• Printing onto cloth

    Posted by Matt Greer on February 27, 2014 at 9:31 pm

    Hi I’m looking to see if anyone can print onto cloth and if so how wide and long can you print.

    Basically I’ve been asked to produce some backgrounds of images for a photographer to use as backdrop so cant have any glare off this lighting…. I’ve tried PVC banner but he gets a few glare spots on it and we were wondering if there’s anything we can do to reduce. So I’m wondering weather its possible to print onto cloth.

    Roller blind fabric…works a treat.

    Get a sample or offcut from a local manufacturer to check suitability as some are better than others.

    Allprint supply a few fabrics for solvent printing, ‘Emperor’ is pretty darn good, non reflective polyester with a grey light-stop backing.

    Never thought of trying roller blind material! nice one.
