Equipment and capacity

What is actually on the floor.

Every press, calender and cutting bed, with the widths — so you can check a drawing against real capacity before you send it, and know whether your graphic needs a seam. Print, cut and fabrication all run at 550 McNicoll Avenue in North Toronto.

Dye sublimation fabric

One continuous piece, 16 ft wide by 140 ft long

No stitch line in either direction. A 3.2 m machine forces a seam into most backwalls, stage backdrops and full-height lightboxes; at five metres those run as a single panel with no colour step across a join and no panel registration to manage on site. Water-based disperse dyes on PVC-free polyester, printed direct to fabric or to transfer paper.

UV printing

Roll and rigid, white ink and varnish on both

White ink matters on anything going onto clear, coloured or backlit substrate — without it a graphic on glass or acrylic goes transparent where it should be opaque. Varnish is available matte or gloss, so a spot finish can pick out one element of a design without a second pass on another machine.

Cutting and finishing

Cut beds up to 5 m square

Digital cutting means shaped signage, contour cuts, creased and folded rigid work and routed components come off the same file the graphic was printed from — so the cut follows the artwork rather than an operator following a line.

FAQ

Questions about capacity

What is the largest graphic you can print without a seam?

Sixteen feet wide by a hundred and forty feet long, as one continuous piece, on the five-metre dye sublimation line. That covers most stage backdrops, arena and stadium runs, full-height retail lightboxes and tradeshow backwalls that would otherwise be panelled. Rigid work is limited by sheet size rather than the press, and the cutting beds go to five metres square.

Do you print white ink?

Yes, on both UV machines — the VUTEk Q5r for roll and the Agfa Tauro for rigid and hybrid work. White is what makes a graphic read properly on clear acrylic, coloured substrate, window film and anything backlit.

Can you match a Pantone or a previous run?

We are G7 Master certified and renew it annually, which means our presses are calibrated to a shared grey-balance standard rather than to themselves. Specify critical colours as Pantone references and send any previous printed sample you want matched. For ongoing programmes we hold the profile and the artwork on file so a repeat run matches the first one.

Do you run everything in house?

Printing, cutting, hardware fabrication and fulfillment are all at 550 McNicoll Avenue in Toronto. That matters mostly for the handoffs: a SEG graphic is printed against the same profile the sample was built on, and the extrusion it tensions into is cut and mitred in the same building.
