  • Stickers printed in mirror image??

    Just thinking out load.

    Those people who have a large formate digital printer –

    Can you print full colour stickers on clear and in mirror image, so it sticks to the inside of glass?
    How dense is the ink?
    Can a white backing be placed ontop, like I can with the edge?

    We do this on our Cadet.

    I’ve printed in reverse on clear and the image was fine. No customer complaints so he must have liked it too.

    We also print reverse on clear with registration marks; remove and laminate with white; replace on Cadet and cut to shape. The Cadet reads the reg marks automatically and this works very well – once you sussed how!

    yeh, just mirror it, print as normal. remove and laminate in white.
    this can be done by hand or machine. like has been said, easy to stick back in machine and contour cut.

    is the white laminate just a white vinyl or a special.

    what is the cost of laminate( just an average cost, estimate)

    its just a cheap as chips vinyl mate. any sort will do. your just using it to create the white backing.
    when you vehicle wrap and us a laminate vinyl then that is important with what you use.
    i always try enforce only to use the same equivelant in laminate as the wrap. soooo.. if you use kpmf wrap, it should be kpmf clear wrap. same with avery and the like. but as far as i know they dont have same in clear, just offer a good cast clear.
    you will find that by then you are almost doubling your wrap material cost.
    on the other hand grafityps, grafiwrap is only about £7.40 a metre but comes with equivelant laminate. so you get both for the listed price of £7.40 which is good going as most wraps whould be laminated.
    i “think” mactacs macfleet have a clear wrap but doesnt come as part of price tage. i think you will pay about £10 for both per metre. thats another very good wrap material.
