Definition

A translucent media designed for printing graphics that will be illuminated from behind, such as in lightboxes and illuminated signage.

In-Depth Explanation

Backlight film requires special print settings with higher ink density to ensure vibrant colors when backlit. DesignJet printers with pigment inks (like the Z-Series) produce excellent backlit prints with high color density. The media profile for backlight film typically uses more ink and slower print speeds compared to standard media.
