Graphic FlexShade® from Draper offers in-house high-resolution, custom digital printing featuring brilliant CMYK color reproduction. The printed shades produce eye-catching window shade signage, trade show displays, sports facilities, and archival museum signage.
Features
Draper utilizes highly accurate spectrophotometers for profiling, printer calibration, and scanning of color targets. Their printer operators can color match physical targets through the use of printed color grids, dialing in the final printed colors until they are just right. For a small number of shades with a custom weave, color, or pattern, this is more cost-effective than manufacturing a one-off fabric.

Use
- Color Coordinate
Graphic shade printing technology means Draper technicians can take color samples and use them to come up with the perfect custom color shade. - Create Views
Interior windows that look out over bleak courtyards or offices can be turned into calming art by adding some nature scenes or natural patterns with graphic shades. - Advertise
Exterior advertising can be costly. Graphic shades can help you make use of windows as a “free” commodity. - Inspire
Shades can be used to deliver subtle and well-designed messages inside a building. Use graphic shades to display inspirational sayings or artwork, while also reducing glare and solar heat gain. - Healthcare
Studies have shown that a view of nature shortens hospital stays and reduces the amount of medication required by patients. Graphic shades can be used to add them.
Recommended Fabrics
- Opaque White
A white opaque vinyl suited for crisp image reproduction - E Screen in 1, 3, 5 or 10% openness
A white mesh fabric that allows fabric view-through. Mesh fabrics allow view through and therefore do not reproduce graphics quite as sharply as opaque fabrics. - Other Fabrics
For an additional expense, Draper may be able to print on non-white fabrics, or fabrics not listed above.
Manufacture
Draper Roller Shades are manufactured in the USA using primarily USA-woven fabrics from Phifer and Mermet, ensuring a simple and direct supply chain that gives Draper maximum control over fast deliveries and product availability.
