Talk:Vinyl banner

I am the original author spammer....

My writing was vandalized by a self promoting site: www.thispersonisamoron.org spaces included to avoid giving them the back link they were trying to steal from my website, "moronicspammer.com". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.226.107.160 (talk • contribs)

Linking to a commercial website is not appropriate as Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. A better approach would be to find a published source for the information, perhaps in an industry website such as the two that remain in the article, and link to it instead.

A Grand Format Load of Bull

I'm removing this part:

"grand format inkjet printers" of >3,000 m (9,800 ft) width"

Someone who feels like tracking down a printer that's 1.85 miles wide and any actual use of a banner that large (which should be visible on google maps) and has a reference can feel free to re-add it, but dear god, use some common sense. If they meant 9800' long, I still have doubts about whether any signage printer can feed a roll of vinyl that size since they claimed single piece of material and the hardware to handle flat unrolling and re-rolling of a pointlessly narrow 9' wide 9800' long banner which weighs 5500lb minimum is likely far more expensive than the floating printhead arrangement over a flat bed that this kind of printer typically uses.

All the refs are now gone. The one apparently academic resource threw a "predatory open access journal" warning when I tried to post it with a proper DOI ref instead of the researchgate URL, so I'm guessing they only left out the DOI in the first place to sneak it past that filter. Everything else on the page was a link to a pseudo-informational marketing blog / page on a sign printer's website, and none of them belong here.
