Scanner Technology
Flat bed, black and white rotary and full colour rotary scanners are used for inputting original artwork to our separation computers, depending on the original artwork size and medium. i.e. black and white film work would be scanned using the black and white rotary scanner.

Separation Technology
Even if the separations have been produced using traditional hand drawn techniques, they still need to be transferred onto our computers for final retouching.

Designs are transferred onto either our AVA CAD/CAM Apple Macintosh based software, or our Nedgraphics IBM Pc based software to be separated.

Using both IBM pc computers and Apple Macintosh computers tied into the same computer network gives us the unique position of being able to transfer files seamlessly between the two formats.

Printer Technology
Currently both wide format paper prints and smaller "Super A3" prints are available for you to use in the design process.

Wide prints can be up to 1metre 30cm in width and up to 4 metres in length. These prints are extremely useful for furnishing designs as full engraving width prints can be produced to show design placement on the final fabric roll.

This is a scaled down version of a design which was printed out at actual size to a length of 1727mm and a width of 800mm. It clearly demonstrates how a well balanced design will look on the final print run.

Continuous Fabric Printing

We can also create fabric prints on almost any rolled (preferably treated) fabric up to 1500mm in width by approximately 50metres on our continuous printing Mimaki fabric printer.
Please contact us or see the Fabricad Design website for more details.
