Re: [BKARTS] ink on plastic
There's something called backlight film (not sure if that's a brand name or
not) that you can use - this might be what Charlene is talking about. It has
a coated and uncoated side, and is clear like regular mylar, although if you
compared the two side-by-side you might be able to make out that one is
coated. You should be able to get that at normal office supply places.

Subject: Re: [BKARTS] ink on plastic
There is mylar made (i buy it at office depot in boxes) for inkjet printers.
I can scratch the image off after a few very hard attempts. The ink makes
this thin hard 'crust' on the mylar. I usually put another mylar overlay
over the image. The mylar for HP printers can be scratched off pretty easy
I have found, but the image is denser.
The mylar you can buy in rolls for covering books etc. is Not this mylar. I
do not know how the injet mylar is treated, but it is.
