Hello everyone, I am looking for a recommendation for some vinyl. I am trying to find an alternative vinyl to use for my clear applications. I currently have been using Orajet 3164HT clear vinyl, and I am looking for a better solution. I have used the clear options for 3M 40c and IJ180c, but I can see the air release channels in the film, and my client does not like the transparency of the film. Looks too cloudy for their taste. The 3164HT is great for them, it is extremely clear, and you can't even tell that there is vinyl on the glass. I need a vinyl that is similar to this or even better. All input is greatly appreciated.

There is also Oracal's 3651G, we've used it in the pass, and it was pretty good.

If the 3164HT works fine and the customer loves it, what’s the issue then?
It’s the availability of the vinyl right now.

Thanks for the info. I had some 8518 at the shop and did my test prints today and they turned out really good. Looks like that will be my go to for this application
Keep in mind 8518 is non removable... So if it's something you ever plan on removing it'll be a pain in the ass.
It also has a slight yellow tinge to it, it's not 100% optically clear like 8150.
That being said weve used it a lot as well... Works great, only downside is when you go to remove a 10 ft window and it takes hours...

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep that in mind. Luckily for this instance, it is a permanent solution. So we just got a sample roll of a new material, it is GF 255 OptiMark, and it looks like it will work as well. Optically clear and I am not familiar with this vinyl so I can’t speak for it, but we might use it for this project so we will see how it works.
