Hi again... :)
Thanks to all of you for checking out my "cling thing" project... ;)
Maria... the clings stay put until you peel them off. They can be wiped clean of dust with a wet sponge when it's time to clean the door glass. Static cling holds them on, but you'll get even better results (clearer from both sides of the glass) if you wet the window first using a solution of water and a few drops of mild liquid soap. You can then smoosh (sorry to get technical... lol!) the clings around until they're in the perfect position. Then you take a rubber squeegee (or, as Leighton suggested, a credit card with a couple of layers of masking tape over one edge so you won't scratch the artwork) and squish out all of the water/soap solution. That way there are no trapped air bubbles.
The plotter used to print the clings is capable of 29" in height... but almost unlimited in width. Or the other way around, depending on the orientation you'll be using.
Gunsan... I'm thinking the OH material might work better for you as a lamp shade because it's a little more rigid than the vinyl cling stock... but I may be wrong. As far as using the vinyl clings in your own printer... I've never seen it sold anywhere... and especially not in single sheets.
Thanks again, all... :) Hugs! Helen
