    Hi everyone a quick one might sound a bit daft!

    When i print onto clear to make the colours stand out do i need to back it with white vinyl where i printed to stop the transparency and the colours looking dull???????

    Whats the best way to apply the white is it to apply the white to the surface first and apply clear over the top!!! Or apply white to clear before
    apllying to surface????

    If its going on the inside of glass, then you’ll have to print the mirrored image on the clear then back it in white.

    If you are printing it for a normal sticker, you may as well print directly onto white, and save yourself a step.

    Cheers
