magnetic receptive board

I have a project that after I print it need to have these properties:
1. magnetic receptive
2. dry erase
3. thin, lightweight, and non warping

There is a product called Insite Reveal Magnetic Receptive that would have been perfect, yet I cannot find it available and Gillman Bros. cannot say anything more of when it will be available.

Is there an alternative product?
My sloppy solution is flex steel, print, laminate, mount. Project is in the hundreds and this just becomes very labor intensive and costly.

Thanks in advance.

Those solutions are the same as flex steel (ferrous impregnated rubber). The Insite product had a thin layer of receptive metal sandwiched in a printable 3/16" board. That is the alternative I am looking for - does anyone know of a product that mimics the Insite (which is unavailable for unknown duration).

I am getting a sample of papersteel in to see if it is stiff enough to pass-up a mounting operation. Other hurdles would be ease of trimming and resisting dents. If it passes the test, even though it is about 20% more $, it would be worthwhile.
I'll post the results when I know.
