Our Top Window Graphics Tips

Window graphics have come a long way from the corner gas station.

On the Inside: LexJet’s New Repositionable 60/40 Film for Window Graphics

There are a lot of good reasons to apply graphics to the inside of a window facing out toward the street … Restrictive, fascistic sign codes, as extra protection from vandalistic passersby and for the ease of a sheltered indoor installation.

Window graphics that are applied on the inside of the windowLexJet’s new FaceMount Perforated Window Grip makes these inside window applications even easier. The 60/40 perforated film (60 percent printable area, 40 percent open area pattern) has a unique low-tack grip adhesive that’s repositionable and easy to remove with little to no residue after it’s removed.

You print to the window grip adhesive, which has an ink-receptive coating, and apply the graphic to the inside of the window with the adhesive and image facing out. The polyester liner ensures a smooth application since it helps prevent the film from tunneling and curling during installation.

Once the film is applied it will stick to the glass for up to a year. The 60/40 perforation pattern provides image quality and clarity when viewed from the outside and is see-through from the inside looking out.

LexJet FaceMount Perforated Window Grip is designed only for use with low-solvent and solvent printers and is available in 54″ x 82′ and 27″ x 12′ rolls. For more information and to order, contact a LexJet customer specialist at 800-453-9538.
