does anyone have a tried and true dry erase laminate to suggest, for use over a large format print?

Does any who might say yes to the first question, know if there is one that can be bought by the yard, instead of in full rolls?...

..or does anyone have any experience with an acrylic or polycarbonate product that accepts dry erase markings, and then allows erasure of same?

Art! Hot and fresh.
I haven't really ever had problems with any sort of glossy laminate being used for dry erase situations pretty much all of them let you erase without ghosting and cleaning ... you can use straight alchohol with most lams so there isn't a problem there .... if you can find a completely smooth poly lam that is glossy you will be all set since the biggest risk will be someone scraping it. But for the life of me I think most poly lams come with a texture. There is a shop in orlando that is still using something I printed on my aqueous printer with a standard glossy uv lam as a dry erase board and It is just nearing about 7 years old.

Doug, we use Wypet from Fellers and have for years. It's cheap and works great, never had a problem with it.

+1 for wypet.

The only one I have used that hasn't stained from leaving the writing on for a long period.

Just make sure to explain that even thou it is dry erase material, they can't use a Sharpie and expect it to come off. Been there done that :frustrated:

I tested my brite line gloss laminate and it wiped clean with a microfiber after sitting for a few days no problem.
