Pre Treatment
The fabric is washed/bleached to remove loose particles and improve the
dye's adherence to the textile, and then sent for coating. The fabric is
coated in a solution specific to the ink technology being used. This is an
essential process to maximize the substrate’s absorption levels and
reactivity to the ink, while also minimizing lateral bleeding which may
impact color definition and intensity
Print
The fabric then goes to print, which can be done via conventional or digital
methods - the pattern features and other factors determine the printing
method used. Conventional printing includes screen-print or cylinder roller
machines and both work much like a stamping process. Digital printing works
similarly to a giant printer, with rolls of white fabric passing through the
machine and coming out with the design printed in a few minutes (about 22 to
40 meters of fabric can be printed in one hour with this technique).
Color Stabilization
This step activates and stabilizes the color on the fabric.
Wash
once again, the fabric is washed for the removal of residual particles
Dry
The fabric goes into a giant drying chamber until is completely dried out
Softening
After drying, the fabric is moved into another machine for a softening
treatment, which returns the fabric to its original dimensions.
The work method involves submitting PC formatted TIFF files in RGB format, or a source file (.PSD or. Ai) with all data for photographic imagery or custom-engineered panel pieces. The file resolution should be between 150-300 DPI, and the design should include all correct design criteria. One-pixel lines or omitted spaces should not be part of the design, as the ink dot size when printed will appear thicker or closed in space
