Hi everyone,

I've noticed a few posts on the forum from people printing membership cards and parking hangers on 20mil PVC using dry toner printers. I've been searching for a supplier for this material but haven't had any luck so far.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
 
MGX makes a 20mil, but it's not compatible with your model. 20 mil is incredibly thick, only the Indigo is actually rated for that thickness according to their spec sheet. I think you'd probably want to outsource something like that, or settle for 15mil.
 
Yes, i reached out to MGx and they said that the 20mil works great with our C7500 so I will try it out.

I was hoping there are others as well

From their Website:

Category: Plastic Sheets
Rigid PVC film is calendered by pressing polyvinyl chloride compound through a series of rollers. The thickness is controlled by the spacing between the rollers and the surface of the film can be made to be smooth or matte depending on the embossing of the finishing rollers. After leaving the calendering rollers the plastic film passes over a series of cooling and conditioning rollers. It is then either wound into rolls or cut into flat sheets.
Rigid PVC film can be formulated for printing. The uniform surface and the consistent gauge control of the film provides an excellent finish for 4 color LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING and SCREEN PRINTING. The printed rigid vinyl film are usually made into credit/ID cards, signs, labels, nursery tags, labels, etc. The product is available in both sheet and roll stock.

They’re a very large company that manufactures PVC materials for a variety of industries. Here’s another link. Now getting through to the right person may be a whole other story. That I can’t do much for you.
