 

My son who is the project manager for the covers has undergone a lot of medical activity and has barely been in for quite some time. Coinceditially, I spoke with my sewing machine salesman just this afternoon about the covers and he put me in touch with a master commercial seamstress and look forward to continuing development soon.. On another note, the EZ WEED Magic Powder, which literally "lights" up impossible to see cuts on vinyl has undergone all tests for toxicity and EPA standards and is just about ready to bottle up. It's so nice not to have to wear my glasses and no more headaches when weeding hard to see lines, it appears like magic and makes weeding fun again. Patents are applied for and look forward to sending you a bottle from the first batch for your input  -  Rick

 

PS  The hood of my car  Lincoln Cartier Series Town Car is being wrapped tomorrow with Arlon. I am anxious to install. Our horrendous weather and now flooding has literally halted our wrap stream, they are all gonna want it done the same day, I see it coming now. Will be in touch

Richard, EZ WEED Magic Powder sounds wonderful!  I have a terrible time weeding some days.  I'll be very interested to see this product.

Hi Richard,

 

What would you suggest as the starting profile to use?  Thus far, I'm finding nothing with regards to 3P and media profiles, and am anxious to get at least my first test print off the roll!

 

Thanks!
