Re: printing onto mountboard
you'll need a large, wide format printer with a straight through paper pass.... although even then I'm not sure it will accept 1.4mm mountboard. then an app you can print from, IE Photoshop so you can lay it out to print in the right place.
Epson LFP's used to have a straight pass, but not sure if they do now... forget Canons, they feed from underneath.
either way you are looking at big money.
Could ask a local sign writer if they have a flatbed printer and see if they'll print on your own stock.

You can print onto coloured paper and then drymount onto mountboard and then cut the window.
If it's bigger than A4 then you need a big printer.
