‘Twas the Week Before Christmas…

‘Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the shop,
Our printers were humming, with no time to stop;
Promotional graphics for retail displays,
Were already printing for Valentine’s Day;

The hearts and the love notes were printing in red,
With colorful images across the spreads;
Some of the designs decided to use pink,
And some were simply lovely using white ink;

Now, Clear Cling, now, Vinyl, now, WINCOS and Paper!
On Fabric, on Canvas, on Showcard and Banner!
These prints must ...

White Ink and Its Creative Uses

Posted by:

White Ink and Its Creative Uses

Digital printers have traditionally used some version of a CMYK ink set to reproduce colors (some use additional CMYK Light colors for greater subtlety of tone, or chromatic green, orange or red for increased vibrancy).

These color sets are perfect for printing on white media, but what if your media was clear, black or colored? It would be impossible to correctly render the colors, and what if a design required white ink on these substrates?

Retail Spaces and the Switch to SEG

Many major retail chains have made the transition from backlit films and paper based substrates to SEG signage. SEG stands for silicone edge graphics. These are dye-sublimated fabric graphics with a silicone strip stitched around the edges. They are used in combination with frames that have a recessed channel to receive the silicone edge and pull the fabric taught.

SEG is not new to the print world. For several years now, the Out-of-Home industry has been implementing these graphics ...
