Ryont inkjet films

[Rockers]

Has anyone here an idea who is making the inkjet films for Ryonet.I assume they just buy of some other brand and get them relabled. Any users on the board here?

Not sure but they are way too expensive on film thats for sure.

What brand do you get?

inkjetfilm.net is the best we have tried, and Cameron is a cool guy!

Vote for inkjetfilm.net as well.  It's about half the price of Ryonet.

So far, best price, best service, great film for us is Brad at Maverick. Unbeatable price on 17x22 100 pack of inkjet film. Rocker, take a pic of the package and label of the film from Ryo. The one we get from Maverick is made by the same company that another place we used to get film from private labels, made for an easy transition from one supplier to another. Brad also gives personal service where the supplier we used to buy from was web based. Basically, I'd rather support someone who goes out of their way to give support.

Careful with that statement.  Support whoever you like, I have no problem at all with that, but unbeatable is a powerful word.  LOL

we may be hitting critical mass on film suppliers.  There can be only so many "low price" places.

There will be as many suppliers as the market bares I would assume.  Just like Screen Printers.  LOL

It will be interesting to see just how much margin there is and how low prices can go if film wars break out.
That's where screen suppliers may lose the edge to manufacturers and importers.

Also interesting will be if there will be any push to pay a little more for American made.

I am all for buying american at some level of a premium.  I do believe at some point though you have to really consider how much it is costing you.  There is cost and then there is retarded.  LOL.

Until it's your customers that are going overseas.

Well, there are things you can do to stop that as well.  Like not be over priced, slow, or put out crap product.  If I manage to put out a great product at a great price with great customer service then I have done all I can do.  I think its clear if some people are 2x the price as others on films then someone marking up their product way to much.

Got a call last week for printing polypropylene bags in the 10K/1 color range. Gave him my best
price and I'm still ten times the cost for the same thing in China, and I knew it.

We would likely produce a better product at a much shorter lead time but for some that
does not matter.

Fella lacked the wherewithal not to ask why we're so much more. I asked him if he wanted
to work for Chinese wages in America...
