Paul you need what is called DiBond or Aluminium Composite. You normally have to buy the sheet and they will cut it down for you. I get mine from here http://www.perspex.co.uk/
they are not the cheapest but are on my doorstep. They have a gloss and matt side.
Many thanks

Yes, I have been using DiBond, be aware that DiBond is an actual manufacturer but a lot of people call any laminated aluminium/composite board 'DiBond'.
My website is open: www.Linksrepairshop.co.uk

Using FlexiStarter 10 and a Liyu SC631e & a Silhouette Cameo cutter. 2x Ricoh SG3110dn printers and Adkins Auto Clam press. Using Sublijet-r from Sawgrass.
