Applying a white substrate to acrylic is not a good idea because you need to trim it with a razor blade. That is why QLT is only suggesting to apply there transparency film to glass.

Trimming vinyl around the edge of acrylic is simple and does no damage.
The problems with doing the color transfer to acrylic are only a few big ones. The UV adhesive does not grab to acrylic well. When it hardens it leaves a bead of set adhesive around the edge. This bead is easy to trim off crystal but will scrape the acrylic and start it to lift off the acrylic. I have tested it with the Chroma products and their advice to not use it on acrylic is sound. I'll stick to OEM transfer for that.

Oh I forgot the transfers are transparent, that is why you have to do that.
Sorry my mistake.
