Fabric Dye Sublimation Process
We use a Dye Sublimation printing process to print all of our fabric products. Dye Sublimation printing is a top-of-the-line printing process which produces vibrant, permanent printed graphics on soft polyester fabric. The dye-sublimation printer heats up to about 400 degrees to bond the dye to the fabric fibers permanently dying the fabric. The fabric print is long lasting and washable and won't peel off like other screen-printed fabric products.
Advantages of Dye Sublimation
- Graphics are permanent and waterproof
- Fabric is washable in cold water with air dry
- Colors are vibrant and long lasting
- True continuous tones equivalent to photographs
Fabric Material
We use a soft snit 5.0 osy polyester material that is crease resistant and has a slight stretch to it, which reduces the wrinkles with fully stretched over the display frame. The fabric has a matte appearance and will not glare or reflect light. The fabric is washable on cold and air dry.

Common Questions?
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation printing is a digital printing technique that uses high heat to transfer ink to the fabric. The sublimation process permanently dyes the fabric to create a washable, long-lasting, vibrant print. The ink will not peel off or fade over time. With proper care and handling, sublimation fabrics will last for years.
Can I order a custom size fabric banner?
Yes, choose one size larger than your desired size and specify the size to cut the banner in the comments. You can also reach out to knowledgeable personnel in our office who can help you create a custom fabric banner.
Can I use my fabric banner outside?
Yes, fabric banners can be used outdoors, but although fabric banners are waterproof, we highly recommend using them indoors for their longevity. After prolonged outdoor use, the harsh weather elements can ruin your fabric banner.
Can my fabric banner be double sided?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to print on both sides of the fabric. We recommend purchasing two fabric banners and using grommet holes and some wire or cable ties to tie the two banners back to back to create a double sided banner look.
How many colors or details can I use in my artwork, will it cost extra?
You can use as many colors and details as you like in your artwork at no extra charge. We use dye sublimation technology to print the fabric in full color. Regardless of the number of colors or details of the artwork, it does not affect the cost of the sign.
What color profile should I use in my artwork?
We accept CMYK, RGB, mixed colors and Pantone colors. Using a four-color process, each color profile is converted to match the original color as closely as possible.
When will I get a proof?
Typically, you'll receive a proof via email from our graphics department within 1-2 hours of placing the order, if the order is placed during regular business hours of 8:30am - 5pm EST, Monday - Friday, with the exception of holidays. If you place your order during off hours/days, you'll receive a proof 1-2 hours from the time we re-open.
I don't have a print ready file or software to set up artwork, how can I get artwork set up?
Unfortunately, we don't offer artwork set up in house. Good websites to find graphic designers are fiverr.com or 99designs.com. If you are not able to find a designer please contact us and we can refer you to freelance designers we work with often.
I realized I sent the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?
Do not worry, this is why we have a proofs system. If there is something wrong with your artwork or you find that you have submitted the wrong file, please reply to the artwork email and let us know if you would like to submit a new file or online design changes. Our graphics team will always send you an up-to-date proof, so we don't print it without your approval.
I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?
We work fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances, we have to stop it.
Care and use for the Fabric Banners
We use a dye sublimation process to print on lightweight 100% woven polyester crease resistance fabric. The dye sublimation process permanently dyes the fabric creating a vivid colorful graphic that does not peel or fade. Your custom printed fabric is washable and folds up for easy storage.
Washing your fabric backdrop
- You can place your fabric into a washing machine, as long as it fits, to get out any dirt.
- The drying process in a dry creates a very high heat, which is not recommended for your fabric. Please hang dry or use a low-heat, tumble-type setting.
Uses of Fabric Banners
Fabric banners are great for wall hangings, backdrops and ceiling hangings. The soft look of the fabric makes these a much better alternative to vinyl banners. Folds up for easy storage and transport.
