Printing Latex on Clear Material

Suggestions and preferences for a clear substrate that will be hung so the image can be seen from both sides. Will be printing with a HP 365. The client may request the image be laminated so suggestions for a compatible laminate would be appreciated as well.

You need white ink to do this
Not necessarily. And yes you are right it won't be as good and limited potential.

1. Just print it on the clear with a high load of ink and it will look like that to both sides. Yes, kinda crappy and it will be same image both sides. But it's fine for some stuff.
2. Print it on clear and the other side on blockout vinyl, then "laminate" the clear with the blockout. You then have double sided.

the way it's written, it sounds like you want something rigid? you said "hung". Also remember that the backside would be a mirror of the front side.

Ah, White ink. If only the people that sold me the HP printer didn't hide the fact that the white ink option was just a few months down the road. And they wonder why the industry has trust issues regarding manufacturers and distributors.

Anyway, based upon the subject matter that the client wanted printed I referred them to another printer that has the capability.

Thanks for the insights.
