i am doing a large light box for a customer dark blue back ground,red text with a white outline
i was thinking of printing it instead of using normal vinyl
what are the pros and cons of doing this and what vinyl should i use
Hi Terry,
If you are looking for a good quality in your print and thinking of printing it on regular print vinyl I wouldn’t recommend it. We’ve tried using our standard vinyl and our transparent vinyl but seem to get eighter a dark and dull print (regular vinyl) or a print with too little contrast (transparent vinyl). I have yet to try using a print vinyl specially created for the use in light boxes, but I do know that they exist.
Hope that helps.
You should use something called "Backlit Film". I´m not familiar with suppliers in the UK, but you could perhaps ask your regular supplier of print vinyl.
