So, I have a client who wants to print some of these calmstrips. Does anyone know where I could find material to use to put through my printer?

Thanks in advance.

Huh that's kind of neat! I don't know what they actually feel like, but we've had a floor laminate that had a kind of sandy texture, and I know there are carbon fibre laminates and such. I wonder if the bottom is just a regular decal vinyl, but the laminate is something odd?

It's printed onto the material. I believe the material is like a soft textile like a carpet.

Like the person asking about material for phone skins, spend $20 and find out. Buy one. Pick it apart. Feel it. You can figure out what they made it from. Most likely using a textured overlaminate on printed vinyl. It could be different textures of dreamscapes or wallscapes media, but then you'd have to laminate it to an adhesive, which is messier than laminating printed vinyl. And since the point of it is to rub your fingers on it, it would make sense to have the ink protected by an overlaminate.

So I ordered a set of these. Interesting idea! I wonder if it's like our textured graphic material (We run mostly Dreamscape Caviar).

Shows people are suckers for a good marketing campaign. I'll just rub a piece of suede from my gilding kit... it's the same thing...

'Calmstrips'? Really? One might think that by producing such nonsense that they'd be contributing to the onrushing deterioration of the human race. Anyone that needs contact with a 'Calmstrip' is probably a self-absorbed millennial that has just encountered something that they deem unpleasant. Could you imagine someone like this being deprived of all of their electronic tackle and dropped into the wood miles from civilization and told that someone will meet them at some arbitrary location in five days. Oh, the humanity! Where is my basket of Calmstrips?

This is intended for people who are autistic.

Pity about poor Albert Einstein and Michaelangelo, if only they'd have had a Calmstrip they might have amounted to something. Of course, they lived when 'autism' wasn't even a word, Even if it were, no one gave a damn about your problems. Unlike today, when you're expected to fall all over yourself in order to accommodate some specimen that's been pronounced 'autistic'.

At the end of the day, I don't care who they are for. The customer wants 3000 of them and im trying to find the material so I can make money off of him.

Then why did you bring it up?

That's the right attitude exactly. We'd do business with the prince of freaking darkness and/or anyone else of any flavor as long as they paid as agreed.
