Age old problem that won't ever have a solution. As you know, window tinting is a trade, problem is that it is a trade that requires no significant license or oversight to get into. And a surplus of suppliers willing to whore out rolls of film to anyone with a credit card. Once anew hire figures out hitch side of the film sticks..they flee and open up their own "shop" ...been that way since before I started in this business ( 1985 ) ..and will be that way until I'm pushing up daisies

If there is a cap sheet, I imagine it's because the film has no SR coating and the cap sheet allows you to install without scratching the film. The Achilles heel of exterior films is its SR coating.. they no likely the elements. 

Mfrs hold their construction formulas pretty close to the vest. That said, Hanita was really the pioneer in the field, IMO it is primarily due to the fact that their large presence overseas required them to develop film that can be applied on the outside..because triple pane glass is far more commonplace in places outside the US. As well as other high performance glass types that are not receptive to interior film. 
 Companies like Eastman etc slap their AG coating on their films..and call it exterior film.. it may hold up longer than their standard SR coating..but is certainly not on par with Hanitas design. 

We are all commercial, so when I'm on the job site, I snap them and stick them in my pouch. Once we are done for the day or two, I dump them from my pouch into the trash bag or barrel. .. it's worked for 30 years so I see no reason to reinvent the wheel. 

As has been stated by S2S, look at Hanita. It's the best quality exterior film on the market today. 

I'm going to have to disagree on this with you. Your side or the argument is that the spoon made me fat.. and the gun killed the kid.. simply not the case at any time. As far as how this relates to Window Film, it's a pretty simple metric to control if the mfrs wanted to ( they don't ) .. So inevitably, the auto sector of this industry will continue to struggle for relevance. And continue to see lower quality entries into the system.

Glad to be back here. Been a long time. 

Junkiedude  failed to mention that he has to split that 50k with me. Just sayin...

I have absolutely no idea... I missed Binary day in school...

This is another one of our printed projects we have done in the past few weeks. It's Binary print that relates to the company's services. We printed and installed about 1800 SF of it on their conference rooms and offices.

For years we just used the simple finish carpenter pouch you get at Home Depot for 10.00, on occasion, our rep  would stop in and drop off a few that were branded with the Mfrs logo. ..they were free. ..I bought one from Quick Draw..and could not get rid of it fast enough.. Recently we got a few from Mike Sanchez.. and IMO, they are the best on the market. Very very well thought out and super high quality. He also embroidered our logo in them and added our company colors on the piping. 

We have removed thousands of SF of that stuff. Bag it..keep it wet..and wait. .the longer you let it soak..the easier your job will be. Also helps to cut it into 8-10" wide strips when pulling it off. 

Part of a custom print project we are working on now. It's about 4500 sf of this dual gradient  pattern we designed and printed in house
