    Hi Everyone

    We are new to uksignboards but it was a great move, loads of info, we are litho printers by profession so we need all the help we can get!!!!

    we have been asked to supply some one-way mirrored film for a customers factory doors, any tips on application? is it the same process as vinyl?

    Thanks and keep up the good work

    Hi John
    Welcome to the boards, I see you have jumped in feet first and gone for full membership, well worth it. A visit to the say hello forum would not do any harm.

    Any way mirror film is different from vinyl in several ways, firstly it usually comes with a polyester backing rather than paper, it is also designed to be applied wet, and the the techniques for applying are a bit different. I’m no expert, but I’m sure there are some amongst our motley crew.

    Also I do know it is only "one way " when one side is lit brighter than the other, so good to explain it to your customer, especially if it is for privacy areas,

    Peter
