Printing on Translucent

Hello, we recently installed a backlit acrylic panel into a cabinet sign. My customer is not happy with the way it looks at night. The background which is suppose to be black, appears grey. The orange logo looks almost yellow. What can we do to fix this? Last resort I will just order the vinyl from Indy Imaging, but I would prefer to keep it inhouse if possible. We print with a HP 365 Latex, the material we printed on is the Briteline Translucent Printable Vinyl Film.

Get some clear vinyl. Print the exact same file in reverse on the clear. Install it on the backside of the acrylic panel in register with the image on the front.

In the future you will find it easier to put the clear layer on the front first, then the translucent on top of it. If you print it to an exact size, say 1/4" or 3/8" inset around the acrylic panel and trim them exactly to size, it's easy to register them.
