Output on an EFI Vutek FabriVu 340i dye-sub printer, the UFabrik Soft Blackback Textile was used to produce all the walls of EFI’s stand 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 is said to offer “the perfect balance” between stretch and softness.

The EFI Pro 33r UV-LED roll printer, meanwhile, is using UFabrik UV Blackback and UFabrik Backlit for all its live demonstrations. These products are also being used for demonstrations on the EFI Q3R roll-to-roll printer that is 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. It is developed with a high performing anti-scratch coating that allows direct print with UV and latex technology.

Fire rated, this material is suitable for expo walls, frame wraps, and high-quality backdrops.

UFabrik Backlit textile, meanwhile, is a woven polyester suitable for the production of frontlit and backlit graphics, and compatible with UV and latex inks.

It is crease and wrinkle-free on tension with no bruising or marking when folded, making it a premium material for all backlit applications in retail, events, and exhibition graphics. Fire rated, it is available in widths of 914mm, 1.6m, 3.2m, and 5.05m.

The UFabrik range is exclusively distributed by CMYUK in the UK and Ireland.

Fespa Global Print Expo runs until Friday (22 March) at the RAI in Amsterdam.
