What is a Backlit Poster and how does it work?

A Backlit Poster (also known as Backlit Film or Duratrans-style print) is printed on a specialized semi-transparent polyester material. Unlike standard paper, this media is designed to allow light to pass through it evenly from behind. When placed in a lightbox, the light illuminates the ink, making colors appear significantly more vibrant, blacks deeper, and the overall image "glow."

Can I use a normal paper poster in a lightbox?

While you can put a paper poster in a lightbox, it is not recommended. Standard paper is opaque and often shows the "grain" of the wood pulp when lit from behind, resulting in a dull, mottled, and unprofessional look. Backlit film is engineered with a built-in diffuser layer that ensures the light is spread smoothly across the entire graphic without "hotspots."

Are backlit posters suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Our backlit posters are printed using UV-stable or Eco-Solvent inks which are 100% waterproof and fade-resistant. When used inside a waterproof outdoor lightbox or "6-sheet" bus shelter frame, they will remain vibrant and durable for years, even in direct sunlight.
