Our second Durst P5 500 TEX iSUB is up and running. It’s a big machine, and we’re proud of it. But you don’t buy show graphics by the printer, so here’s what it actually changes for you.
In short: more capacity for rush jobs and late changes, a backup when you need one, and the same color on every panel. Just in time for the busiest months on the show calendar.
Seamless graphics up to 16 ft wide
Both iSUB printers print 16 ft wide, in any length. That’s wide enough to put most large backwalls up in one piece, without a sewn seam running through the logo or across a face.
No seam means no strips to line up and sew, and nothing for the eye to catch on under show lighting or in the booth photos your client will share afterward.
Print and fix color in one pass
On many textile printers, printing and fixing the color are two separate steps. The fabric is printed, rolled up, moved to a calender and run through it again.
The iSUB does both in a single pass: the ink is sublimated into the fabric right on the printer. That means less handling between steps, fewer chances for creases or marks, and less time between your approval and a finished graphic. It’s one of the reasons we can offer a standard lead time of 5 working days, from approved artwork to delivery anywhere in the U.S.
A backup built in
With one wide-format printer, a single breakdown can stall every job in the queue. With two iSUBs, a second machine can pick up the work.
For you, that means no single machine holding up your job. And when a show date moves or a late change comes in, we have the room to fit in rush work without pushing back everyone else’s.
The same color on every panel
A booth is rarely one graphic. It’s a backwall, a counter, a few towers, sometimes reprints months later. They all need to match.
We run FOGRA color-managed workflows across our printers, so the blue on your backwall is the same blue on your counter. Two identical iSUBs, calibrated to the same standard, make it easier to keep every panel consistent, even when a job runs on both machines.
Our production floor in numbers
| Equipment | Number | Width |
|---|---|---|
| Durst P5 500 TEX iSUB printers | 2 | 16 ft |
| HP Stitch printers | 10 | 10 ft |
| Automated cutting tables | 3 |
Together, our printers can produce up to 86,000 sq ft of printed textile a day. That’s more than 400 backwalls of 20 x 10 ft, every working day.
The two iSUBs alone can print up to about 1,900 ft of 16 ft wide fabric a day. Laid end to end, that’s more than five football fields, end zones included.
Put it to work
All of this only matters if it makes your next show easier. So let’s test it on a real project.
