💡 Inkjet Printable Backlit Film

Our backlit film is a printable, inkjet-compatible PET sheet designed to glow from behind. Perfect for home lightboxes, pinball backglass art, dollhouses, signage, and glowing displays, this 7 mil film is water-resistant and durable. Each 8.5" x 11" sheet features a special matte print surface on one side and a glossy face for mirror viewing when lit.

Each pack includes 5 blank backlit sheets designed for use with dye or pigment ink printers. The coated matte surface ensures superior adhesion, quick drying, and high-opacity color output when illuminated. Whether you're designing mood lighting, glowing signage, or nostalgic art, this printable film delivers professional results from your home printer.

This backlit PET film works best when printed in mirror mode and viewed from the glossy side with light shining through the back. Laminate the matte side to add scratch, UV, and water resistance for long-term indoor displays. It’s compatible with most inkjet printers and ideal for reverse lighting setups, gallery art, DIY lampshades, or night light photography.
