Backlit film (duratrans) is a semi-rigid, flexible and heavy duty material that is translucent and allows light to shine through from behind so that the printed design “lights up” when illuminated. Graphics and text are printed directly on to the film with high quality UV resistant solvent inks.
We use the highest quality backlit film in the industry. Better than duratrans, our 10 mil backlit film is a durable opaque translucent film which is moisture, smear, scratch and fade resistant. Our 8 color eco-solvent high resolution print process delivers a vibrant photo quality print perfect for any indoor or outdoor backlit application.
Combining our ink process with only the highest quality film results in prints that last 20 times longer than others and that remain bright and vivid by withstanding UV sunlight for years.

Remember that backlit film will print and appear darker than your original image when you receive it and before illuminating it. This is necessary so that when lit from behind, the image is vivid and not ‘washed out’. Like it’s name implies, backlit film is meant to be backlit and looks best when placed in backlit applications (light boxes, menu boards, lit frames, bright windows, etc.)

We recently ordered a backlit film to place in an old Helmscene illuminated frame we had found. We wanted to substitute the old faded nature scene with a 24″ group shot from our daughter’s wedding. We made sure to provide a large digital file to maintain the quality. The film we got back from PosterPrintShop was spectacular and exceeded our expectations. And the price was more than reasonable. The delivery was fast and right on schedule. Congratulations on providing a great service. We’ll surely be back for more.
We tried several local vendors for this and nobody could print the size we needed. Not only did you guys beat their prices and turnaround times, but the product exceeded expectations and is so awesome for our studio! Thank you!!
