    Posted by Nick Tunstill on 16 January 2014 at 16:34

    A customer of mine wants a printed vinyl to go on an internal glass panel that can be read from both sides. I imagine it could be done by reverse printing on clear then sticking a printed a printed vinyl on the back but does anyone have any other simpler ideas/

    Many thanks

    discussed similar here.

    Transparency issues best solved with a blockout layer – so likely to be

    REVERSE PRINT ON CLEAR
    BACKED OFF IN WHITE
    BLACK LIGHT BLOCK
    PRINTED ON WHITE
    CLEAR LAMINATE

    Bit of a mission to mount for application all in one go, I normally split to 3+2 layers. (or 2+2 if no light bleed through issue eg, dark prints with low contrast)

    Of course, you could always just apply from both sides…

    Can’t you just stick one on one side of the glass & one on the other?? Still need to think about a blockout layer on at least one of the sides
