It is characterized by beautiful colors, but the colors are even more vivid when the LED light is turned on. Homare Exhibition's fabric for electric coloring uses one piece of fabric per panel, regardless of size, so there are no joints and the fabric is nice and taut. No ironing is required. LEGO series fabrics are treated for disaster resistance. |

About printing on fabric media
The cloth media (cloth) we handle is a transparent, waterproof material. It has a slight stretch, so it can be attached neatly and neatly. (*Please note that since we have many partner factories, there may be slight differences in the texture of the fabric depending on the factory.)
Due to the characteristics of the material, fabric media (cloth) does not produce colors in the same way as prints on paper, so some printed colors may be difficult to reproduce.
The way colors look varies from person to person, and just as there are differences between PC monitors, there are also differences depending on the output material and printing machine. Even if the same data is printed, the color will be different depending on the media material and printing machine.
The data you submit will be printed using the process color (CMYK) information of the data as is, but please note that the colors will be those of our printing press. If you provide color information using color charts such as DIC or PANTONE when submitting the data, we will print as close to the specified colors as possible.
In addition, since it may be particularly difficult to reproduce the colors of the following items, we recommend that you perform color calibration to ensure color matching.
- Blue colors
- High and low color intensity
- Items with gradation or shading
Color Proofing Options
A color proof is a trial print to check the color and photo output before the actual printing.
Our color proofs are prepared on two A3 sheets as shown below. (※)
A3 size / 2 sheets 10,000 yen (excluding tax)
* Shipping costs are not included.
Overall reduction
The entire image of the data to be printed is reduced to one A3 size page and output.
Actual size of part
A portion of the data to be actually printed is extracted and output at full size on one A3 sheet.
*Please note that the color proofing of large size products may differ from the above specifications.
(The two types available, full-scale reduction and partial actual size, will remain the same, but other specifications such as size may change.)
* A color proofing fee [A3 size/2 sheets: 10,000 yen (excluding tax)] will be charged each time you print an additional color proof after it has already been printed or re-print it after correcting the data.
