    Posted by Russ Draper on 2 November 2006 at 13:34

    I have had a customer contact me to see if i can print a photo of their child onto a roller blind to hang in their nursery?

    How and where can i get this done, and whats the cost likely to be?

    Thanks

    Try Maxiblinds.

    http://www.printedblinds.co.uk

    the operate ONLY through blind retailers though – but you just pick the one nearest you.

    Or get somebody with a digi-printer…and stiff/non-curling fabric to do the image & a local blind company to make it up.

    I seem to recall that John Simpson has had a go at this type of work.

    A word with him might pay dividends.

    The link I gave is fine if you just want a completed product from a ‘local’ blinds retailer as some blinds manufacturers won’t touch fabrics that are brought in…or certainly accept no responsibility for the end result.

    Just try googling ‘printed roller blinds’ – see what it spits out.

    You can use heavy digital banner material, ie metamark 560 gsm this works perfectly. We did five of them for the Lowry in Manchester. Bought the poles and mechanisms from a manufacturer and assembled them ourselves. Don’t go for a lighter material you get edge curl!
