Most print shops rely on traditional signage for their regular revenue. You could argue that many have an over-reliance. So what’s the best way to diversify and futureproof your print business? In this blog post, we explore how applying existing signage printing expertise to wall and floor coverings can help printers broaden their offering.
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 explore the main performance factors that can help every printer choose the most suitable option.
In the print industry, as with any other sector, responding to changing customer demand is key to staying ahead. So why are customers increasingly choosing soft signage?

Printing on flags isn’t like printing on other textiles. By their nature, flag fabrics are lightweight and highly mobile (they’re flags, after all). Even experienced printers can find printing on flag materials tricky because the fabric construction, ink behaviour and finishing requirements aren’t quite the same as they’ll encounter anywhere else. So in this post, we’ll look at common flag fabric printing mistakes – and flag (sorry) ways of avoiding them.
Textile printing shouldn’t feel like a gamble. But for many print rooms, it still does. Whether it’s head strikes. Edge curling. Strike-through. One issue leads to another, and suddenly you’re wasting media, losing time, and risking output quality and ruining your reputation while you’re at it.
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.
