The purpose of this application, is to reach the
same visual effect with and without light emit-
ted through the back of the image.
Most backlight applications look as they should,
when light is emitted through the back, but look
too dark when the light is turned off.
We use a clear plexi, or a glass surface for this application.
The images are printed in mirror, as we will look through the back of the media, which will
also give an extra glossy punch to the image.
First, only the image(color) is printed, and in the second print run we print the white back-
ground, and the image again.
Notice that the text is only printed in the fi rst print run and not in the second.
This is due to the fact that there is no feedback option for the color print in the AgfaRip at
this stage, it will be in the future. Therefore, as we need to manually re-align the media after
the fi rst print run, which can cause a slight misalignment, and that might be visual when
small text needs to be printed twice in register.
When printing on multiple small media sizes, it’s best to use a spacer between the
media when you place them on the table, as the heat from the lamps can expand the media,
which will visually show on the far most media. The space between media only needs to be
2mm. (the spacers are only used to position correctly, should not be there when printing!)
