raditional garment decorators considering moving into textile printing may find it a natural progression over to soft signage production and with a buoyant market thereʼs plenty of work to be found. Soft signage is tactile and is popular because of the great visual effects it offers as a signage option. Itʼs also lightweight, keeping transport costs low and keeping carbon footprints to a minimum. Textile substrates in general travel well; they donʼt damage easily in production, in transit or in use, and are very easy to install and change as required.
For soft signage such as flags, then itʼs dye sublimation all the way and Mimakiʼs entry-level TS30-1300 is a highly
productive but incredibly simple entry-level dye sublimation printer with a print width of up to 1,361mm. Direct dye sublimation hardware, such as Mimakiʼs Tx300P-1800 provides high quality output on a wide variety of fabrics and with a selection of ink sets. Printing with dye sublimation inks onto polyester substrates at print speeds up to

68sq m/hr makes this printer an ideal option for soft signage producers and is highly cost effective.
The beauty of dye sublimation printed polyester is that the inks penetrate through giving even density each side and the finish is soft making it ideal for moving items, such as feather or teardrop flags.

If traditional garment markers are looking for the flexibility to print onto coated polyester, but potentially expand their horizons into wider sign and graphics applications, then an all-encompassing solution like the Mimaki UJV55-320 is a smart option. This versatile 3.2m LED UV printer provides the perfect conditions for printing backlit applications, due to the vibrancy of Mimakiʼs UV inks coupled with the in-line
lightbox for proofing of backlit applications on the fly. The developments that material manufacturers have achieved and the advancements in polyester technology give great effects for sign and display when printed with LED UV curing inks.
