Nearest by basis weight only. Weight is not quality — a lighter fabric is the right answer for a tension frame and the wrong one for a hanging banner. The figures beside it are there so the choice is made on the property the job actually cares about.

What printers found

Nobody has reviewed this one yet.

Worth saying plainly rather than hiding the section. In the meantime every figure on this page is measured, published with its test method beside it, and is the thing we would rather be judged on.

Before you quote it

Questions about this fabric

Will it run on my press?

The print routes this fabric takes are listed above. If the one you own is not there, Rio takes UV, latex and eco-solvent and is the fabric in this collection to look at instead.

How much does it move under heat?

Transfer temperature and the measured shrinkage are in the technical table on this page, with the test method beside each figure. That is the number that decides whether the finished panel fits the frame.

What does this cost?

The figure on this page is a list reference. Roll goods are quoted against width, volume and freight, so add it to a quote request and a person will come back with the real number.

Can I try it first?

Ask for test yardage. Your press, your ink, your RIP — it answers what a data sheet cannot.

A figure is missing. Why?

Because it has not been measured yet, and we would rather say so than publish something plausible. Rows with no number say where they stand.
