High-Qaulity Backlit Posters with
Unmatched Customer Service

In comparison to a traditional double-sided poster, a backlit poster is a poster printed on a tranluscent polyester film coated with a formulated printing surface specifically designed for optimum performance in a light-box environment, which allows the backlit poster to "illuminate" when mounted in a light-box.

When provided with files that are the proper file format and resolution, Backlit Posters can produce AMAZING prints that will exceed your expectations. While many file formats are acceptable (.jpg, .pdf, .tif, .eps, .ai), for the sake of simplicity and ease of providing your file, we highly recommend submitting your file to us as a Maximum Quality Jpeg or a PDF, in order of preference. When designing your Backlit Poster, it is important to design your file at the size you intend it to print at a resolution of 150-300 dpi. Submitting a file smaller than it's intended print size will require us to resize it which can decrease the quality of the final print. If you are not a graphic designer and are not sure what size or resolution you have, or are not able to correct a file, send it our way and we'll provide you with a free evaluation. Back to FAQ

Files should be created and submitted in CMYK. While RGB is fantastic for on-screen presentations, when it comes to print, many colors (especially bright primaries and florescent colors) will be out of gamut for printing. What this means is, the printer will automatically convert these colors to the closest "printable" color, which may result in an undesireable results in the final print. Bright blues will turn purple, bright pinks will turn a dull lavendar, etc. It is advised to design your files in CMYK to ensure that all colors will be within the printers capabilities. Back to FAQ

The short answer is no. Different displays show colors differently, depending on their calibration. And, while RGB colors may look one way on screen, they may not look the same in print. Our emailed or "soft" proofs are not intended to show color accuracy, but instead are an opportunity to 1) ensure that the right file is going to print; and 2) give the client a final opportunity to make spelling or graphic corrections to their artwork before going to print. Color matching is not a perfect science and is never guaranteed or implied. If you have concerns about any of the colors in your design, let us know when providing your file and we will be happy to help address those concerns. Back to FAQ
