Print media for windows ?

I have an upcoming project, where the client needs some privacy, though would like the ability to see the printed design - from both side.
That said, I contacted an agent of supplies, and explained the same, though what I received is not what I expected from our conversation.
product received: Briteline IM3205-54

It produces outstanding prints, though once the backing paper is removed, it is clear. Not to mention, I don't have a white tank on the printer.
*Client does not want perforated media.

So what I'm seeking, is a white media with a clear adhesive, so that some outdoor daylight can pass through it and the image seen from either side.
Can someone of experience please offer suggestions?

Thanks in advance ;)

That's doesn't exist. But never say never, I'm definitely interested in following this thread.
Thanks for your reply, Precision. Best info I could find was from this video, and I skipped to the end.:

"How to Print & Cut Reverse Window Stickers"​


I have Arlon 8000X here with a clear adhesive, though overkill for such a purpose.

This thread overlaps with your question -

GF201 was said to allow the image to still be seen from inside. It's white with clear adhesive.
But I think it's going to be as Precision said - your exact requested product doesn't exist - you'll have to trial and error to find something with an opacity that "works" for your application.

Continental has a product called Two Way Vision. It is a clear vinyl with clear adhesive but the vinyl has white prisms already printed on the vinyl....what it does is allows for a fake white point of sorts and it holds light so at night it doesn't disappear...it almost has a backlit effect. It is very cool and once people get their arms around it, they tend to really love finding new uses.

It does not provide total privacy, but with full coverage or near full coverage, it pretty much does. It's worth ordering a test roll.

Think of it as bizzarro perf.

In Canada you can get it from Treck Hall. Here's a link to the Continental page: https://cgxusa.com/products/panorama-two-way-vision/

Also just a white vinyl with clear removable adhesive would allow for the image to be seen from both sides during the day. Every distributor usually has one. Ours is primarily used for floor graphics but there's no reason why it wouldn't be just fine on your window.
