Today I got job for silk screen printing on plexiglass. I need help to know what type of ink prints best on plexiglass. Also need some tips for beautiful printing.

Call your screen printer's supply house. Somebody like Lawson's.

Can't remember which ink, but print it backwards on the reverse side if it is clear plexiglass. Example: red letters with a blue outline. Print the red letters like they would appear in a mirror, print blue over it the same way. Then, hold up the sign and face the side you didn't print on out for viewing. Does that make sense? I don't know if I explained it very well.

Because of the smell and mess I always send out my screen printing, but the ink we use for acrylic is Inktech solvent based general purpose.
