Fabric Displays

Enhance a Colour can create many types of fabric displays! Pictured here are three types: a Pop Up display, a JN display and a Pull Up display. Each one uses dye sublimated printed fabric with the greatest color gamut available to attract attention to your product. In addition to these off the shelf displays, our fabrication department can create just about any other type of stand or display that you may require. Please call Jim O’Connor to discuss your next project.

ESPN CELEBRATES 40TH YEAR OF MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

jrussell — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:44:57 +0000

ESPN is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Monday Night Football and needed to create a custom carpet to help promote their events. Enhance a Colour was asked to help by manufacturing the custom carpet. In every city that the Monday Night game is played they have a special luncheon event and wanted a carpet that was 10 feet wide x 26 feet long. But it had to be in sections so that if the venue could not take a 10 ft. x 26 ft. carpet they could improvise. EaC’s solution was to create a 10 ft. wide x 14 ft. long carpet with ESPN’s logo and then add 3 sections that were each 10 ft. wide x 4 ft. long (each additional section was to resemble a 5 yard addition). This way ESPN has the flexibility to have a 10 ft x 26 ft carpet and can also downsize all the way to a 10 ft. x 14 ft. carpet if space is an issue. EaC was able to manufacture the Dye Sublimated printed carpet by printing direct to the carpet and heat sublimating it on our own customized carpet calendared Heat Press @ 400 ° F making the carpet both machine and steam cleanable with no loss of color.

The Art of Attraction

Enhance a Colour helps solve the problem of how to change out wall graphics on a regular basis without destroying the walls. DKNY faced this problem in their outlet stores. With seasonal change outs and specials the walls were constantly having to be repaired and repainted as the Pressure Sensitive Vinyl graphics presently used when removed would pull paint and sheetrock from the walls. Enhance a Colour’s solution: the use of magnetic media systems to fix the problem. First EaC applied a permanent magnetic receptor to the wall and then a graphic printed on EaC’s UV friendly flatbed printers at a width of 54 inches wide. For larger graphics the panels can be installed next to one another with blind butt seams that are virtually invisible to the eye. DKNY’s wall graphic was 78 inches tall by 142 inches wide.

Enhance a Colour is pleased to announce that for the first time ever, 16 foot wide dye sublimated printing is now available for theater, opera, and concert backdrops. We have the only 16 foot wide dye sublimation unit in the United States. EAC has spent years perfecting a process that creates incredibly rich looking, colorful backdrops.

Dye Sublimated Theater Backdrop Color: The color gamut when using dye sublimation ink is much greater than solvent printing to fabric. For example, black is a color that is almost impossible to create using solvent printed fabric, but using the dye sublimated printing process brings out the richest black colors.

Most customers come to Enhance a Colour to fulfill large format graphics needs. In this case, however, Enhance a Colour’s superior color management techniques for custom fabric textiles brought the client through the door. This unique request allowed Enhance a Colour to work creatively and to work small. Using the same dye sublimated fabric process used to create 16 foot dye sublimated fabric banners and fabric backdrops; Enhance a Colour produced 40 individualized 14” square pillows and corresponding custom pillow cases. Enhance a Colour’s sewing department proved the quality of their work by keeping their stitches small. The finished pillows will be seen on future Sponge Bob television programs.

EAC Come to Broadway with Master Class

EaC was hired to manufacture backdrop visuals for this production. With our 16 ft. heat press, we were able to produce a vivid, nearly seamless visual on a material that allowed the production house to create a specialized lighting effect. We also produced 15 units that looked like solid wood but became transparent when backlit. Each of these units was a different size and had to be wrapped around real wooden frames. The set designer and the production house were thrilled with the oversized fabric and it can be seen at the Paper Mill Playhouse.

Out of Home Media, Lighting Up Times Square

Producing billboards from regular vinyl and mesh is no difficult task for EaC. Now even that was not the case last week when an event company asked for two billboards in Times Square standing side by side, imaged on different materials illuminated different but keeping a uniform look. We were commissioned to produce two billboards, each 30 feet by 50 feet, for the season opening of a TV series for the Starz Network. One billboard was to be lit from both the front and back, while the other was to be only backlit. Using both a backlit vinyl and a mesh vinyl we were able to adjust for the lighting and get both to appear as if they were lit the same way. The final result? Two large billboards and one happy customer.

Size Matters! 16 Foot Wide Dye Sublimated Fabrics & Promotional Carpet

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Size matters. Enhance a Colour introduces 16 foot Wide Dye Sublimated Fabrics
and Promotional Carpet. First in the United States.

Danbury, CT – 30 January 2009 – Enhance a Colour has created the only 16 foot wide seamless dye sublimated printing process in the United States. Previously, only solvent processes could produce 16 foot wide fabric.

“The dye sublimated printing process expands the color gamut available to our customers, making bright and vivid colors possible. With dye sublimated fabrics and carpet, the ink becomes part of the fabric. Fold it or crease it and the color will always be there. With a solvent process, the inks will only sit on the surface of the fabric. The underlying fabric color is visible at the crease and in the fold,” said Jim O’Connor, Owner and President of Enhance a Colour.

Enhance a Colour invested 22 months in the research and development effort, testing new processes, improving equipment, and identifying new sources for fabrics and carpet. “Our customers kept expressing concerns about the flat colors produced when solvent printing to fabric. They wanted dye-sub, but did not want the seams running through their graphics,” O’Connor noted. “It took some time, but now, we can offer them the same, high quality dye sublimated fabrics they are used to, but at the larger sizes their projects require.”

Enhance a Colour is offering seven fabrics and one type of promotional carpet. The fabrics are all fire retardant, in accordance with NFPA 701 Part 2 Large scale test, meeting national and many local fire requirements. The fabrics can also be machine-washed and machine-dried. Both product lines are available immediately.
