    I’ve an enquiry from a customer, who’s had these done in the past (don’t know where from)

    They want a poster printing 1300x2500mm, onto a paper, that they then apply magnets to it.

    Apparently it’s a thin sheet of steel, with a paper covering.

    I can’t find a supplier of the material wide enough (or even printer) for this job.

    Anybody any ideas where I can get this from?

    Installed plenty of ‘posters’ that are made of super thin magnetic sheet. Printed direct then applied to existing display panels (with embedded steel) in places like Monsoon.

    Never seen it on paper & steel…that sounds daft.

    Yep I’ve seen the magnetic posters, in Lloyds TSB, where the poster sticks to the display.

    Apparently they’ve had these before (so I don’t know why they’re coming to me for them)

    Not sure if they have what you are looking for but very helpful with me in the past.

    Cheers

    I’ve seen it in a catalogue recently, I think it might be Dorotape….

    If I remember rightly it is by Drytac – try a google for Drytac ferro
