    Films for inkjet printing

    This section holds the films that an ordinary inkjet printer prints on. There are two different product types here and they are easy to confuse: self-adhesive film carries an applied adhesive layer and a liner — after printing you peel the liner off and have a finished sticker; ordinary film has no adhesive — after printing you are left with a clean printed sheet or web. Type is the main axis of choice and it sits in the "Type" filter on the left: the value "Self-adhesive" shows the films with adhesive, the value "Ordinary" shows transparent films with no adhesive for overlays, templates and transparent inserts. From there narrow down by material, surface, colour, format and the "Feature" attribute.

      The two main types in this section

       

      Choose the type first — it decides what you actually get after printing; the other axes work inside the type you picked. Besides the two main types the section holds narrower ones: self-destructing self-adhesive films and tamper-evident labels for sealing, plus heat-shrink film for packaging.

      VariantValue of the "Type" filterWhat you get after printingTypical job

      Who this section is not for

       
      You have an inkjet printer and need material it will take
      You need a sticker — choose the "Self-adhesive" type
      You need a transparent sheet with no adhesive — choose the "Ordinary" type
      You have a laser printer — most items here are made for inkjet, so check the "Print type" axis in the filter
      You need to print on heavy board or textile — those are other sections of the catalogue
      You are looking for ready-die-cut labels on a roll for a label applicator — this section holds sheet and roll materials for your own printing

      Where people go wrong most often in this section

       
      Bought transparent film and it does not stick

      Cause: transparent PET exists in both types: self-adhesive and ordinary look identical in a photo

      Fix: check the "Type" filter: "Self-adhesive" has the adhesive, "Ordinary" does not
      Bought self-adhesive film when a clean transparent sheet was needed

      Cause: the adhesive layer and liner are pointless for that job

      Fix: take ordinary transparent film
      The film did not go through a laser printer

      Cause: most items in the section are made for inkjet printing

      Fix: check the "Print type" axis before ordering
      The wrong item was picked on the "Feature" axis

      Cause: water-resistant and non-water-resistant variants look the same in a photo

      Fix: check the "Feature" axis in the filter before ordering — transparent films without adhesive come in both

      The shared path and the point where it splits

       
      Key step
      Choose the type before you buy
      The "Type" filter decides the main thing: "Self-adhesive" gives a sticker, "Ordinary" gives a transparent sheet with no adhesive. A mistake at this step cannot be fixed by print settings.
      Identify the working side
      The ink-receptive coating is applied on one side. A test strip on a single sheet: on the working side the ink lies evenly, on the reverse it beads up.
      Check the settings with a test print
      Print modes differ from printer to printer and from ink to ink, so make a small test print on your own settings before a production run.
      Let the print dry
      Do not stack sheets while the ink still transfers to the touch.
      From here the paths split
      Self-adhesive film: cut to the outline, peel the liner, stick it onto a prepared surface. Ordinary film: use the transparent sheet as it is — as an overlay on a drawing, a template, a transparent insert; mounting, where it is needed at all, is bought separately.

      FAQ about "Self-adhesive film for inkjet printing":

      The adhesive layer. On self-adhesive film it is applied to the back and covered by a liner: you print, peel the liner, stick it down. Ordinary film has no adhesive and no liner at all — after printing you are left with a clean transparent sheet, which is either mounted separately or not mounted at all.

      No. Transparent PET appears among both the self-adhesive and the ordinary films — they look alike. Only the "Type" filter tells them apart.

      For transparent overlays on drawings and diagrams, templates, transparent inserts and sheets for projection — adhesive would only get in the way there. It is also taken for screen-printing positives, but that is guidance at the level of the class of transparent media: the printed black has to block ultraviolet at 350–420 nm. We have not measured the optical density of individual items, so a short test exposure in your own process is needed before a production run.

      It is the value of the catalogue "Feature" attribute: items are split into "Water-resistant" and "Not water-resistant". The catalogue gives no test method, so we do not describe how a print behaves in water — this is an axis for choosing, not a durability rating.

      Most items in the section are made for inkjet printing. Items for laser are marked on the "Print type" axis — check it before ordering.

      By what your printer feeds: sheets need sheet feeding in that format, a roll needs roll feeding of the matching width. All the roll items are gathered here: all the rolls in the section.

      The ink dries in about 10–15 seconds (a few minutes for heavy solid fills). After that you can plotter-cut and apply the film.

      Holographic — a rainbow shimmer for festive decor and sticker-bombing. Mirror — a bright metallic mirror effect for premium labels. Brushed — a matte aged-metal look for vintage and craft labels.
