  • Advice required on printable etch vinyl

    Hi.

    We’ve got to do 3 lots of glass room panels in etch. No problem with the normal etch.
    One of the panels they want a print on the etch.
    With all the panels being offices and non facing out into the street, do we print mirror or standard, I’m assuming one side will be almost non visible.

    Also, Surely we don’t laminate the print?

    Metamark do a printable etch, that said, you could probably print onto normal etch too, we didnt laminate it.

    We did a bit in our old shop door.

    If the windows are external facing, the print looks great from inside as the light shines through it, but from outside it looks dark & flat. I’m not sure how it would work internally.

    Hi Denise
    We do a lot of partition glazing, our normal practice is to apply film on side you want it read from ie facefixed issue aftercare statement stating no solvents when cleaning

    for vibrancy and longevity I prefer to reverse print on clear and back with frost
