Static Clings

Recommended Posts

I have a customer looking for numbers for a drag racing racecar. He wants static clings to go on the inside of the windows. I have the design just about finished. Does anyone on here print onto this material?

 

Thanks

Brad

I do print on white static cling but that would work on the outside only, without a printer that prints white ink they would look very washed out printed on clear

printer inks do not have the solids that offset inkk does etc, so it is far more transparent when it doesn't have the white to reflect off of

here is the exact same image on white and on clear - you chose

How heavy of a static cling can I cut on a Graphtec 6000 I can only find 8mm

 

Thanks in advance

I'm sure you meant 8mil and not 8mm. I've cut a lot of 8mil chalk vinyl with the Graphtec with no issues. Just use a sharp 60 degree blade and run some test cuts to get the pressure dialed in. I use a speed of 20 and force of 29 with the blade sticking out the same as with regular vinyl.
