Print Technology
Textiles Alive use only high definition digital print processes to create your banners, flags and other display equipment. These modern techniques result in stunning print quality and are suitable for both small and large quantity production. Better still, Textiles Alive have given careful thought to the environment in choosing print methods and materials, so you can rest assured your purchase choices are sustainable choices.
The Digital Advantage
Digital textile printing allows you the ultimate in finish. You can print gradients, tonal variations and textures like never before and use imagery that blends into your design. Print with photographic quality we couldn’t have imagined in the days of screen-printing.
Direct Digital Textile Printing
For flags and banners that will be out in all elements, Textiles Alive use a state of the art LexJet TexPress direct digital printer. It offers the ultimate mix of print quality and durability as the dyes are applied with precision, embedded in the fabric and oven baked for permanency.
Textiles Alive use only high quality water based vegetable pigmentation ink, making this naturally low waste printing option even easier on the environment. We also choose quality New Zealand-made fabrics that survive New Zealand conditions and haven’t burned up excessive carbon credits on their journey.
Digital Dye-Sublimation Printing
Many Textiles Alive display products are printed using the digital dye-sublimation process for a high definition result. The fabric is impregnated with dye during sublimation. Heat and pressure are used to transfer images from a paper negative to the textile banner. Textiles Alive use only water based dyes and recyclable paper in the transfer process and have perfected the art of dye- sublimation printing.
