Yes you could with the backlit film.... that's exactly what the stuff is designed for. But the results will not be as good as ordering from a professional marquee printer like Mamemarquees. If you find somebody who has an A3 printer then you could just cut it into a strip and run the whole marquee at once in one piece.

The Vinyl is not for inkjet printing with the type of inks you find in a normal inkjet. It's mostly used with special printing inks that are more like paint than ink and are much tougher and waterproof when dry. Your domestic printer will not handle those.
