  • Vinyl for Chalk type A Board

    Posted by Gordon Forbes on 19 March 2011 at 07:42

    I have a customer who wants an A board done and she wants to keep her original one.
    Its the type you write on with chalk would vinyl stick to this surface with a thorough clean? Special Hi Tack vinyl or at best new A board.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Gordon

    I have put vinyl on chalkboard many times successfully. As you would expect, it will need to be chalk-free as it is used, but otherwise I have just used good vinyl.

    Gordon,

    Why not fix a panel (composite/foam etc) with the graphics on top of the existing blackboard panels?

    Thanks for your help will be 751 or Oracal print.
    Thought about the panel option too will speak to her about it.
    I got some hi tack print vinyl from a supplier for labels and it has turned out to be horrible stuff always deforms under heat no matter what I do and it touches the heads when printing its going in the bin

    Sounds like it’s got damp at some point unless it’s a real quirk of that material.
