How to Print your Schedule Board to an OVERSIZE MAGNET through C2 Imaging
C2 Imaging is a national printing company known for their creativity and innovation. While I do not receive any commissions from recommending them, I do so wholeheartedly because they provide customers with unique applications of my Schedule Board prints (such as the oversize magnet featured in this post) at a really affordable price.
To help make your experience a success, I’ve listed answers to some frequently asked questions and included a tutorial with step-by-step instructions showing how to upload the design file included with the purchase of your Schedule Board to the C2 Imaging website. At your request, they will print your Schedule Board directly to a dry-erase laminated oversize magnet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an oversized magnet print?
When you order through C2 Imaging, your Schedule Board will be printed directly to .020 magnetic material and sealed with a dry-erase lamination so that you can use dry erase markers directly on the surface of the board.
Why would I choose to print my schedule board to an oversize magnet?
Oversize magnets are a great option for use on kitchen refrigerators. Most refrigerators will accommodate a Combination Schedule Board on one of the sides. Some single door refrigerators may accommodate one on the front.
How much does it cost?
A 24″ X 36″ dry-erase laminated Schedule Board printed to an oversize magnet is available with C2 Imaging for $40 + tax and shipping. Ordering instructions are included in the second half of this post.
How do I clean it?
Wiping with a dry eraser or paper towel is sufficient for simple schedule changes, but it is recommended to periodically wipe the board down with warm soapy water, window cleaner, or peroxide to keep it looking fresh and clean.
Please do not clean your Schedule Board with any wax-based products.
