A common and reliable build consists of:

1. CMYK layer (the design)
2. White layer (for legibility and color support)
3. Black layer (for better see-through effect).

These layers are printed in mirror image, given internal mounting.

Very important. Excessive ink use can:

• partially block perforations,
• reduce the see-through effect,
• and negatively affect adhesion to the glass.

The white layer does not have to be completely opaque. It should support sufficiently, without oversaturation. In practice, optimal coverage is often below 100%. Test prints are essential to fine-tune this correctly.

The black layer absorbs light and improves the see-through effect from inside to outside. A light black "flood" (usually 100% black) is sufficient; additional ink does not add value and increases the risk of problems.

Yes. With UV inkjet printing, correct curing is crucial:

• Too little curing can lead to ink accumulation in the perforations
• Too much heat can cause edge curl or material stress

Proper balance prevents adhesion problems and visual defects.

The main advantage lies in the 1 mm microperforations, which are 60% smaller in area than those in traditional films. This results in graphics with higher definition and minimal distortion, creating a clearer image while maintaining excellent interior transparency.

Contra Vision Performance HD Clear is specifically designed for interior application. It is not recommended for application along the exterior, as it may not be able to withstand external elements well. Application along the inside protects the graphics from weather, vandalism and dirt, extending the life of the image.

Yes, white ink should be used for printing on Performance HD Clear. The design should be printed in mirror image and then coated with white ink followed by a layer of black ink. This process ensures optimum opacity and the desired one-way vision effect.

The film's microperforations create a one-way vision effect. From the outside, the printed images are prominent, blocking the view inward. From the interior, the unprinted side provides a clear view through the perforations, maintaining the connection to the exterior environment.

While Performance HD Clear is compatible with most standard glass surfaces, it is not recommended for use on glass with coatings such as anti-reflective, self-cleaning or scratch-resistant treatments, as these may be damaged during film removal. It is advisable to test a small area before full application.

The minimum application temperature for this film is +4°C (39°F). Application of the film at temperatures below this threshold may affect adhesion and overall performance.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the film, clean it regularly with mild, non-abrasive detergents and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that may damage the surface of the film.

No, after removal, the film is not intended to be reused. Please remove the film carefully to avoid leaving adhesive residue on the glass surface.

Overlaminating is not recommended for perforated window films such as Performance HD Clear because it can clog the perforations and reduce the see-through effect. The film is designed to perform optimally without additional lamination.
