Artwork under plexi
« on: April 16, 2004, 02:25:05 pm »
Really quick...

Artwork under the plexi, should I print it on glossy paper or heavy bond paper? I didnt know if on glossy it was too 'reflective'.

Thanks

not if it is under plexi... you won't notice a difference. The glossy will show more vivid color, though.

Nope. With glossy you might get wet-looking spots on black areas - since I realized this I only use heavy bond paper for this. The plexi/lexan makes it look shiny and glossy-like anyway!

yeah, I'd have to agree with that somewhat, though I do have some glossy stuff under lexan and it doesn't have this problem, I imagine many people do have this problem.

I'have tried many ways of printing, the artwork on my cab is now also laminated for extra durability. I want to last this cab (and its artwork) for a really long time! :D
