As I said in Brett's screen thread, I'm getting some very interesting screen material coming in.
My samples are not that far off unity, and they are a touch yellow...
I'll save you the trouble..
-------------------------------------
The company that sells this stuff (for pro-industrial use) is out of the province of Quebec, in Canada. They manufacture all of the IMAX screens. I wanted a sample of a manufacturer's product, and they referred me to these guys.
The manufacturer -of the vinyl I am looking at- had no other samples other than the small swatch they sent me. I was looking at getting a bunch as a supply for you folks when you buy screen paint, and then I have a quality vinyl to reccommend, and to sell you. The perforated stuff they supply is probably too improperly perforated for home screens. It was designed for maximum theatre IMAX set-ups, so the perforation size will definitely be off for almost all other use. Get a sample before you try and use this stuff for home theater.
*********
Try not to irritate these folks with bizzare little questions. They are NOT your HT helping hand, they just manufacture and sell screen material. Keep it simple and clean, and they will continue to supply a smaller market.
*********
I have to buy at the same place to get a sample of the vinyl product. That's their street price, I understand. And, that is in Canadian dollars.
------------------------------------
That's MDI Cinema. Can't remember their number off hand.
