We need to print a sign and mount it on the back side of a piece of acrylic. We are going to use double sided adhesive to attach it. So people will be viewing this through the lexan and through the double sided adhesive. Do I need to use optically clear or will clear work ok? I know using laminate that isn't optically clear works just fine, so I wondered about this case. They are going to be using this in a planning room and this is a rough drawing of the facility. Basically just a bunch of lines, boxes and wording.

Clear vs Optically Clear

Optically clear is for application that you want to see through like a glass where there is no ink. And you pretty much ruin the effect if you use something else with it.
So it sounds like clear is fine for you?

Can you skip the double sided adhesive and mirror print on clear SAV? Seem like it would be a better option.

Yes, 'double sided adhesive' will be a pain and a waste of effort and material and extra cost.
Just print a reversed image on ordinary clear self adhesive vinyl or laminate.
