I know I've seen it before but can't remember when or where.
Can somebody help me out?

the specs say that's UV ink only. The search continues.

I use TriSolv also. Great stuff. For double sided posters, I run a block out scrimless vinyl or UltraFlex double sided PET.

Looked into it a while back and was told it's not for solvent.
I'll look into the sihl stuff.

Would a supersmoothe double sided banner do the trick?

Yeah that's what I figured. This particular application would be a double sided map that would be used on a tv show. I would have to be able to fold it up like a map too. And of course, they would like something thin like a real map would be.
I always get a kick out of these "tv" people. I've often said that the camera will never pick up the fact that the paper is a little thicker than usual. They come back with "it's also for the actors" and I think to myself - You're getting paid to act. Act like the paper is thiner than it actually is!

Hmmm you could use a thin tyvek or you could print on a light weight fabric so you could fold it easily. I would do a dye sub fabric, is it the same image fromt and back?

Not sure what the image would be. Probably something different on both sides though. I'm thinking of printing on blueback paper (it's pretty thin) and than sticking it together.

Sorry to go offtopic, but is that the Roland blueback matte paper you're referring to? If so, how is it? Was thinking of ordering some.

I'm not sure, but I think all the blue backs are manufactured by the same company (Johny Red or something or other) and relabelled. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This particular stuff comes from a company called Pony graphics here in Canada. Print quality is ok and dark colours tend to take a bit of time to dry but it is super cheap. It's great for cheapo short term outdoor stuff as long as your comfortable working with wallpaper paste. Just soak the paper with water, roll some glue onto the surface and some on the paper and slap it down. Carefull though, it seems to stretch quite a bit after it's been soaked. Both horizontally and vertically.
Here's a few shots of some stuff I did for the show Smallville a few years back. they actually last outdoors for a ridiculously long time. We start rolling varnish on them to help protect them and they just seemed to last forever. These sets have since been torn down.

The Blox-Lite media does not image well with any solvent ink that I know of, and Converd does not recommend solvent ink with this product. Latex and UV-Curing inks work well with it.
