electrostatic cling help??
Hi Guys & Girls,
I have bought some electrostatic cling in white from spandex, product code IP2907, and i have tried about ten different profiles in versaworks and i cannot get a decent result? I am printing on a versacamm using versaworks! Does anyone use this product? Can you recommend a profile that works, or do you have a static cling from a different manufacturer that works?? I can find any static cling profiles on any sites??cheers

Hi Dan,
We used to use molko penstick, comes in white or clear and printed well with just any old vinyl profile (grafityp s12p & oracal 3164 were my favourites) must warn you though I did have problems with static cling not bonding well to windows – not just this brand but going back we had the same issues with victory designs one.
They always seem to stick better using the side facing the backing paper so were no use as window stickers.
Have you considered a removable clear instead Dan? Sticky enough to grab on and stay but not so much you cant get it off again!

the problem is the print quality its absolutely dreadfull! colours appear nothing like what they should be, tried so many different profiles now its a joke!!
these are for an airport to be stuck on mirrors, so I dont see problems with the backing paper side sticking better, as thats what we want.
ill google your stuff and see if I can get it in spain. Has anyone tried printing to clear vinyl and sticking to the static cling?? getting desparate!!
cheers

Have done the opposite to what you’re talking about Dan.
Well printing on the clear static and backing in white. I see no reason why you couldnt print on the clear then mount onto the white static cling. Cant see you’d have a problem.
I cant believe though that you cant print on it just using a normal profile!?

hoenstly the results are shockingly bad, im now trying raising the temperature to 50ºc, I read that that might help!!

well i have just downloaded and installed a profile for static cling, and its still rubbish, I am going to post a photo! Andy can you let me know if you get better results than this?
cheers

Dan,
If you’re struggling to get the stuff in Spain and if you dont need too much mate I’ve got a split roll of the molko stuff at work, its nothing something we really use much now. If you wanted to give me a little something for it plus postage (I can ship to Malaga with Fastway)
Just give me a shout if you want to.
Cheers,

A site I find useful Spain is club.cutspain.com. which is the Spanish equivalent of UKSB.Chris
