When talking about printing industry, we all have heard of first surface printing and second surface printing. When dealing with clear material as a printing substrate it is important to know which side of the clear material the print should go on.
Printing on the front side of the substrate is considered as first surface printing and is used in much common practice. And second surface printing means that the artwork that is going to be printed on a substrate, or the clear material will be mirrored (i.e. reflected) so that the end user looks through the material to see the printed graphic in the correct orientation. Think of it as if you’re printing on the back of the material but will be looking at the image from the front side and through the material.
