Hi there!
A lot of you make your own marquees using various vector-drawn pictures sandwiched between 2 pieces of plexiglass. I was just wondering what kind of paper you print the marquee images on so that it looks decent when a backlight is on? It can't be regular paper because any image on it looks terrible when backlit.
What do you guys use?

Most people send them off to get printed at places like mamemarquees.com. I think the material ends up being similar to a film, like a transparency, but I have never actually printed one.
I think Kinko's has a type of vellum, or some other kind of film for printing.
For the money, it is NOT worth trying to do this yourself. Send it to mamemarquees.
