Kala Laminator is great and they also have application tables. Try to get one used from the next Sign show!

Hey, We've installed frosted with tiny patterns weeded out. We used Oracal frosted with SCPM-3. Installed wet, let it dry and hit with heat gun before removing the premask. Still requires patience.

I have tried gravity sketch and thought about trying to export a "sculpture" and print it with my Ender 3. If I do I'll post it.

Hey Dave, We used to install it regularly for a client but it ended up failing too often (at sea...) so they switched to frosted. Another client had it installed to their street facing windows, the cleaner snagged the power cable and ripped it out from the vinyl... It was hard to install...
