FabriSign is about EASE OF USE:

  • Use any waterbased ink on any fabric
    (no more changing ink sets every time you change fabrics)
  • No post processing—just print and you're done!

And this ease of use is accomplished with minimal compromise:

  • Colors are excellent
  • Water resistance is excellent
  • Prints may be used indoors or out

In many cases using a ProCoat fabric is overkill. Signs & banners are often used only for a short time, pillows and other home decorations often will never be washed. In those situations and many more FabriSign is the perfect solution.

There's not much to say about the process! It couldn't be easier:

  1. Use any waterbased ink to print directly onto any treated fabric.

That's it—your printed fabric is ready to use.

ProCoat fabrics produce the highest quality, Commercial/Industrial Grade Prints, just like the fabrics you find in the stores:

  • 100% waterproof
  • 100% machine washable & dry cleanable
  • Rich, bright & permanent color

Just because you're printing fabric digitally doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality result. The only difference between a ProCoat print and fabric printed traditionally is in the process not the end result.

Anywhere washability is required or where you need the absolute best, no compromises color, ProCoat is the perfect choice.

The process is simple and repeatable.

  1. Select the correct ink for the fabric (see chart below)
  2. Print directly onto ProCoat treated fabric
  3. Steam set

That's it—your printed fabric is commercial grade, fully waterproof, washable & dry cleanable.

Overview

Properties

Uses

FabriSign & ProCoat are fabric coatings that prepare fabric for direct digital inkjet printing with waterbased inks. While both are excellent products they serve distinct purposes.

For most applications FabriSign is the right choice. FabriSign saves you time, money & hassle while producing gorgeous prints that will wow your customers. FabriSign allows you to use any waterbased ink with any fabric and requires no post processing—just print and you're done. FabriSign brings your projects in on time and under budget while dazzling your customers.

As good as FabriSign is there are times when you need that extra bit more. If you need 100% waterproof, machine washable & drycleanable prints or if you need absolute "blow your mind" colors, then ProCoat is for you. However, to develop color, the print must be steamed. Please see Steamers on this site. ProCoat produces commercial quality/industrial grade prints, just like the fabrics you find in the stores. And ProCoat produces the absolute best colors possible — the blacks are deeper, the colors richer & brighter. When you need that extra touch, ProCoat delivers.
