Even with the best print shop setup, it’s frustratingly easy to end up with poor final output when printing onto textiles. So how can you make sure the final product looks as good as the version on your screen?
In this post, we’ll explore issues like colour management, resolution, bleed, stretch-fabric issues, and media shrink when calendaring – so your media delivers the impact your clients expect.
Don’t let wrinkles ruin all the promotional power of the fabric print you’ve just created. Here’s how to cut the crinkles from your textile media installations.
If you want to deliver real impact in your retail display marketing, textile media is the way to go. But which textile media?
The ideal choice will change depending on whether you’re dealing with a window display, a lightbox, point of sale or hanging banners (the application) and where that application will sit (the environment).

So in this post, we’ll look at common flag fabric printing mistakes – and flag (sorry) ways of avoiding them.

In this post, we’ll look at the challenges of printing on textiles, and explain how to choose print textiles that help you cut the risk.
