Dry Erase

[equippaint]

Looking for 48-54" material that we can eco-solvent print and laminate for dry erase that can be rolled up and shipped then hung on a wall for use. It will be used quite a bit so a decent laminate. Originally we were going to mount these on ACM but shipping 48" wide stuff undamaged is difficult.
Another option we considered was to print on vinyl and include a knock down poster frame to keep the material from curling on the wall.

Fellers carries some, we use it in our shop.

I've used and try lot of material for dry erase. If you want a print + lam, I suggest the drytac one. If you want to print on the media and be a dry erase without lamination, go with r-tape. I print with a latex printer. I don't know how it work, but even the part with ink is dry erase.

They make a dry erase lam. So you can print onto anything and just lam with dry-erase.

Depends on just what you're laminating with it. Rolling up the finished product can prove problematic if the print is on banner material. It most certainly begin to separate when rolled and unrolled. I speak from experience. On vinyl I can't say. Regardless, you'll be rolling up two [or more] materials that have vastly different elasticity and one material is going to be rolled tighter than the other no matter The outside is longer than the inside no matter if you roll it print in or print out. Just like what happens when you try to roll up masked media. Physics.

We've had success with a lam called "Wypet".

We shipout RTA laminated vinyl without any issues. I would do the same with this but we have printed pantone charts hanging on the wall (still have backing paper on them) and theyre curled up a long the edges. I think they would need a frame or a more suitable material

We use the Vandalguard. Works well for items your going to mount on a hard surface but tunnels when rolled up.

I've used vandalguard when it came out. It's a real PITA to work with and we had multiple problem to erase ''dry erase mark'' even with acetone, alcohol, rapid remover and methyl hydrate. We had to redo several job. The drytac lam is thick work well if you use their wall material to roll and ship and it's inexpensive.

Are you printing on vinyl? What do you mount them to for the boards?

We have a dry erase laminate we got from Denco, I believe, and we love it.

We print on vinyl yes - usually we use a high tac vinyl just because people tend to beat on/scrub the dry erase hard. Probably don't need to, but its just what we use.

We print on vinyl, overlam with the dry erase, then apply it to alupanel for the hospitals.

We've also applied it to aluminum, Coro... We even did some for a charity. Printed a big blank cheque, dry erased it... And every event they write on it to present to someone and get a photo op, erase and redo it the next event.


It'll pretty much go wherever vinyl can go.
