Anything like Epson Display Transparency film, but clear?
« on: September 25, 2014, 05:15:01 pm »

I'm looking for something like Epson's Display Transparency Backlight film, but with a clear background - does anyone know if such a thing exists?

What I'm doing, is creating a photomural for the windows on an interior office, so that people on the inside don't feel like they are in a fish bowl. The Epson film is nice, but it would be nice to be able to provide some transparency without having to cut holes in the film (which I'm not very good at!).

Thanks!

Hp used to make one, maybe they still do. It had white tape on the edges so the printer could read it to load.

Thank you so much for all those suggestions!

I'll get some samples of as many as I can, and do some tests.
Even if I can't print on them with my Epson 9900, I can send some out for solvent printing, and see how they look.
