The Backorder designation on Reactive Imaging product pages are generally items inventoried with pending shipment. Reasons may include a shortage at the manufacturer, infrequently used paper widths or simply that sufficient customer orders have not been received to issue an factory order. Most media over 44 inches is backordered. When payment for a new order is approved, the status is changed. Please allow additional 24 to 48 hours for completion of projects dependent upon backordered materials.
