The Digital Imaging Process
Once you have purchased your umbrellas and given your final approval of the proof with your panel colors and the placement of your logos, we will begin construction of your custom umbrellas. At Commercial Site Furnishings, we apply your logo directly on 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric with a maximum 1440 dpi resolution. Your logo, graphic design or photograph will stand out with vibrant colors. We can apply one color or multi-color digital graphics.
The fabrics come with a 10-year warranty against fading, mildew, rot and damage from atmospheric chemicals. The attached image was printed using a JV33-160SP with a solvent based ink on 3M IJ180 film.
The film is transferred to the fabric via a vacuum heat compression system that bonds the image to the canvas for bold and stunning images that are also durable.
What Image Format is Required?
Please only send a vectorized EPS or Adobe Illustrator (AI) file. We cannot accept GIF, JPG, PSD, etc., as these files will not produce a high enough resolution graphic for our process. We will accept a GIF, JPG, PSD, etc. to create a sample image of how your custom umbrella may look.
Logo printing costs are based on the colors you need printed (monotone or full color) and at a per panel charge based on the entire order. A panel is defined as the area between the ribs, extending down to the valance. Prices vary depending on the entire number of panels ordered. No minimum quantity is required to order.
To ensure your satisfaction, we will provide a proof for your approval. We will send a mockup (usually a JPEG file of a 2-dimensional umbrella) with your logo printed on it.
Logos typically cover 45-50% of the panel they are printed on. Oversized logos may incur additional fees. Generally, all logo printing on square umbrellas incurs the 40% upcharge for oversized graphics due to the larger umbrella panels. Text copy can also be printed. If you are placing your logo on a panel or panels on your umbrella, we can imprint text on the valance below the panel at no extra charge.
