Need True Opaque Vinyl

We have a project to install printed vinyl over frosted glass panels in an office. We originally tried the GF 201 knowing these would be in very long term. The material says “Opaque White Vinyl” but once installed on the glass you could clearly see the images from the backside of the glass when the lights were on in that room. Looking for something readily available, hopefully under $500 a 54”x150’ roll, that we can print on our Canon Colorado UV Gel Printer. Biggest issue we are facing is hoping we can find a material available in Las Vegas same day? To help some possible answers our Colorado that does have white ink is down so not possible to print a white flood first. We normally would probably opt for the Substance PM-2755 but with the lighting there is still some image showing through. Thoughts? Appreciate any help. TY.

I have had great sucess with General Formulations(GF) 218 WindowMark™ 8.0 mil Blockout Gloss White Dual-Layer Vinyl with Clear Removable Adhesive

I like this stuff as it has a white adhesive side as well compared to 3M 3635-20b white blockout which has a black adhesive side.

GF 218 WindowMark™ Blockout is an 8.0 mil gloss white print media with dual-layer construction. GF 218 is designed to be 100% opaque and is excellent for window graphics and retail displays where total opacity and zero light transmission is required. GF 218 WindowMark™ Blockout is outdoor durable for up to three years and the clear removable adhesive is ideal for shorter-term promotions where clean removability is required. Aprox $250-$350 54" x 100'

Ive got a 6mil opaque perm. 54x150 is $466. I've got stock in Vegas located at 2695 North Lamb Blvd. Suite 120, Las Vegas. Works fine on the Colorado. This is used for a two part push pull double sided window graphic and I've never had anyone say they could see through it.


It is a 3PL warehouse so they generally need a few hours to pick up a roll or you pay a small fee of around $20 for a "rush pickup".
