    Hi All.

    I have a customer who would like to know if I can create the effect mentioned similar to the image below. Can I do this using frosted vinyl? All ideas welcome!

    digital print shading onto frosted vinyl might work….needs testing.

    I have done what cheryl said, works well, i even put a photo in it.
    The photo was converted to grey scale and then very much over brightened, almost a water mark. the greys have to be very light otherwise when printed on the frost look too dark

    Have a play, i have had some good results.

    3M used to market a tape called Accentrim™ that created the illusion of a beveled edge – but not seen it in the UK for a while now.

    may be worth a call to Wm Smith to see if they stock it
