New Soft Signage Range from Doro

Doro join the soft revolution

Soft signage is booming so check out our range of fabulous fabrics that are specially formulated to give the best possible  results with eco solvent, solvent, latex and UV inks.

 

Samba Fabric

This 195gsm PU coated fabric offers lower production costs than dye sub.  It is quick and easy to install in tensioned systems without the need to sew or cut accurately as we can supply a self-adhesive silicone edging that fits into the profile frame and the rest is easy when using the tool provided. Use it front lit in display frames and banner systems as well as back lit in lightboxes and outdoors where the water tight properties make this fabric completely universal.

Digi-Fab

A 210gsm fabric with a removable adhesive that will stick to any smooth, non porous surface.  Even the worst crinkles can be smoothed out during application making this material perfect as a wallcovering for displays and interior decoration which is easy to apply and remove.

Evolon

A new PVC free and environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional banner fabric for digital printing. This patented microfilament fabric has excellent textile and mechanical properties making it strong and robust enough even for outdoor use whilst being 3-4 times lighter than traditional banner fabrics. Evolon is perfect for roller banners, blinds and exhibition graphics.

Silva-Lite Pro shines through the dark.

With the chance of being outside in this snowy weather a continued likelihood, being conspicuous to traffic is a very important issue.  Safety wear can, of course be purchased as standard with the reflective strips already attached but there is then an opportunity to personalise the safety clothing by adding graphics; company logos and sports club emblems.  And why not offer that little extra by adding an element of reflectivity to the Logo. By using Doro Tape’s brand new Silva-Lite Pro you can offer a completely different dimension to their personalised printwear.

Silva-Lite Pro shines through the dark

Doro Tape has just launched the Silva-Lite Pro; arguably one of the best reflective films for cad cutting and heat pressing on the market today.  This highly reflective flex film reflects the light with a brilliant silver-white intensity.  In fact Silva-Lite Pro meets the European Standard for reflectivity (En 471:2003+A1:2007) making it possible to use on safety clothing for emergency services, police and councils. There must be times when individual officers or firemen need to be identified easily in situation where light is poor.  Good reflective decals would be ideal in this situation and cad cut heat pressable films such as Silva-Lite Pro are ideal for this type of work.

One big improvement on the original Silva-Lite is the use of a sticky backed liner for the film.  This makes it even easier to cut and weed, allowing for really small graphics to be achieved.

This film is very versatile in that it can be applied to virtually any type of garment, whether it is a waterproof nylon jacket; a Lycra running top; a fleece or a cotton t-shirt.  It has passed the domestic ISO 6330 domestic wash test at 60⁰C and the manufacturers are at this time expecting it to pass the industrial wash test ISO 15797 at 75⁰C to include tumble drying.  This means it is ideal for private use or for corporate and sports clubs where garments may be cleaned on a more industrial scale.

Doro Tape now stock Silva-Lite Pro alongside their extensive range of flex films for the personalisation of garments.  The film is supplied at 500mm width by the metre, on a next day delivery service throughout the UK.
