notes when designing foryour backlit display
Avoid large areas of solid blackor very dark color
Because the fabric needs to allow light to shine through the fabric to illuminate the printed colors, very dark colors can appear to be washed out or faded. This is especially true for large areas of solid black. We recommend avoiding large areas of solid black or very dark color. For best results, use light and/or bright colors rather than dark colors.backlit vsfrontlit colors
Please keep in mind that the eye perceives backlit vs. frontlit colors differently. As a result, the difference in colors between backlit and frontlit products can seem significant, even if they are the same color.
backlit displaygraphic
Please note that when you receive your backlit display graphic, out of the box the colors may look different than you expect. You will need to assemble your display, install the graphic, and turn on the lights in order to see accurate colors. Our printers are calibrated for color accuracy only once the graphic is lit. The colors may not be accurate if the graphic is not backlit.examples
