  • Printing on frosted

    Posted by Nick Tunstill on 16 August 2013 at 08:52

    I have been asked to do some frosted on an internal window with a printed colour logo. I guess I can either print on frosted or apply a clear reverse printed first, but this would seem to maybe have more issues with bubbles, bits of dust etc.

    Any tips would be great!

    Thanks

    Nick

    Print on clear the back it off in etch.

    Just ‘laminate’ it like you would normally.

    tried it both ways and this is the more pleasing / better visibility.

    You also might want to up the saturation / more ink as it can look a bit washed out at times without the benefit of a strong white behind the ink.

    nick if i remember you have white ink then here is a case to use it as a spot area behind any colours works very well on etch film printing.
    we use image perfect opel flrost and back it with a clear vinyl to protect the ink. white is even reduced to about 65%
    ok thats a age to print but worth the bother for the odd time required

    That’s great, it’s a one off so should be fine for this.
    Many thanks
