Product Description
Metamark MD3-RC Clear Removable Printable Vinyl — 54" × 55 Yards
Metamark MD3-RC is a clear gloss digital print vinyl designed for removable window graphics, retail promotions, temporary displays, decorative graphics, and applications where a transparent background is required.
This intermediate-grade printable film delivers high-quality print results and features a removable clear solvent-based acrylic adhesive. When applied to a suitable surface, the adhesive allows the finished graphic to be removed cleanly for up to six months.
Metamark MD3-RC can also be applied to solid substrates when the design requires the substrate color or surface to remain visible through unprinted areas of the graphic.
Please note: Although this film is transparent, it is not optically clear. It should not be used for applications requiring distortion-free visibility through the film.
Roll Size: 54 inches × 55 yards

Printing and Installation Recommendations
Always perform a test print and confirm the correct printer profile, ink limits, and heater settings before beginning production. Allow the material to reach room temperature and keep the printing surface clean, dry, and free from dust and static.
For solvent and eco-solvent printing, allow a minimum of 24 to 48 hours for the printed vinyl to outgas before laminating or installing. Heavy ink coverage or certain environmental conditions may require additional drying time. Retained solvents can reduce adhesive performance.
Overlamination is recommended to improve abrasion resistance, extend printed color performance, and simplify installation. The recommended matched overlaminate is the Metamark MetaGuard MG-300 Series.
The installer should test the intended substrate and removal requirements before production. Clean removal depends on the substrate, surface condition, installation environment, exposure, and length of time installed.
Metamark MD3-RC is not recommended for low-surface-energy materials such as polypropylene.
Important: Printed, processed, and custom-cut materials are not returnable. Product performance depends on proper printing, drying, storage, surface preparation, installation, exposure, and removal procedures.
