I have a poster job and looking for some suggestions. The quantity is 650 posters, 24x36" with two grommets at the top corners. The client is looking to hang these from the ceiling. Due to the short turnaround, I think this job may be a little too big for my HP Latex printer (it would take about 6+ rolls of 54x150'). I've thought about sending it to an offset printer to get the posters printed and then adding grommets to the printed posters. I'm not even sure if grommets are the best solution here. Just looking for some suggestions.

That is not that crazy to run off your machine. For the grommets I would use those things from Banner-Ups, or instead of paper, use a polypropylene and then the grommets will work on that. I have super aggressive pricing on poster paper if you go that route of printing yourself. I also have rolls of 54"x100' of polypro for like $85 if you need any price reference.
BigFish, I think if I had the time, I would try doing them here but 6+ rolls of paper would probably take 2-3 days to run + cut. Then add another day or two for the grommets.

Talk the customer out of grommets, and go to Outwater Plastics! https://www.outwater.com/sign-and-banner-holders/ They have exactly what you need to hang those posters. You can also get a wholesale account to 4over.com and get those printed for $1.10 on 100 lb card stock, and while they are doing the work you can use your printer for the smaller jobs.
