  • white vinyl fix inside for view outside?

    Posted by David Teece on 27 March 2006 at 16:14

    Hi

    A very basic question for you guys, I need to put some graphics on the inside of my shop window, to be viewed from outside, these are going to be white is there a special vinyl for this or can I use just ordinary white vinyl. I have some Metamark 4 series vinyl is this suitable?
    Please forgive this simple question. 😀
    Thanks.

    Hi There,

    If you print onto the white you will only be able to stick it to the outside of the window, you need to reverse print onto clear then back it up with white , then when you stick it on it looks the right way round from the outside.
    Make sense ?

    Hi Cammy

    I am cutting the graphics out using my plotter if I cut them in reverse and apply on inside they can be viewed as normal from outside – just not sure if my vinyl is right – Metamark series 4 white.
    Thanks.

    There is also a product called panostar , its like contravision but without the adhesive , can be printed on the white and hung from the inside, can be printed on all solvent/eco solvent machines.

    ive done a few windows the way Cameron said i.e print reverse onto clear then run through the laminator with white vinyl. 2 layers ready to fit direct to window.

    just re-read your post, metamark 4 vinyl should be fine, i think the 4 series is just a lower life vinyl i.e 2-3 year or the like.
