RTL49-10 sheets of 8.5" x 11" - Translucent Backlit Film sheet/Backlight Film for all Inkjet printers & Laser Copiers, Specialized for LED Lightbox | LED Window Displays

Works perfect for our window display!

Need to up the ink saturation to get good color with backlighting. Easy to print on.

Just like the product image shows, these remind me of the back lit real estate window flyers I've often seen hanging in windows for the past several years. But, there are a lot of neat little DIY projects you can use these for like custom light shades or light box images etc. My mother-in-law passed away not long ago and I plan to use these to make a nice nightlight backlighting a small image of her for my wife to use as a hallway nightlight downstairs where her room was in our house while she lived with us. It's easy to print on these and fairly easy to carefully cut to size as well, so it's a fairly easy medium to work with.

Used Canon Pixma inkjet printer. The print dries quickly and colors are vivid. I use prints in a back lit shadow box. Highly recommended!

the best quality of all

I tested a sample sheet by printing a color chart using standard settings for matte paper on a Canon Pixma Pro-10 pigment inkjet printer.The saturation of the colors when backlit is about as I expected for a single layer print. If you want the colors to be anywhere near what you might call vibrant you will need a high CRI backlight. I tested on both an LED light table (first photo, and probably not great CRI) and on a table backlit with a photography light set at a color temperature of 3900K to try to bring out more red (second photo above). The blues suffer with this lower color temperature however.The film prints well on the matte side with an inkjet printer and offers some light diffusion. But you will need to have a fairly uniform back light to start with because it will not hide hot spots like individual LEDs.I'm not sure whether a dye-based inkjet or laser printer might produce better results, but the film package doesn't have any instructions for printer types or settings. As a side note I have found from previous experience that you can sometimes get more vivid color saturation by precisely aligning and stacking two prints. This comes at the expense of brightness.I think the film is fine, but I would want to do more experimentation with different printers and setting in an effort to increase color depth and saturation,

Picked these up for some shadow box designs I've been working on from a DIY project, they did exactly what I hoped for.My work was black and white, so it looked great backlit just from the contrast. My wife had me do a colo print for an idea of her own and we found out you want to bump up the ink and saturation, if not light was bleeding through a little bit. On the second print we got the desired resultsInexpensive and creative fun!

I ordered the 11" x 17" set of 10 sheets which means that I actually have 20 sheets of 8.5" x 11" when they're cut in half.I printed an image from a parade--a flamboyantly dressed bubble man in his bubble car on a sunny day passing through a tree-lined canopy. The colors look fantastic. They look even better when backlit, but the added translucence seems to give the colors a natural boost even when the image isn't backlit.I recommend sending a test sheet through and marking the front of the regular paper so that you're sure to print on the correct side. The information on the package tells you to print on the matte white side whether it goes through an inkjet or laser jet printer.
