Ultraflex introduces a latex printable mesh material called Strip Mesh Pro LTX. The ending acronym “LTX” designates a Latex formulated material that was custom–built to print ideally with Latex technology. Strip Mesh Pro LTX is a 9 oz. mesh with backer that can be easily removed after printing.  The specially designed backer creates an air-tight print surface that prevents ink spray through and allows vacuum equipped printers to hold material flat during printing.  Strip Mesh Pro LTX has 25 percent air-flow through and is ideal for outdoor banners, building wraps, fence mesh graphics, and boulevard banners in high wind areas.  Formulated for use with Latex, solvent, eco solvent, and UV printers, this mesh is available in widths from 54 to 126 inches.

Fisher Textiles has added GF 3030 Fencing to its line of grand-format fabrics for dye sublimation and UV printing. This fabric for temporary fencing applications is not like any style Fisher currently carries. GF 3030 Fencing is a thin, open fabric, created specifically for short-term construction barriers, eventing and sports marketing markets. It is 3.0 oz/yd2, 126 inches wide and 100% Polyester. Small holes in the fabric allow for some see through and there is adequate space for printed colors and images.

Newly patented fabric technology from Precision Fabrics Group (PFG) is helping printers realize the full potential of digital fabric printing. CrystalPrint Fabrics, available in nylon and polyester, use precision-made fabric material and a specially formulated textile coating to create the highly uniform print surface that modern digital printing requires. The high quality surface minimizes the color wicking and bleeding that can occur in inkjet printing on fabric. “The result is that printers are able to achieve the sharp definition, tight registration and color intensity that their advanced digital printing equipment was designed to deliver,” says PFG R&D Chemist Wade Burgess. “And printers get this performance job after job.”

Neschen has seen its Pure Color Media line grow with the addition of Fresco AdTex, a lightweight 5 oz/yd2 polyester textile with a removable and repositionable adhesive. Perfect for indoor wall graphic applications, Fresco AdTex features a special inkjet coating that provides excellent imaging with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable inks. Its opaque, matte surface allows placement of graphics while reducing glare and limiting bleed through. This feature translates into a key benefit since there's no need to color prep the area, which saves both time and money.
