Wrestiling/MMA Mat Graphics

[Artworks]

Can anyone recommend a safe media (or the proper one,) for installing graphics on wrestling or MMA mats in a gym? I just installed some large PhotoTex type media (it was HP though,) in a dojo last week and of course they are already destroyed. I don't want to use a cast lam/laminate because that will be too slippery and a major liability. It seems that when you buy the mats with graphics already applied, they are likely screen printed and treated during manufacturing. Is there something else out there that we can use that won't get destroyed while the mats are being used?

They were a former customer of mine at another company and do athletic mats for baseball/football and wrestling if I'm not mistaken. They have a location here in GA and the main office is in California. You can let him know Jim @ Team One recommended him to you. Good Luck!

I don't think anything less than screen (or direct) printing will suffice. It has to move and flex with the mat. And, of course, if it can lift...it eventually will.

That's what I am thinking too. Just want to make sure there isn't anything out there. The customer already own the mats. They are going to purchase new ones just to get graphics for them.

Perhaps you could stencil and paint them.
