A Colorful World of Possibilities: The Many Fibers of Fabric Print Media

The fabric print media industry is a dynamic sector that encompasses creating and producing printed fabrics for a wide range of applications. In design, fabric print media is crucial in transforming creative visions into tangible realities. Whether you’re a printer, graphic artist, fabricator, designer, or end user, the fabric you select will significantly impact the outcome of your project.
 
Enter Dazian, a fabric print media trailblazer, offering an extensive range of wide-width FR fabrics designed to create eye-catching exhibitions, vivid retail brand messaging and interiors, extraordinary stage scenery and event décor, and so much more!

At Dazian, we understand that every printer has its preferred print method based on the graphic application and intended use. That is why we designed many fabrics to support these methods and inks.
 
• Dye Sublimation Transfer: A heat-transferred image from paper to fabric.
 
• Dye Sublimation Direct: An image applied directly to the fabric with heat and pressure.
 
• Eco Solvent Printing: Created with eco—friendly pigments or dyes, resulting in lower VOC emissions, fumes, and odors during the printing process
• UV Printing: UV light is used to cure the ink printed directly onto the fabric.
 
• Latex Printing: The latex-supported water-based color pigments are applied directly to the fabric. Heat is used to increase the drying time.
 
• Solvent Printing: These inks do not contain water; they use petroleum, which is ideal for outdoor graphics.

The fabric print media industry has been making significant strides in sustainability, driven by increasing consumer awareness and regulatory pressures. Dazian is committed to leading the charge in a world increasingly focused on sustainability. Our new Revert™ and Evoke™ fabric lines are made from recycled and biodegradable fibers, setting new standards for eco-friendly fabric print media.
 
Both Revert™ and Evoke™ fabrics are GRS certified, the international standard that verifies and tracks recycled materials’ use in a product’s supply chain. It also sets requirements for third-party certification of a product’s recycled content, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. The GRS applies to products made with at least 20 recycled materials and covers the entire supply chain, from processing to distribution.
 
Though these fabrics are made from an eco-friendly fiber, their quality and performance are not jeopardized! Click here to discover more about our entire collection of Sustainable Fabric Print Media.

Trade Shows
Making a lasting impression is essential to a successful trade show. You have only a few seconds to grab the attention of an attendee. Trade Show booth designs are intended to deliver the brand message through mindful and eye-catching designs.
 
To accomplish this, many designers utilize various fabrics to build their booths, from backlit fabrics for vibrant imagery to structure-masking blackout fabrics used for the interior and exterior to stretch and soft knit fabrics for freestanding and suspended signage.
 
Retail
In the world of retail, presentation is everything. Design is one of the most critical elements as more brands create unique ways to bring consumers into their stores. Retail stores utilize fabric print media, from window displays and product merchandising to POP displays and interior design and signage, to help drive the brand message. No other print media offers these brands the range and versatility of styles that fabrics do.
 
Stage & Events
Creating spaces on stage or in an event venue requires meticulous visual storytelling. To get the story right, nailing the scenery and décor is essential. To produce these environments, many designers utilize fabric print media to add texture, color and imagery. Fabric graphics provide technical and aesthetic values from soft, translucent NuVoile Plus and Milano® Velvet Plus curtains to opaque backdrops and scenery with our Celtic Cloth Grey Back and Celtic Cloth Black Back.
 
Architectural Interiors
Architectural designers are increasingly incorporating fabric into their structural elements. Fabrics bring a soft, natural, and calming effect to any interior. The ability to print onto fabrics provides these designers with a world of possibilities that other print substrates can’t. Fire Ratings, selection, and versatility are vital reasons these designers prefer fabric over any other material to create with.
