The lenticular prints I get from my Nimslo via Nimstec are translucent,
and look quite good backlit.

The emulsion is on the lenticular film, it is exposed through the
front, developed and dried in the usual way, then coated with a thin
white coating on the back. I don't know how to remove the white coating
without damaging the image, but if anyone wants to remove the coating
plus the emulsion, Clorox bleach works well.
