New backlit fabric impresses with contrast and saturation
The new Speedy Hybrid printing stock from Krefeld-based manufacturer KREA Technische Textilien impresses with the special luminosity of its colors. The material was developed for use in light boxes and can be printed digitally with latex or sublimation inks. The print service provider Photofabrics from Ludwigsburg is already using the material and is enthusiastic: "We achieve incredibly beautiful print results with Speedy Hybrid in digital printing with 1,440 dpi. The special feature is the enormous increase in contrast and color saturation due to a double ink application. The intensity of the colors with good illumination in light boxes is impressive," says Peter Sapper, managing director of Photofabrics. Producer KREA supplies the substrate in widths of 160, 260 and 320 cm, with roll lengths of approximately 100 m. The material with a grammage of 190 grams per square meter can be cut cold.
