A vision control panel for application to a transparent surface includes a poly-coated adhesive release liner adhered to the underside of a vinyl or paper substrate, a primary coating overlying the opposite side of the substrate, a first ink receptor coating overlying the binder coating, a second ink receptor coating overlying the first ink receptor coating, a printed image on the second ink receptor coating and a protectant over-laminate. With the exception of the protectant over-laminate, the underlying layers are perforated to enable an observer on the inside of the transparent surface to see through the panel, i.e., through the perforations, while an observer on the opposite side of the panel sees only the image printed on the panel. Retroreflective material may be applied to the substrate to enhance the intensity of the image under nighttime conditions. To fabricate the panel, a non-perforated release liner is applied to the poly-coated liner prior to applying the second ink receptor coating and subsequent to perforating. Next, the second ink receptor coating is applied over the first ink receptor coating and onto the surface portions of the non-perforated liner in registration with the perforations to dry the ink subsequently applied during printing. The non-perforated liner is removed with the ink surface portions thereof and the protectant over-laminate is subsequently applied. |
