Dry-Erase Printable Material on my VP540

We just received an inquiry to print a 4'x5' chart to hang on the wall, in which the customer will be using a marker on. Anyone know of material that works with eco-solvent ink and is dry-erase…Continue

I've been assigned to replicate a sign hanging on the interior of a store on j-hook suction cups. The material seems to be Sintra (expanded closed cell polyvinyl) however it seems to be only .5mm…Continue

I'm seeing some interesting uses for this material. I know you'll keep us informed.

You can use durasol reg or premimum with air release with a clear laminate. If you use your 8.5 x 11 sheet in your VP540 then you will not get much of a test with the front and back leads. Durasol products are from Imprintables Wearhouse but you can…

If it doesn't have a clear overlaminate, then my guess is that it DOES have a printed clear topcoat. Otherwise the printing would definitely scratch off. I use clear laminate film as an overlay on any decals I do that need protection, and even…

Disecting another material

Hey everyone,I'm working on getting a sample material figured out. I'm looking to print these on my VP540 - and the samples I have are 8.5 x 11 Avery-looking sheets. The sheets are glossy, extremely scratch-resistant, and have a permanent adhesive backing. It does not have an over-laminate. Looks like these were laser-printed.These will be used for labeling tool boxes. Hardware, specifically - nuts, bolts, screws, etc. Scratch resistance is a must! I'd been advised that vinyl scratches, so that…See More

Thomas, I will look into it further but I only see one size available on the list right now: DuraSol Clear Dry Erase Laminate 54" 50yd Clear $174.50 I can tell you that I have used expo brand markers and then some other cheap markers on it,…

Does the white printable dry erase material have issues with using solvents to clean the surface? What based dry-erase markers can be used with it? Steve, what sizes and prices are we looking at? Thanks

Hmm...wonder if I could use that to decorate my metal lunch boxes instead of the Oracal. Kids/moms could write messages on the material then. Interesting. :)

yes it does. I am also testing a new material for IW that is dry erase, printable, and removable like wall graphic material. I just did a print and application today. So far, so good!

Does the dry erase material have adhesive on the back?

Steven Jackson replied to Thomas Ruch's discussion 'Dry-Erase Printable Material on my VP540'

Thomas, Imprintables has both the dry erase laminate and the white printable dry erase material. I have a chunk of both on my wall and use them for the exact purpose that your customer is looking for. So far , 1 month plus, they are both working…

Hi Kevin, That's a good idea. I was actually looking at a glossy vinyl removable wall material I have right now that would not need any laminate. We do not have a laminator here but we could outsource it.. Thanks for the idea. Tom

Kevin Hirata replied to Thomas Ruch's discussion 'Dry-Erase Printable Material on my VP540'

Hi Thomas, You might want to look into Wypet. This is a laminate which is design for dry erase use. The laminate itself is not printable, but it is made to go over printed material. I have never used this myself, but I know of others that have, and…

I love that you use your dog for images!!! Do you print right on to that material or is it a applied on with vinyl.

Steven Jackson replied to Thomas Ruch's discussion 'Looking for Sintra-looking material to print on...'

I can look into it. I would ask Mark at IW to see what he can come up with also. Please PM me your address that you want the sample sent to. I printed it out but have to mail it out tomorrow.
