Sabur Digital signs distribution deal with Sihl
Sublimation equipment supplier Sabur Digital has signed an agreement with substrate manufacturer Sihl for the distribution of its Design2Wall range of wallpapers.
Signed in April, the open-ended agreement will see Sabur Digital, a division of Sabur Ink Systems, stocking Sihl’s digital printable wallpaper range Design2Wall in its Barnsley warehouse and offering next-day delivery across the UK and Ireland.
The company is said to offer the largest range of sublimation papers in the UK, alongside a wide range of sublimation inks suited to every printing job imaginable.
The partnership with Sihl comes at a time of growth. Launched in 1998 as Sabur Ink Systems, the business until a few years ago has focused on consumables but to reflect a growing involvement in machinery sales, with clients such as Roland Mimaki, DGI and Kornit on its books, the firm created its Sabur Digital division two years ago, into which its new wallpaper offering will go.
This new partnership helps solidify the company’s reputation for excellence, as Sihl were at the heart of the digital printing revolution, committed to driving printing progress forward. Their Design2Wall range features printable digital wallpapers providing exemplary resilience to damage of all kinds and superior performance under even the most trying of conditions.
With vivid colouration, the range is ideal for high-performance areas where a simple coat of paint or conventional wallpaper simply will not do.
“We are very excited to be working in partnership with Sihl on their Design2Wall range of printable wallpapers. This is a rapidly growing market sector and Sihl as a company have an excellent reputation for quality products,” says digital development director Aaron Burton.
“The Health Clean 295 wallpaper has special antimicrobial properties making this paper an excellent product for areas such as nursing homes and children’s hospitals.”
"With a range of wallpapers to choose from, the Design2Wall collection by Sihl represents a new frontier in digital printing, and naturally, Sabur Ink Systems will be there to help drive this change forward into the bright future of the printing industry." Burton concludes.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
