The printing industry has spent decades chasing faster presses, sharper resolutions, and better inks to eliminate unsightly inconsistencies. Yet many double-sided signs still leave the press haunted by ghostly shadows that cannot be printer corrected.
👻Image ghosting…
The graphic on one side quietly peeking through the other side, blurring graphics, reducing contrast, diminishing readability, and distracting from an otherwise captivating display.
The issue is the substrate selection. Premium graphics require more than a commodity-grade sheet. Especially double-sided displays and signage.
