Backlit film - outsource or print aqueous?

[Celo222]

I've got a customer wanting to make some faux stained glass for a Easter thing at their church. Would I get good results on an aqueous machine such as my HP Z6600? What material should I look into? Or should I just outsource it to B2 or somebody else? Thanks in advance!

Outsource. You’ll need to print transparent on clear

FWIW I did print some clear back when I had my Z3100 and it looked decent enough. Not super saturated, but not terrible. You can also alway double it up to get better saturation.
I also happen to have a couple of 36" rolls of the clear media leftover that I'd be willing to make you a heck of a deal on if you want to try it, since it's basically useless to me now. If you're interested PM me and we can work something out.

I print transparent on a canon aqueous, to back up display light boxes. Not super dense on my machine.
Oce do a very expensive option, that they say takes a very high ink load (I've not tried it at 3x the price of regular options that work for my needs).

Outsource guarantees you the product. If you do it yourself is the time and profit (or not)worth the learning curve?

Have a sign supplier that has a Vutek that can print a "double strike print" on acrylic or polycarb. Works well.
