Fisher Textiles expands grand-format line with new Stretch & Backlit Fabric Media

Fisher Textiles, a leading major of fabrics for digital printing, has announced the launch of new two new fabrics adding to its grand-format line of fabrics for ‘dye sublimation’ printing. For stretch applications and tension displays, the newly launched GF 5020 Gumbee is 90 percent Polyester, 10 percent Spandex. The media has outstanding stretch and recovery that does not loosen over time. It has an excellent white point and weighs 7.6 oz/sq yd. For backlit SEG, GF 6051 Super Sonic is an improved version of GF 6050 Super Sonic, the company’s soft, textured knit backlit framing system fabric that produces excellent vibrancy of print, amplified when backlit.

Available up to 126-inches wide, GF 5020 Gumbee’s applications include exhibit graphics, geometric signage, hanging banners, pillowcase displays and silicone edge graphics. It is flame retardant and wrinkle and craze resistant. Crazing is the spider-web appearance that can be ingrained within graphics that have been printed, folded and unfolded. Since it does not craze, finished SEGs made with Super Sonic can ship folded instead of on a roll, to save on shipping and storage costs.
