    Lightweight vinyl?

    Morning,

    I've been using TMT 123 flex and 123 premium flex for most of our vinyl pressing. I now have a job that has a large design, single colour, on the the back that the 123 proves too heavy for (it's around 40cm wide x 50cm). Does anyone recommend a lighter weight vinyl that might work better or should we be looking at screen printing?
    Thanks
    Nemo

    it doesn't look like TMT do a lighter weight vinyl..looking for recommendations for other products that others might have had a good experience with. The only the other I've tried is Rala Flex which is much the same..I've been waiting more than a week for samples from another supplier..

    I think Siser have introduced a super thin printable vinyl. Look it up on their website as they may have the same for solid colours.

    Siser is sold by Grafitype and will be a decent product.

    Have you tried mdp flex? I used some to list what I do on the back of a 3xl t-shirt it goes full length side to side nearly doesnt feel any heavier to wear than a normal t-shirt. Might be worth asking them if they can supply you with a sample even if its no good you have it for future reference.

    Many thanks for the recommendation, I've just asked for a sample...
