Digital printing issue

[signsny]

Greetings,

I need a professional advise please. I have to place some full color graphics on a sign cabinet face, I have a option of either clear or white. I did testing on different vinyls such as clear, white, translucent and also tried it with diffuser. The colors are not crispy, the image lost 40 percent of its colors in front of light.
I don't know what to do and what to use. I did 8 passes, I did 12 passes but no luck.

Any idea?

Thanks

Do a search. There is a lot of great info. Some people make one clear print and one white trans print. Others double print the same media. Do some reading.

That's basically what it boils down to. The light needs to pass through about double the normal amount of ink.

Your RIP should have an option for double-printing the image.
Using translucent white vinyl over clear acrylic is my favorite way to make the face.

I use 3M cast trans white. Clean it with alcohol, and it will print perfect. Print first with a setting for High Performance Cast vinyl, with the return to origin box checked. After it prints and dries, print it again, same settings. Results depend on the images being printed, and you might need to lower the opacity of the second print.
