Title: print transparency on plexiglass
Post by: spherop on January 07, 2008, 02:00:49 am: i am trying to figure out the best way to transfer my photographic imagery onto plexiglass - as a transparency.

would lamination be the trick?

any recommendations on what kind of transparency i should be printing onto (from my epson 3800)?

i want to end up with a very tight finished result.

any ideas of what my overall process should be?

That might work, as long as the print is on transparent media.
