Frequently asked questions
Can you use the film just as a block-out vinyl?
Yes. GF 218 WindowMark Blockout™ is an excellent choice because it is 100% “blockout”. The removable adhesive also makes for easy, clean removal. This can be used on store front windows and internal windows where total privacy is a must.
Can you use this vinyl for reverse print window decals or graphics?
Yes. Reverse print on a clear vinyl like GF 206 or GF 255. Then print on the GF 218 (Right read) and laminate the two films together. Trim and apply the film on the inside of the window for a “Push Pull” type decal or graphic.
Can this vinyl be contour cut?
Yes. GF 218 WindowMark Blockout™ can be contour cut for medium to larger graphics. This vinyl is not intended to be used for print and cut letters. The ideal applications are decals and window graphics where zero light transmission is required.
