It is very much sign industry dedicated. Vinyl isn't a substrate
you would like to use for your prints. I've never understood why
they didn't use it on polyester sheets or paper. Ilford announced
a similar concept about two years ago but it is still in the labs
I guess. Asked them at the last Photokina but nothing will be
released soon.
