    I have a customer who wants in simple terms a magnetic drywipe board 900 x 600mm in size

    The problem comes about because he wants something printed on the board but to still be able to write on and wipe off.

    I’ve had a thought about this and come up with the following options:

    1) A normal magnetic drywipe board with a digital print applied – would this be possible to write on write off??

    2) Steel Coated card 0.75mm printed direct with inkjet then laminated with clear drywipe vinyl form hexis then put into a snap frame – is it possible to print direct to the steel coated card? and who might be able to do this?

    3) Sheet of steel with digital print – again would this be possible to write on write off??

    No.s 1 & 3 could again be laminated with the hexis dry wipe

    Any other ideas???

    Hi Lorraine

    Do you have to print the extra material?

    Last white board I customised I merely plotted the required componenets from vinyl and applied them to the white board.

    You would be able to write on a digitial print IF you used the correct marker – however the problem would be abraision when wiping it off or the fact that a permanant marker would “stain” the vinyl. Using a solvent which would work on a normal whiteboard to remove writing will kill a digital print in seconds.
    Best is to use a steel back , white vinyl digitally printed and a wipe off type lamination that is solvent proof. We have a white epoxy coated steel plate called Chromodek here in SA which would be the ideal substrate.

    Why not just get a magnetic board however you would normally then apply a digital print on clear vinyl then encapsulate with Hexis stuff?
