Hi,
I will be producing a collaborative work with a poet, which will require printing on a transparent media. I see that there are rolls of backlight material available, but those are of course opaque. I will be printing on a (yet to be acquired Epson 7890 or 7900). Any suggestion as to the transparent material, or even if it is available for printing this way.
Thank you,
Jean-Michel

Pictorico OHP is a very common transparent inkjet medium. It's used a lot for digital negative work.
It really depends on what exactly you are trying to do, as it may not be the best choice. If you provide some more details on how the end product will be used (how are you mounting it, e.g.) there may be other options.

Sihl has several clear inkjet receptive media for a variety of applications. The 3148, Absolute Clear film is a 4 mil film engineered for high ink load. Another option is 3162, Vision Clear film, a 4 mil film for lower ink load. They also offer a clear 2 mil product, ClearSTICK Gloss, which has an optically clear, repositionalbe adhesive for use in indoor applications. Give us a call and we can provide additional information.
