I don't know if it's relevant in your case, but when an image is printed on glass it behaves differently, depending on the position of the light source. It behaves as you expect, as a positive image when using reflected light, but behaves as a negative when using transmitted light. (FWIW, I could not believe this, in my gut, until I tried it myself.) So if you want to look at it using transmitted light, you have to print the negative on the glass.
You'll have to be pretty clever and use some sophisticated setup if you want to have the image look the same from both sides.
Also, I recommend glass rather than some flexible material.
Again, just my take,

Hi,
quick question to those who may know; I want to print some images to be displayed on glass, so they are visible from both sides of the glass (the images will be exhibited in a greenhouse). What material should I be looking to print it on? Would it be acetate, or Duratrans? And does such a material come as self adhesive? I'm thinking of the kind of stuff you sometime see window graphics displayed on...
Any advice appreciated.
cheers,
Jonathan.
