Flat Dot Clear Adhesive Vinyl for Bubble-Free Window Graphics
Buffalo Flat Dot Clear Media is a clear calendered PVC film built to remove bubbles during application, using dot adhesive technology for a dry, professional install. It’s designed for window graphics, glass applications, and other clear-adhesive signage where a smooth, bubble-free finish matters.


Dot Adhesive Technology for a Bubble-Free Install
The adhesive is applied in a dot pattern rather than a solid layer, creating tiny air channels that let trapped air escape during application instead of forming bubbles. This makes for a dry install with no wet-mount solution required, and the graphic can be repositioned initially before the adhesive fully sets — giving installers room to correct placement before it’s final.
Permanent Adhesive That Strengthens Over Time
While the graphic can be repositioned right after application, the adhesive bond strengthens the longer it stays in place, ultimately providing a permanent hold suited to long-term window and glass installations.
Optically Clear PVC Face
The calendered PVC face stock is optically clear, making it well suited to window graphics, glass door signage, and other applications where the surface underneath needs to remain visible around or through the printed design.
Printer and Ink Compatibility
Buffalo Flat Dot Clear Media works with all popular eco-solvent, solvent, latex, and UV curable inkjet printers. It’s built for standard wide-format printers used for window and glass graphics production.
Applications
Well suited to architectural window decorations, glass and plastic flat surfaces, window graphics, labels and decals, and retail aisle banners.
