Polyester-based films are widely used for optically clear window graphics with both display and decor applications. Lintec, Natura, Drytac, Sihl manufacture this type of film, among others.
I might suggest that you take a more critical look at the image posted by the OP in post 16 - specifically in the dark browns and black areas of the image, compared with the lighter pastel colors. There is a significant amount of gloss that is visible only in the more heavily inked areas in the...
The original poster is printing to a non-textured, matte SAV wallcovering media (Avery MPI 2611), and his customer is complaining about the glossiness of the eco-solvent ink being used. This issue is referred to as gloss differential, and it can be a problem with decor applications like...

All inks offered for sale are required to make available an MDS (used to be called MSDS) document which discloses the ingredients and percentage volume (within ranges) of the ink.
These documents are supposed to follow a standardized format, and also should disclose hazardous components and...
Good suggestions in this thread.
The issue is getting enough ink onto the media to remain opaque when backlit. That has everything to do with the amount of ink being deposited (ink density) in the print mode being used. Standard print modes for frontlit opaque medias are typically in the 100...
