BACKLIT GRAPHICS
Backlit Graphics utilizes a light source from behind the graphic to shine through the material and ink to make the printing illuminate. Specifically designed for low-light or nighttime exterior and interior advertisements, translites are naturally eye-catching. Given the nature of the illuminated display, a quality translite printing job must be vibrant to the point of being oversaturated with color. This process is to prevent the image from looking dull or washed out when finally displayed.
Translite graphic printing is commonly seen in public advertising and branding efforts. Common applications include:
Point-of-Purchase Retail Environments in the museums
Event announcements
Feature exhibit promotion
Backlit Posters
Directional signages
Translites are affected by a host of factors, including surface printing. Graphics printed on clear materials can be printed on the front or back of the material, also known as 1st surface (front) and 2nd surface (back) which changes the effect of the illumination. How translucent a white material is – or how much whiteness it still retains after being backlit- can also impact illumination effectiveness. As an example, there are many shades of white acrylic designed to dissipate the light differently which show the printed colors differently. In addition, advertisers and other users need to keep in mind that distance matters. Light from the source needs some distance to spread properly and illuminate the translite. Positioning the source too close to the back of the image can create a hot spot, reducing effectiveness and potentially damaging the signage. Lighting the graphic from the edge of the material is also possible, but this procedure is material-dependent and requires expertise.
Suitable for advertisements, retail displays, POP and event graphics in illuminated backlit light boxes. We also offer our printing services for reverse print translucent polyester film for backlit light box display graphics. The film’s ultra-white diffusing layer accepts print onto the matte side for a glossy finish. After printing your backlit posters they can be sealed with a gloss laminate to protect them from scratching when loading into display units.

Effective and Informative Graphics tend to get noticed when done well. People see these high quality graphics and use them to get information which will last for a longer time in their mind. Every one notices a bad quality print but will ignore at the first look.
Colorful Graphics set a tone. They can give a museum or other business an identity. Consequently, it’s important to take a museum’s brand or image into consideration when designing graphics.
The essential elements for Museum Graphics include:
COLORS
Colors can evoke emotions, so it’s important to consider whether the museum’s brand image is subtle and sophisticated, bold and playful, or something in between. Colors, along with designs and textures, can be used to designate different sections of a gallery or levels of a building.
TYPOGRAPHY
Museum signage should be legible without much effort on the part of the visitor. This means that typography should be clean and simple to avoid confusion and large enough to be read from a distance. Museum visitors are often absorbing information on signs while on the move, so messages should be relayed as clearly and quickly as possible.
