Default Dial glass reproduction

I think that the technology in the link below is worth keeping an eye on for Dial glass reproduction. It prints directly on the back of the acrylic sheet in a similar way to the back painted glass dials. However this particular company was unable to help as they have a semi automated process line that mounts the acrylic glass on a backing plate so that it is not see through. They were very quick to reply to Emails but in the end I could not get just a printed acrylic sheet or any guarantee of exact scaling.

However it looks promising and worth exploring with another company possessing similar printer technology or has anyone got a printer that prints in this way?

It seems to be worth a punt at less then six quid, if you add a rule on the image I am sure the person doing the job will know what to do, unlike the sales staff.

The thing with this would be is it printing in white or leaving gaps and the applied backing is white ? If its printing in white obviously its ideal for tuning scales.
