in Virginia i believe retro reflective is required for "handicap" signs. and here in California we can't use the "H" word... we have to say "Accessible"

GG is correct... we were working on projects in Virginia almost 2 years ago, minimum background vinyl is required to meet or exceed ASTM D4956-01, 3M's 3430 exceeds that standard.

The colors are required to be reflective as well, I would look at 3M's 1170 transparent vinyl. Red-1172 and Blue-1175. If colors have to match, 3M can custom color match their transparent inks for screen-print. It's my understanding that only one printer can print full color transparent graphics on retro-reflective. - but I lost the link!

Thanks for all of the quick replies.

At the suggestion of our supplier, we used Avery 900 Cardinal Red and Vivid Blue on reflective blanks.
