...my Roland Swatch book shows a "Polysilk Soft Cloth" media (designated at 12mil) it has a liner to be removed after the print....

I'll get the material name we use from work tomorrow. Very nice rich colors - it's a bit like printing perf in that you have to up the saturation to get bright colors. There is no two sided that I know of but when that's required we just back them up together and sew a lockstitch on ye olde home sewing machine. They do need to be hemmed that way too - or at least we do.

2nd that about the VP-540 and flags. We get nearly 100% reverse side print with our Roland. It does however take a lot of messing around with heat settings, media type settings, unidirectional, number of passes and the like. Took us almost a year of trying different things before we got what we consider damn near perfect.

Okay... material I'm using is Sign Supply's house brand. Seem to get a good, clean print-through on them....
