As one of the first and largest producers of dye-sublimation fabric graphics in the Northwest region, DisplayStar is proud to be able to offer this latest, and fastest growing, technology to our customers.

However, if you are not familiar with dye-sub printing, we would like to take this opportunity to answer a question that might be on your mind.

What are the Benefits of Dye-Sublimation Printing?

Dye-Sub Defined

Using state-of-the-art, Mamaki dye-sub printers, our signature printing process applies heat and pressure to permanently infuse graphics and fabric. The result is a seamless merge of both vibrant color and detailed texture that can be as large as 100 inches wide by 200 feet long, or even larger with a seam.

High Resolution, Photographic Quality

In addition to the sharp contrast produced by high resolution 1080 dpi, dye-sublimation printing yields the most accurate skin tones. This high resolution is your best resource for reproducing the fine detail and complex tones of any photographic image.

Infinite Applications

Tradeshow display graphic panels, event graphics, retail graphics, silicon edge graphics, light boxes, flags & banners, table throws.

Dye-sub Fabric Graphics — Dye-sub fabric graphics work very well in DisplayStar’s Igniter light boxes. The intense color and clarity of the dye-sub graphics combined with the LED back lighting produces long-distance, high-visibility with stunning visual impact.

Easy to Change-Out

Along with near limitless sizes available, the wrinkle-free fabric stretches easily over display hardware making it easy to interchange and add additional graphics. Optional silicon edging seats into frames and makes for a drum-tight fit.

SEG Insert — Tension fabric frames have micro-precise grooves along its perimeter making it easy to attach fabric graphics finished with a silicon edge strip.

Easy to Ship & Store

Fabric graphics are super lightweight, making them ideal for transporting or shipping. Simply roll or fold. No more expensive shipping of flat, heavy crates. Even better, fabric graphics store in a fraction of the space so you’re more likely to keep it around and reuse them.
