HDWhite: Custom printed white designs on optically clear window film

HDWhite custom white printed window film uses high-definition white printing technology developed by HDClear. The process replicates just about any image, pattern or gradient onto optically clear polyester film (PET) with stunning results and ease of installation.

Our unique process removes the need for cutting and weeding from vinyl or screen-printing onto films, both of which are lengthy and costly processes.

Our most common HDWhite projects are those involving custom printing patterns similar to 3M Fasara, Solyx, or alternate pre-manufactured films. Since we can match the white levels and patterns on our optically clear 72” wide film, we have become the industry leader in all white related decorative window film projects.

Benefits of white printed window film

HDClear developed HDWhite as an independent line to account for all the global graphics interest in white patterns. White allows a huge amount of light penetration while simultaneously offering privacy – making it very popular with architects and designers.

The flexibility and broad application for white printed window film is made even more attractive with an industry-first 10-year warranty.

Experience that counts

As a notoriously difficult color to print, expertise and experience in printed white onto window films can make all the difference to your end product. We have years of experience and printed miles of white-scale projects and are unmatched in controlling translucency levels.

We can use this experience to help you specify and design your window film solutions. For instance, a crucial note is that white surfaces reflect about 80% of the ambient light while black surfaces only reflect about 5%. White’s higher reflectance usually affects translucency perceptions and a good rule of thumb is to consider 20% lighter translucency with white-scale projects than you would with greyscale or color-scale projects. As an example, 20% White-scale is similar in appearance to a 40% Greyscale.

What makes HDWhite architectural window film different?

HDWhite works with true, optically clear polyester film (PET). We use a unique printing process with white inks. Applied in layers, our proprietary process allows graphics to be viewed from one or both sides of the glazing, permitting natural light to flood through. Our optically clear polyester film outlasts all traditional vinyl graphic applications to flat glass areas.

Optical clarity

The HDClear PET substrate is a true polyester-based blast mitigation film with almost 100% optical clarity in the un-printed areas. When properly fitted to glazing, the film becomes undetectable. To put it simply, the film is virtually as clear as the glazing it is applied to. The substantial added benefit of clarity makes the images appear as part of the glazing. Our film bypasses inherent problems and cost of decorative laminated glass or direct-to-glass printing.
