We welcome requests to color match sources such as Pantones, paint chips, trims, paper proofs, and other fabric swatches. Just send them to us! You can also purchase RGB catalogs showing over 3000 color blocks. The catalogs give the most accurate representation of color as they are printed on the ground(s) of your choice.

In most cases, no. Even if the fabric has been discontinued by the manufacturer, the design is most likely still protected by copyright.

The pigment inks used in our process are similar to the pigment chemistry used in traditional rotary screen printing. The dimensional stability and hand of the cloth, which is a function of the fiber content and weave, are affected by repeated washing. Some grounds perform better than others. Please inquire.

Our linen and linen blend grounds are the best suited for slipcovers and light upholstery. However, because of the nature of ink-jet printing, our fabrics are not recommended for heavy-use upholstery. The pigment ink does not penetrate as deeply as the wetter process of screen printing. With heavy abrasion, one can wear through the surface design to the fibers below.

None of our grounds are inherently flame-retardant. However, some may be coated after printing. We are happy to ship rolled goods to a finishing plant for coating application.
