Product Description
Clear Direct-Print Floor Graphics Film – No Laminate Required
ASLAN Print’nGo DFP 44 is a clear, self-adhesive digital printing film designed for indoor floor graphics.
Its transparent construction makes it especially useful when installers want to add printed messaging, logos, directional graphics, or decorative elements while allowing the underlying floor to remain visible.
The film features an integrated textured, slip-resistant surface, so it can be printed directly without requiring a separate floor laminate.
At approximately 5.5 mil / 140 micron, DFP 44 provides a substantial printable film while maintaining a clear appearance for specialty floor graphic applications.

Why Choose Clear DFP 44?
The biggest advantage of DFP 44 over a traditional white floor film is its clear construction.
Instead of covering the entire floor surface with a white background, DFP 44 allows the substrate underneath to remain part of the finished design.
This can be especially effective on:
- Polished concrete
- Tile
- Decorative flooring
- Colored floors
- Hardwood-look surfaces
- Branded interior environments
A designer can print only the required logo, text, or graphic elements while allowing the surrounding floor to show through.
DFP 44 vs. DFP 43
For KGSupplies.com, I would make the distinction between these two products very clear:
Print’nGo DFP 43
- White film
- Best when full color and opacity are needed
- Provides a white printing base
Print’nGo DFP 44
- Clear film
- Best when the existing floor should remain visible
- Great for logos, lettering, directional elements, and transparent graphic effects
Both provide integrated slip resistance and eliminate the need for an additional laminate.
R12 Slip-Resistance Performance
ASLAN lists multiple slip-resistance classifications for Print’nGo DFP 44:
DIN 51130: R12
DIN 51097: Class C for wet barefoot walkways
ANSI: A137.1 / A326.3
Pendulum Test: BS 7976:2
This gives print shops a floor graphics material designed around both graphics production and slip-resistance performance.
Print Compatibility
Print’nGo DFP 44 is compatible with:
- Solvent
- Eco-solvent
- Latex
- UV-curable inks
Printed inks must be allowed to dry completely before installation.
Proper drying helps prevent the inks from negatively affecting either the film or adhesive.
Specialized Slip-Resistant Surface
Small glass particles are incorporated into the film's surface to create its textured, high-friction finish.
ASLAN states that the surface texture does not negatively affect the printing process.
Small dark particles may occasionally be visible in the film as a result of production. According to ASLAN, these do not affect functionality and are nearly invisible once the product is installed on the floor.
