Alongside the established, successful wallpaper collection, the spotlight will be on the new Glass Textile design2wall HealthClean 295 matt 2525 wallpaper, which meets the highest of standards. It is robust, tear resistance and allows disinfectant cleaning: this product can even be cleaned using ethanol without taking the colours off or damaging the printed image.
The best possible ink anchorage is made possible with dye sublimation inks: combined with the suitable receptive coating almost indestructible prints can be achieved.
Photo & Art
In the sector Photo & Art, Sihl expands their canvas range with two new canvases, one for solvent and latex inks and one for waterbased inks; both products are ideal for the price-sensitive sector of the market.
Advertising & POS
Sihl will also show at FESPA 2017, the Fabric Banner Prime 400 FR Matt AQ (3503), a black polyester textile with a white coating on the printable side, suitable for use in for free-hanging applications and clamping display systems.
Due to the perfect flatness and the black base material, the fabric banner, Prime is also ideal for placement in high quality roll-up systems.
In combination with water-based and latex inks, the special coating allows a wide colour gamut and a homogenous printed image. In addition, a tear resistance feature has been developed for long-term indoor and short-term outdoor applications, allowing the material to be sewn or punched for eye-lets.
In addition, the firm will display Wallgrafx Prime 240 FR Satin, a dimensionally stable, self-adhesive polyester fabric with a receptive coating for solvent and latex inks.
The product is suitable for use in the production of decorative wallcoverings, exhibition stands and furniture, as well as for advertising applications.

“The perfect print quality, with excellent colour brilliance and its slight sheen to the surface lend this product a distinctive character.”

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.
