MAKING HISTORY WITH PRINT
Fabric Images® has been on the forefront of fabric printing since the early 2000’s.
We provide superior quality printed graphics for commercial interiors, retail spaces, museum environments and tradeshows and events. We never shy away from exploration and discovery. We print on countless materials, from textiles and acoustic felt to hard surfaces. In our years of research, we have discovered amazing potential in materials and how they interact with print technology. It is often the materials that are less traditional that provide exceptionally inspiring results.
Printing is in our DNA and cutting-edge technology has played a large role since our early days. At a time when 54 inches was the maximum print width for transfer dye-sublimation fabric, and seams were plentiful, we worked diligently with our partners and suppliers to develop the first 10ft wide dye sublimation print process in the world, and Superwide fabric printing was born. We continued looking for advancements and were the first in the industry to introduce Superwide 16ft fabric and textile printing.
We are renowned for superior, high quality printing and color consistency across fabrics and substrates. View our Graphic & Artwork Guidelines.
G7 Certification
As a subsidiary of Orbus Visual Communications®, Fabric Images is a G7 Master IDEAlliance certified printer.
G7 certification helps ensure the production of the highest quality, consistent and accurate color graphics. G7 specifies the components of an image that define a similar “visual appearance" to the human eye.
- Defines a color metric definition for gray balance
- Specifies gray balance in the midtones and image contrast from the highlights to the shadows
- Defines the ideal colorimetric black and CMY gray-tone curves for an image
- Specifies a step-by-step method for calibrating proofing systems and printers to these tone curves
Orbus has been producing consistent, high quality graphics with accurate color to the G7 specification for over 10 years.
