Is there a strong demand for a real chromaluxe alternative that doesnt chip?

So I have become somewhat obsessed over the last 2-3 years in finding something that is comparable to chromaluxe.

Just anything that is cheaper and gives a good print. I have tested every sublimation aluminum product on the market sold from the US and many from china (at least a dozen).

I have finally found a coating that can compare to chromaluxe, and doesnt chip when shear cutting it.

My question is, I own a metal photo lab, so using this opens me up to a bunch of new customers, that really by now I have little use for because all my customers are high end and I wouldnt offer anything but chromaluxe.

This stuff has very minimal orange peel (less than dynasub) to the point its not noticeable at all in most prints.

However, this stuff blows away dynasub and everything else out there that isnt chromaluxe, is it a worthwhile venture to resell this stuff to the sign/awards industries? I am not at all interested in selling a few sheets here and there, as my print shop takes up the majority of my time.

I just am not sure if there is a strong enough demand for this stuff, especially when people are already satisfied with dynasub.
