DYE-SUBLIMATION PRINTING
Continuous evolution and investments in futuristic, remarkably fast digital textile printers enable our production of display graphics in record time on a multitude of material types.
As a result, we have the ability to print a remarkable 23,000 sq. ft. per hour via 9 cutting-edge fabric printers. Our high-speed process produces vibrant six-color output up to 5 meters wide. Thanks to water based inks and low consumption, the process is a fully eco-friendly printing process.
Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG)
Orbus prints graphics for a wide variety of aluminum SEG frames and systems.
Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG) or Push-Fit fabric graphics are dye-sublimated printed fabric graphics that have a thin silicone strip on all edges. The silicone edge part of the graphic is “pushed” into the extrusion profile on the edge of the display, resulting in a taut and wrinkle-free appearance. SEG displays minimize the appearance of the frame system (hardware) because the graphic stretches to the very edges of the frame.
We stock Orbus and non-Orbus frames and a variety of beading types and widths, ensuring the perfect graphic fit for any frame system! Extrusion frames DO NOT need to be sent in for proper fitting. Simple details need to be provided to your sales representative.

G7 CERTIFICATION
The graphics we provide are G7 certified and printed on state-of-the-art equipment.
G7 certification helps ensure the production of the highest quality, consistent and accurate color graphics. G7 specifies the components of an image that define a similar “visual appearance" to the human eye.
- Defines a color metric definition for gray balance
- Specifies gray balance in the midtones and image contrast from the highlights to the shadows
- Defines the ideal colorimetric black and CMY gray-tone curves for an image
- Specifies a step-by-step method for calibrating proofing systems and printers to these tone curves
Orbus has been producing consistent, high quality graphics with accurate color to the G7 specification for over 10 years.
