Xerox Wide Format Supplies Applications Guide

Version 2.0; April 2005

Lamination • Try using a 125 or 250 micron white laminate backing to aid in light diffusion.

Mounting • Backlit graphics can be mounted to a substrate if required. Typical backlit mounting substrates include Plexiglas

and Lexan

6. Backlit Display

6.1 Application Definition

A high quality, photo-realistic graphic placed in a fixture that is illuminated from the rear is a “backlit” display.

The fixture is typically mounted to a wall or stand. The image quality of a backlit graphic should not “wash-out”

when viewed under fixture lights or be too dark (or dense) when the lights are turned off. Paper backlit displays are

intended for interior or short-term exterior. Using a paper print, laminated or otherwise, sometimes provides a lower

cost, high resolution solution allowing customers to change prints more frequently than if using a traditional film

material. A blue backing on paper helps to provide a more even light diffusion, masking any mottling from paper

fibre formation that becomes evident as a result of the light. Extra opacity helps to maintain strong image color

both lit and unlit.

6.2 Suggested Application Ideas

Signage, advertising and merchandising, in garages, entertainment centers, bus/rail shelters, airports,

metro/underground/subway stations, restaurants, shops, kiosks, window display units, elevators, interior

menu boards, exchange rate outlets, price lists, point-of-purchase displays, vending machines.
