    Hi,

    I am looking for a 1220mm roll of red/yellow 50mm reflective chevrons.

    Grafityp are out of stock and it is 6 weeks before they will have them in.

    Anyone know of an alternative supplier?

    Thanks

    John

    I tried that before Hugh……….didn’t work well.

    These go in 200mm deep strips between wheels on vans that are in quarries regularly so they take a pounding from the terrain and also power washers.

    would laminate not deal with the washing etc??

    I had printed reflective (unlaminated) on my van for two years, BP carwash at least once a week and no noticable deteriation was visible.

    maybe worth a shot?

    have printed and clear over refective even double clear on a dumper as long as flat and the edges are short of the panel end should be fine.

    I tried printing red onto some Oralite 5400 that I have in stock but without success.

    What reflective material can be printed on?

    Thanks
