Your style don't lend itself to things like fog or radiosity very well, 
and I don't think that an area light would improve the result.

That said, some transparency could, in some cases, go well with that 
style, but beware of overusing it.

Thanks for the tip, but sadly that also requires a much bigger wallet compared


Btw, rendering them with an image map and at high resolution with png as output
is working out perfectly.

I would also emphasis about which matter you want to print on, 
especially if for an art exhibition.

I would more likely go for some photographic paper or even tissues 
instead of bare white 80g paper (look at what photography sites offers 
not only at paper print companies). I will for sure be more expensive, 
but the object will be far more present.
