Explore the Future of Innovative Printable Textiles

With trade shows back in full swing, people are more excited than ever to gather and see the latest products and services offered up close and personal. The experience of seeing solutions in action may convince many consumers to make purchasing decisions during the shows, so attracting buyers is crucial, and the way to stand out in the large crowd of competitors is with a dynamic booth display.

To succeed at live events, displays must showcase the very best of what an organization or business has to offer, starting with the aesthetics of the space. These live events can generate substantial returns on investment, potentially leading to a significant number of high-quality leads. Thus, being fully prepared to captivate the crowd becomes indispensable.

Our booth at the recent Printing United Expo was our best one yet, dazzling visitors and immersing them in a world of innovation, color, and sensory delight as we showcased stunning displays created with cutting-edge materials from the UFabrik line of digitally printed textiles. With UFabrik, graphics are dynamic, colorful, and high impact, stealing the show every time.

The Future of Digital Printing

While printable textiles have been around for a while, recent innovations have turned this market into a highly competitive arena. UFabrik textiles have set a new industry standard, elevating the bar for excellence. LexJet, as the exclusive North America dealer, offers a specially curated selection that meets a comprehensive array of applications, covering 95% of applications used in exhibition, event, and retail markets.

Environmental Consideration

The commitment to exceptional quality at UFabrik also extends to their dedication to environmental stewardship. Several eco-friendly fabric materials ingeniously repurpose single-use plastic waste into vibrant, robust display graphics. Complementing this are polyester-based fabrics, offering the potential for recycling or energy conversion.

Now is the time to stock up on media essential to your customers in the event signage industry.

Digital Décor Printing Goes Beyond Wallcoverings

A lot has been said over the past few years about the opportunities in digital décor printing … and most of them have been focused on wallcoverings. And while we love a good digitally printed wallcovering as much as the next guy, we wanted to take a moment to focus on other opportunities in decor printing … beyond wallcoverings.

Take a look at some of these inventive, imaginative projects our customers have done using a variety of ink technologies and media types. And the next time someone asks you to print a wall project, consider pitching them on some custom print jobs off the wall.

TABLES: Opportunities are almost limitless for both surface and object printing. Take, for instance, the tabletop creations by Jamie Birch, who used LexJet Print-N-Stick Fabric and LexJet Crystal Low Tack for sports-themed customized tables. Want to keep them looking good? Our friends at Fredrix used Fredrix 575 Tempo Canvas top coated with Marabu coating and mounted to a puzzle board and routed into circles to create these branded coasters.

 

 

 

 

 

WINDOWS: Create customized decorative prints on either the window itself or shades to block the sun. Window shades can be created with a variety of products, such as LexJet Poly Select Medium, EnduraFab™ Frontlit Premier or HP Light Fabric. To add some privacy or a graphic element to the window itself, try LexJet Simple Grip Backlit, which can be seen from either side of the window and is enhanced by artificial or natural light.

 

 

 

 

 

LAMPS: A little punch of color can go a long way to enhance a room. Lamp shades have become a favorite among digital printers, using products like LexJet Sunset Textured Fine Art Paper 310g and finishing it with a UV coating for extra protection. Retailers like Lamps Plus give customers a variety of pattern and color combinations so they can create their own one-of-a-kind look.

 

 

 

 

 

PILLOWS: These are just two examples of how you can add some major customization to your throw pillows with a latex printer, courtesy of Fredrix, using Fredrix Natural Raw Canvas, and HP, featuring the versatile HP Light Fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

PRINTS: So, technically these prints go on the wall, but offer a decorative option if adding wall paper or a mural isn’t an option. We love all types of hanging wall art including acrylic-mounted prints, floating canvases, wrapped canvases, framed photos and ChromaLuxe panels. There’s something for everyone and every ink technology in our product mix!
