A DIY philosophy seems to belong to the past. Yet Smartphones, Scanners, Inkjet printers and Magnetic Paper or sheets are enabling a new generation to make their own signs, labels, invitations, greeting cards, decorative coverings and even their own personalised calendars.

If it can be drawn, written, painted or photographed most inkjet printers can imprint or inscribe these images, symbols and text onto the glossy PVA non-magnetic surface of Magnetic Paper.

Specific purpose designs using these now common technologies harness the imagination and needs of individuals for magnetic attachment in prominent positions for temporary or permanent placement in the home, factory or office. Unlike screws, nails, tape or glue surfaces subject to magnetic attachment are left free of damage and ugly residue.

Customised signs can include a chart for scheduled medications specific to an individual in their preferred language. This personalised chart can be displayed permanently or temporarily using AMF Magnetic Paper in the kitchen on white goods including refrigerators, freezers, range hoods and microwave ovens. Ticking a box next to each day with a whiteboard marker handily affixed to the same metallic surface with a strip of magnetic tape confirms the day, medication and dose to be consumed.

These charts can go on holiday with an outpatient, stay with friends to be closer to rehabilitation facilities and then go home and back to the fridge door. The ticks in redundant boxes are erased with a clean cloth and reused the following week!
