Abstract
The present disclosure is drawn to printable films. In one example, a printable film can include a transparent polymeric film substrate, an image receiving layer on a front surface of the transparent polymeric film substrate, and a light diffusing layer on a back surface of the transparent polymer film substrate. The image receiving layer can include polymerized vinyl chloride monomer blended with or copolymerized with a second polymerized monomer. The light diffusing layer can include particles of a first inorganic material, particles of a second inorganic material, and a binder.
