Put your high-quality print in focus with block out materials.

Ideal for long-term advertising signage, stage applications and custom displays, block out textiles allow you to control background light and draw focus to your printing, placing custom artwork and projects in the limelight. Let’s dive into Duplex Printing and Black Backed Textiles.

DUPLUX PRINTING

Duplux printing requires textiles that allows printing on both sides of the textile. Textiles used for this style of printing, have a central layer that prevents light from passing through. This central layer acts as a block out sheet, while retaining a consistent printable texture on either side. This structure ensures that the final art avoids the unsightly experience of seeing the double-sided print through the other side; They can be two different prints or both the same, the choice is yours!

BLACK BACKED

A black backing allows a printed textile to be completely opaque, ensuring no show through to the front lit printed side, even when exposed to extreme lighting. All artwork or images printed onto block out textiles with a black backing are strong and vibrant, with maximum colour density.
