Problems creating a white back for Window stickers?
We print digital on vinyl, now many customers are asking us for window stickers, the problem we are having is that when we print on clear vinyl the image is translucent. How do we get the white background colour white? Can it be screen printed after the sticker is printed digital? The machine i have is a Mutoh Valuejet.
Or what machine do i need to produce window stickers

Print in reverse then backup with white vinyl.

A Gerber FX would produce these with a solid white background no problem…..see if anyone local to you has one or ask on the boards for a quote.

Summa DC3/DC4 would also work, opaque white foil available.

Couple of options , you could print onto the white face of white Penstick and it allows you to stick the printed side to the inside of the window , works better the more white is showing , alternayively there is a new prodcut due which is a white thermal resin produced by the same people that produce Signfoils for the Gerber edge , if you have a hot top laminator you just transfer it on to the reverse of the print.

We print in reverse and back with white vinyl.
On shaped stickers , we make the white background countoured outward from the clear.So If you have a print overlam and then cut machine like a Roland that reads crop marks , then to contour cut accurately , weed the clear stickers first (do a print and cut on em) and leave the printed crop marks alone , dont weed em.
Then either hand apply or use a laminator to apply the white vinyl, weed away some white as where the crop marks are so the machine can read em.
Load it in your machine and get it to read the crop marks and then die cut.
You will end up with a contoured cut white backed window graphic.
If you could get an opaque enopugh white vinyl , when you load it up to do the final cut , you could actually print onto the white , the side that faces inward from the window and have a double sided window graphic …..
BUT we havent found a vinyl opaque enough , in white , invariable light or sunlight shines thru.
