UFabrik: Continuing its endorsement of UFabrik textiles for the display, exhibitions, and events sectors, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (EFI), a global leader in customer digital printing innovation, has once again specified UFabrik Soft Blackback Textile as an essential part of its stand design for FESPA24.
Output on an EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340i dye sublimation printer, UFabrik Soft Blackback Textile was used to produce all walls of the EFI’s stand (1 D70) at the RAI in Amsterdam. Developed to be the ultimate blackback for direct and transfer dye-sublimation applications, this 100% knitted material has a bright white print surface with anti-scratch black backing and offers the perfect balance between stretch and softness.
The EFI Pro 33r UV LED roll printer, unveiled for the first time at FESPA, will be using UFabrik UV Blackback and UFabrik Backlit for all its live demonstrations, highlighting these textiles as the premier choice to emphasize the new cutting-edge capabilities. Furthermore, these products will also be used for demonstrations on the EFI Q3R dedicated roll-to-roll printer, also featured on the stand.
“We value our partnership with UFabrik, as the quality of the textiles paired with our technology delivers optimum results, enhancing fabric appearance and vibrancy,” said Tom Lynch, EFI Sr. Applications and Event Logistics Specialist.
UFabrik UV Blackback is a high-quality 100% knitted polyester-based textile that has a bright white print surface, and a blackout-coated reverse. Developed with a high-performing anti-scratch coating that allows direct print with UV and Latex technology. Fire-rated, this material is the perfect solution for expo walls, frame wraps, and high-quality backdrops for retail exhibitions, and events.
UFabrik Backlit textile is a woven polyester suitable for the production of frontlit and backlit graphics, and compatible with UV and Latex inks.
