printing to vinyl
Hi, I know we have some expert printers on the boards so they should be able to answer this question easily (I hope)
If I am preparing artwork to be printed onto clear vinyl for a lightbox do I need to darken the images at all and if so what sort of percentage.
The images are of food products, burger, chips pizza etc. They will be printed onto clear vinyl and applied to the face of an opal panel, they will then be overlaminated.
Any help greatfully recieved.

hi im not expert but this is whot i have found
printing on to clear even with a opel back board i have found to be still to wishy washy there is in most rips a double print mode if the vinyl can hold the extra ink for this reasonso i print to white vinyl and put that on the opel beware some white vinyls have a grey backing dont use those overlaminate to suit the enviroment

You can do it on translucent white.

Martin,
If i do backlit images with my edge printer, I use a double print option which works well, so I guess if your printer can do an equivilant for inkjet that should be the best option.
Alternativly, I often use a material called “duratrans”? which is a thin photographic style glossy opal film. It looks great when back lit but you need to sandwich it between a sheet of clear 3mm and opal 3mm acrylic as it is not self adhesive.Nigel
