7.5 mil Fusion Soft Polyester is great for pages in outdoor books and manuals, flight and sailing logs, and the inside pages for saddle stitched books or menus.

7.5 mil Fusion Soft Polyester is also available in 12” x 47” banner size to easily create colourful, water and tear resistant banners for indoor or outdoor applications on equipment with banner capabilities.

Fusion Crystal Clear Cling is an optically clear window cling engineered specifically for high heat production toner equipment. It’s not white, it’s not frosty clear, it truly is optically clear.

The toner adhesion is excellent and you will get great print fidelity. The message is easily readable yet the clear window cling does not obstruct the view outside the way an opaque cling would. Fusion Crystal Clear Cling is completely weather resistant and is perfect for mounting on windows out of doors.

It can be applied dry or wet but the use of a felt squeegee is recommended in order to get the air bubbles out. After 48 hours the air bubbles “wet out” and the product reaches maximum clarity. The proprietary adhesive treatment is also resistant to

fingerprints, which will also “wet out” after about 48 hours. Regular vinyls made for windows certainly don’t do that!

Fusion Crystal Clear Cling is made of polyester which is strong and will not stretch, yellow, sag or crack like vinyls do and Fusion Crystal Clear Cling is also available in wide format rolls suitable for printing with U.V. ink systems.
