Ive got a problem...... (printed artwork wanting to adhere to plexi!!) *pics*

It looks like you're using the buttons to hold down the plexi. Try screwing it down around the edges. That would apply more uniform pressure. Even that may not completely work, though. I know exactly what you're talking about, though. I've seen it before.

How about this... Take your print back to the shop and have them laminate it on the printed side. That'll form a protective barrier that would (hopefully) prevent sticking.

Thanks for the suggestion Alan.  Im gonna call the guy at the printshop tomorrow and maybe show him these pics and see if he thinks itll work.

OT - Good work on a great looking panel artwork.  Looks nice and clean.  Hope you can get your problem fixed.
CJK:
Yep, laminate it. That will solve your problem.

There are several solutions to your problem:

1. Yes. Laminate it, but stay away from gloss laminate. That will repeat your problem. If your printshop can put a hotmelt laminate on it, that is recommended. Ask for something called "deep crystal". This should be applied on both sides to prevent bulging. Never use one-sided lamination on paper, hot or cold !

2. Reprint it on complete matt paper. Not the best solution, but better than gloss and semigloss. The plexi will bring back the glossyness.

3. Reprint it on self-adhesive vinyl and coat it with a cold structured "crystal" laminate. If your printshop knows it
