Frequently Asked Questions
What Fabric do you print on?
We use our in-house Super Backlit 190grs fabric.
What is SEG?
In short SEG stands for Silicone Edge Graphics, a type of fabric print with silicone beading sewn around the edge. The silicone edge fits into a groove around the profile of the banner frame. This helps the banner maintain tension across the frame. With the result of a high-end frameless appearance that everyone loves.
What is Super Backlit 190grs
Super Backlit is specially produced for high quality light boxes. It can be printed with Dye Sublimation, direct to fabric or by transfer. Super Backlit is a very tightly woven fabric that does not have pinholes and therefore is PE coating free. The absence of PE coating makes it possible to fold this fabric for shipping. Super Backlit has a very wide color gamut and extremely high light output, and on top of this has great elasticity.
