    I’ve been given a roll of this to print onto (I know it’s Sign vinyl and not Digital vinyl)

    Did a quick test print and it’s good but when I put it onto a lightbox then it’s not too great ie light not shining through that well but that could be down to the ink passes and setup of the test print being too high

    My question is does anyone have any tips for printing on "transparency"?

    Just checked how it was printed last time

    Generic Vinyl 1
    Standard (720x720dpi)
    CMYK (v) W-PASS
    Per-Press U.S.

    I reckon the best result for lightboxes is printed on translucent white with 3 passes to increase the ink density. I’ve never used pre-press US setting only sign & display.
