Which digital printing technologies are supported?
Coatings for Digital Printing.
Contact us
High-quality coatings for digital textile printing, formulated for compatibility with solvent, eco-solvent, UV-curable, dye-sublimation, latex, and water-based pigment systems. These water-based coating compounds ensure excellent adhesion, colour performance, and print durability across a wide range of fabrics. Options are available with or without flame-retardant properties, allowing precise matching to customer specifications and printing technology requirements.
Coatings for Large Format Printing.
Specialised coatings for large-format textile printing, compatible with solvent,
eco-solvent, UV-curable, dye-sublimation, latex, and water-based pigment systems. These formulations deliver vibrant, sharp prints with excellent adhesion, colour depth, and resistance to cracking or penetration. Options include
flame-retardant and water-repellent coatings, ensuring consistent performance across diverse substrates.
Canvas Fine Art.
High-white base coatings for canvas and fine art applications, designed for superior print quality with solvent, eco-solvent, UV-curable, or latex inks.
The coating ensures smooth ink laydown, enhanced colour brilliance,
and lasting flexibility. It can also be used as a receptive base layer for water-based ink systems, with flame-retardant options available when required.
Back Lit.
Durable backlit textile coatings formulated for flexible fabrics used in display and signage applications. Available as foam or backcoating systems, they can be supplied in both FR and non-FR versions, depending on end-use requirements. Optimised for sublimation printing on uncoated sides, these coatings provide exceptional brightness, uniformity, and visual clarity in illuminated displays.

FAQ: Coatings for Digital Textile Printing
What does a digital printing coating improve?
A suitable coating can enhance ink adhesion, color intensity, image sharpness, and cracking resistance, and help control ink penetration. The goal is stable print quality and durability for the intended end-use.
Are there FR options for digitally printed textiles?
Yes. Depending on the substrate and the required standard, coatings can be offered with or without flame-retardant performance. The correct approach depends on the printing system and the final compliance target.
What is a “high-white base coating” used for?
High-white base coatings are often used for canvas and fine-art style applications to boost brightness, improve color rendition, and create a consistent print surface. The final choice depends on ink type and the desired surface feel.
Will coating affect fabric stretch or drape after printing?
It can, but systems can be tuned to balance print durability with flexibility. Substrate type, coating add-on, and curing conditions all influence the final handle and performance.
How do I test compatibility with my printer and inks?
The right approach is to test on the target fabric using your real print/curing conditions. Share ink type (e.g., latex/UV/pigment), printer parameters, and end-use requirements to shortlist the most suitable coating candidates.
