Fisher Textiles, one of the leading suppliers of fabrics for digital printing, has added styles 1010 Element and GF 7110 X-Out to its line of fabrics for Dye Sublimation and UV printing.
1010 Element is Fisher’s newest awning fabric, excellent at withstanding the elements of outdoors. It is 8.5 oz/yd2, 60″ and 100% Polyester. In addition to awnings, it can also be used for street pole banners and patio furniture. It is very sturdy, whiter and more cost effective than Fisher Textile’s other awning fabrics. It has been tested in accordance with several AATCC test methods for water repellency and produced fantastic results. The first, Impact Penetration, (AATCC 42-2007) showed 0.0 grams of weight gain. The second, Water Repellency, (AATCC 70-2010) showed 29.19% water absorbed. The third, Water Repellency (Spray), (AATCC 22-2010) showed 100 – No sticking or wetting.
GF 7110 X-Out is 6.7 oz/yd2, 110″ wide and is comparable to Fisher’s style GF 4100 Sheeting although unlike GF 4100, GF 7110 can be sublimated. The base fabric is polyester with viscose/rayon flocking. It is FR, passes NFPA 701 and is formaldehyde free. Applications include block out liner and opaque single sided banners.
