I live in an old house with single pane old school windows. Not ready to replace them, yet, but I am anxious to explore the application of optically clear window film directly to both sides of the panes (like car window tinting only clear). Winter's coming and I need whatever insulation properties may be afforded. There are countless people like me with similar windows and a DIY video with product suggestions just might get some attention. There are plenty of videos about applying clear plastic material around the window frames, not pressesd onto the actual glass. I want to apply the film to the glass, itself, semi-permanently, both sides. I might do the more peripheral window application, in addition, but after. Why there is this blind spot in DIY window upgrade is beyond me.
Steve, really whoever watch ur video learn a lot in printing and stickers industry, can’t imagine the experience we getting from just watching ur video , so i hope u will have a time to get us more and more video and helping other people who trying to know more about this industry. My only question is . Would you please let us know what king of material u are using to print this vinyl, and what machine can do it . That will be really helpful . Bless u
Hi! Thank you so much. I just uploaded a new one so I hope you get a chance to watch it! This material was from Lintec and it is a clear polyester film. Any printer with white ink can achieve this result!
Other than the fancy sprayer and stacking the graphic we have the same process. The backing liner is great to protect printed white from the hp700w. Durable in many regarded but on optically clear polyester, if the white gets wet it scratches 😮
You mentioned that the white ink can easily scratch and that's why you are using the liner, but did they not use an optically clear lamination, and if not why not?
I’ve found that most printers don’t laminate optically clear film with a laminate. They are usually UV printed where the ink can be pretty thick. I’m not sure if it’s just to reduce cost or because it’s not necessary. I’ll ask around and see if I can get a better answer!
@@stevethegraphicsguyuv ink with laminate can be rough, it adds thickness to optically clear, and also can create small air pockets around the print itself.
I got my sprayer from Tint Tanks. The 12v pump system parts were all purchased from Amazon individually and put together to make it all work. I’ll do a video on that soon
Your videos are the best! Like real no edits ! Thank you so much! Avery cert student here but it helps to show our employees your vids! Did you already post the link for the Dawn water tank pump tank combo
Using the liner as a buffer layer is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the process.
Glad it was helpful!

Excellent reminder of why I outsource or refer this sort of thing. Lol. Great work.
Haha. Thanks!
Hi, do you suggest in looking for a skillset or requirements when outsourcing? Would be for "vinyl installation" when looking around?

Cool to hear! Thanks for watching

Nice work!

@@stevethegraphicsguy cool can’t wait. Thank you.

Nice 👍
The sprayer is such a game changer! Thanks again!!
What film are you using?
This was a Lintec polyester film. I’m not sure what the exact product name was on this job.
very nice. do you do installs for the trade by chance?>
Thanks. Yes, we do full production and contract installations as well.
