BigJ, you will either need a print and cut solvent machine or go the TMT laser paper route. Also, if you need them clear but backed with white give me a shout as my Roland is configured white

In short I have no idea!!!!

I know that the solvent stuff has no adhesive on there, this stuff looks like it does, but that is probably a good thing as I have always felt the solvent does not stick as well as it should

ive done many windowswith 64inch wide static cling on solvent, it sticks really well for a very long time. however you need to make sure the windows are very clean i always go voer them with soap water then an acohol based cleaner. Never had one come away. My local Taekwon-Do school has had poster in the windows for over a year now no bother.

I have used this stuff (and others much like it) and it is very thick (like 250g card). Easy to print on but a boogere to apply [you get one chance to get it right] as it has a semi-adhesive backing. It doesn't conform very well and the print is not very UV stable, so it fades quickly. You also need to print the image behind the film and as it is see through you need to have a white background to even see the print. Static cling is lovely and thin and re-positionable. However it can only be printed on with solvent inks or cad-cut vinyl which may affect the effectiveness of the cling. Personally I would get someone to print them for you as their really is no viable route to doing this yourself unless you have a solvent printer. Simple lettering can be cad-cut and stuck to the back of the film.
