I am working on a project that I need a graphic printed on a very think cloth material. Probably along the same lines as the thin material used in the pop up tradeshow displays. The material is part of a bigger project where it will be coated with a clear fiberglass resin. Any ideas of who would could print this?
Figure the pieces would need to be 3'x18'. 2 copies. Thx

Printing on thick fabric is actually pretty easy, it's printing on soft, thin fabric that difficult. To print on soft fabric you do need to sublimate it and few, if any sign shops have a dye sub printer.
But to print on heavy fabric, there are many fabrics available, including Sunbrella, that can be solvent printed. These fabrics usually are too heavy to drape nicely, but they may be just what you're looking for.
Many shops, including mine, could do this for you if you don't have a solvent printer. You'd just have to need enough to pay for a special roll of fabric.
