Roland R. Irish III replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"The 'gray' is simple the material adhering to the surface of the window. When it's applied correctly up close you will see uniform 'gray' but from a distance it will appear white. Static vinyl is not made for exterior use-it…"

My limited experience has been with GMI White Static Cling inside window ink against the glass.
Leaving it on the glass for over a month (FL) when we removed the SC it left some ink stuck to the glass.
We did let it cure overnight. Have you…"
Steven Jackson replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"I don't know what the sheet says but we have always had success using it to cling from either side. I tried it once and it worked great so we have always used it that way."
Joseph Tovar replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"Steve, The Solvex clings on both sides? ..You printed on the top and the printed layer was able to cling on the window?
The reason I'm asking is because I thought I read on the 1st page of this thread that Solvex doesn't cling on both…"
Joseph Tovar replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"Steve, Which material did you do the image with no border on? Was it the GMI White Static Cling or the Solvex?"
Steven Jackson replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"We did one recently and had no white border - worked just fine :-)"
Joseph Tovar replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"If you are doing an inside window cling where the graphic faces outside, do you need to leave a white border for the "cling" to work, or can you bleed the graphic to the edge?"
Roland R. Irish III replied to Bill Dannels's discussion Static Cling on either side?"That ink sticks GOOD, doesn't it!

- Bill,
Try looking at Fellers.com for your regular vinyl and Imprintables.com for the heat transfer and wall graphic material.

- Bill,
I will try my best to break it down for you. Ink cost if you have 100% coverage on a 12" x 12" square with all four colors will only run $0.37. The material cost will go anywhere from $0.16 to $0.33 per square foot based on what material you are printing on. You can get an idea for any job by using these numbers. Typical cost for us is around $0.45 per square foot of material on printed decal vinyl.
As for UV and scratch resistance, they best way to increase that is to laminate your products. Roland eco solvent inks will last 3-5 years and 5-7 years if you laminate them. Once fully dry, they are fairly scratch resistant and will hold up well, but lamination will make them last much longer. Any vehicle application should be laminated. We charge $3 per square foot for lamination services.
I hope all of this helps!
