photoluminescent exit signs – should i produce inhouse
Hi all, im quoting a large job atm and within it is 30 off photoluminescent exit signs.
I was going to buy these in but prices seem pretty high, then thought can i produce them. Not something i have done before, having read through old posts seems its more than possible but i have a few questions –
Is there an eco solvent printable vinyl that would give good results?
Is flooding the sign in photoluminescent vinyl then overlaying normal green cut vinyl a better option?
Do either of these options work that well?
Is it a waste of time and just buy them in :smiles:, just thought if i look into it could be some production money to be made out of it.
Thanks in advance, hopefully someone has tackled this before

I did this using some 1.5mm (?) phosoluminescent solid pvc sheet. printed onto clear and just laminated it on! I’m certain I bought the panels through a former incarnation of europoint but when I last tried to get some they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. I’m fairly certain it was an oracal / orafol product,

Oracal does a great photoluminescent that you can digitally print. its the closest to white I have seen, yet photoluminescent.
