Translight Fabric
Translight Fabric features a double-sided print with the same motif on both the front and the back. We replicate the motif on each side to maintain vibrant colors and prevent glare. This technique gives the backdrop a rich depth when backlit, allowing for various moods to be crafted simply by adjusting the lighting.
