Dumb perf question

Okay, so we have rarely ever used window perf and going to be printing on it for the first time. My question lies in what lam I should be using with contravision 60/40 perf. Does it actually matter which lam. I used? My distributor is gearing me towards Avery DOL1560 or 3M 8914. I would have to go and buy one of these laminates, but I do have a few in stock already that I'm wondering if it would hurt to use. I have 3M 8505, 3M 8150, 3M 8520, IP2504 in stock.

These graphics are going on interior and exterior vertical standing panels of glass (essentially storefront).

overlam has to be optically clear, as for brands, whatever you prefer

+1

you can mix brands, no issue there.
Perf is a short term material and there will be no issue on the lamination being a different brand.


whatever you use MUST BE optically clear!!! IF you laminate it.

we have a sample in shop of half the window with laminate and the other half without. Let the customer see and then they can pick what they want

if you use a cheap cal lam, it will be foggy and pointless... I know... I tried.

if you use ANY cal lam it will be foggy, the only lam you can use is optically clear. and even then it still has some haze to it. UN-laminated is the only way to have clear visibility
