Custom Fabric Printing

New October 2009!

We're now offering short run digital fabric printing on beautiful 100% natural fabrics.

We've chosen three popular options that should suit most short run fabric purposes:

  • Lowlands Linen - a gorgeous 100% Belgian linen, this has a lovely thick weave.  Suitable for all applications where you want a textured material look.  Also a great alternative to canvas for art prints and art reproduction purposes.

  • China Silk - 100% pure habatoi silk, soft, translucent and flowy as only silk can be!

  • Cotton - 100% Cotton with a lovely soft feel, like sheet material (sateen weaved cotton, technically).

  • Other fabrics are available (we have a swatch book here) - but please note you will need to buy a 44" roll of the fabric, so the initial set up costs for a fabric that is not one of our standard fabrics will be several hundred dollars.

All the fabrics offer good water resistance and are hand washable in cold water - they're not designed for use in day to day washing scenarios, but they are quite robust. 

Printed samples are available at our office for viewing.

Possible uses include:

  • Art Prints
  • Soft Furnishings
  • Custom Dress Making (e.g. wedding gowns) 
  • Scarves
  • Suitable for short runs for designers and independent labels
  • Bags & Satchels
  • Cushion Covers
  • Seat & Other Furniture Covers
  • Light Shades
  • Custom Book Binds
  • Fabric Wall Panels
  • ....Anything you can think of!

 

How To Order Fabric Prints


We can print any properly prepared digital image files - including illustrations, photos and patterns. 

All our fabrics are printed on 112cm wide rolls (technically 44 inches or 111.7cm), and are available and priced in 0.5m increments.

When you receive your fabrics, they will have a paper backing on them for easier handling & cutting.  You just peel this off when you're ready, and once removed you should heat set the inks using a standard iron for best resistance to washing.

Please follow our notes on:

Please Note....


... like all natural materials, there may be some variance and minor flaws in the final result - much like it says on your jeans, these flaws are actually part of the beauty of natural materials and should be embraced rather than feared!
