A new range of digitally printable textiles is available from Amari Digital Supplies (ADS). They are made in Germany by JM
Technical Textiles and carry the Mediatex trademark brand. All of the textiles are PVC-free and
have individual as well as common design characteristics to enhance their performance capabilities; as well as broaden the range of signage and graphics applications that can be accommodated. Key attributes of the products include: certified flame resistance; low ink consump- tion for enhanced cost efficiency; water, stain and tear resistance; and no creasing or curl- ing in use. The textiles can also be processed using all of the main ink tech- nologies (solvent, eco-solvent, UV-curable and Latex) and most of the popular printers, such as Roland, Mimaki, AGFA, Mutoh,
VUTek, Durst and Seiko. Selected products also incorporate a multi-layer polymer coat- ing that gives a high degree of whiteness to ensure 'optimum print quality'. Key products in the range include the
200gsm Presto FR for backdrops, trade show graphics and tensioning and framing systems. The 180gsm Light Fabric FR for light banners and trade show graphics. And the 140gsm Illuminance FR that incorporates a special micro-porous polymer coating and can be used for indoor backlit displays, light boxes and tensioning and framing systems. Completing the Mediatex range are the
290gsm Grey Back Textile and the 370gsm Botticelli Textile that has been developed pri- marily for canvas prints, but can also be used in tensioning and framing systems.
