DIY Backlit Printable Film – 5 Sheet Professional Pack
This 8.5" x 11" polyester (PET) film is engineered with a dual-surface finish: a matte printable side and a glossy face. For the best visual depth, print your image on the matte side and view it through the glossy side. This "reverse-lighting" technique provides a protective barrier for your ink while producing a crisp, luminous glow that standard paper or vellum simply cannot match.

✨ Creative & Industrial Uses
💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Glow
🔹 Mirror Printing: Always print your design as a "Mirror Image." By printing on the matte side and viewing through the glossy front, your image gains a deep, vibrant dimension that protects the ink from scratches.
🔹 Wait for the Dry: Though water-resistant once set, let the film dry for at least 15 minutes before handling or mounting to ensure the ink is fully bonded to the matte surface.
🔹 Mounting: For permanent displays, apply a light-tack spray adhesive to the *matte* side after printing and press against your lightbox glass or acrylic.
📊 Quick Technical Guide
🔹 Surface Finish: Matte (Printable) / Glossy (Viewing side).
🔹 Laminating: If using for long-term displays, laminate the matte side only to add UV and extra moisture protection.
🔹 Indoor/Outdoor: Highly recommended for indoor displays. For outdoor use, ensure the film is sealed within a weatherproof lightbox.
