I’ve just done similar tests recently, but not with a print.

Got the following info from of this site and with own experiments.

If you want to do dry wipe, either get a clear dry-wipe laminate called ProTac Scribe or similar, but also anti-graffiti film works.

Alternatively Liquid Chalk pens. They are great. They mark anything shiny and are resistant to rain if used outside and can be easily rubbed off with a damp rag. I recently made a blackboard and found that the best thing for liquid chalk pens was good old normal black vinyl. Graffiti laminate good also, but dry-wipe vinyl not so good at accepting some colours, and banner vinyl left some ghosting marks.

Anyway, that’s what i’ve found, make sure you get specific info on what pens exactly your client wants to use. I’d try and persuade them to use liquid chalk pens, big range of colours available, and then you can just use any clear vinyl or laminate.

Hope this helps 🙂
