More About Residential Printed Shades

Wide-Format & White-Ink Digital Printing

Insolroll’s in-house print studio delivers high-resolution, wide-format digital printing on most roller shade fabrics. Our 126″ UV printer allows us to produce large-scale graphics with exceptional clarity without clogging or filling the fabric’s openness.

We also offer white-ink printing, enabling vivid color, enhanced opacity, and dynamic contrast—especially on darker or translucent fabrics. The addition of white ink expands creative possibilities for both residential and commercial projects.

Print Shade File Requirements

  1. Vector File: A digital file made up of points on a grid that create an image. It can be resized without losing quality, so the image stays clear even if you make it bigger or smaller.
  2. CMYK Color Mode: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black—is the standard color mode used for printing. These four base colors are combined to produce the full range of printed colors. For the most accurate color matching, please provide your CMYK color values, Hex, or Pantone color codes. While we can attempt to match other color modes, the results may not be as precise.
  3. 150 DPI Minimum Resolution: DPI stands for “dots per inch.” The higher the DPI, the sharper the image will look. While we prefer 300, 150 DPI is a good quality for most prints.

Vector File Formats:

  • .ai, .eps, .svg, and scalable .pdf
  • .ai, .eps, and .svg files can be easily edited in most cases

How to Check if a PDF is Scalable:

  1. Zoom In: If the image stays sharp at 200% zoom, it’s a vector file. If it becomes blurry, it is not.
  2. Highlight Text: If you can’t highlight the text in the PDF, it’s not a vector file.

Key Points:

  • To get the best print, use a vector file in CMYK color mode, with at least 150 DPI. This helps ensure the image looks sharp and clear at any size.
  • .ai files are preferred because they offer more control for editing, as long as the image is not “flat.” 

What is a Flat Image? A flat image is when multiple elements, like text and a background, are merged into one element. This makes it harder to edit if changes are needed later.

How to find the image DPI:

On Windows:

  1. Right-click on the image file.
  2. Select “Properties”.
  3. Click the “Details” tab.
  4. Look for “Horizontal resolution” and “Vertical resolution” under the “Image” section.

On Mac:

  1. Open the image in Preview.
  2. Click “Tools” and then “Show Inspector”.
  3. Look for “Image DPI”.

In image editing software (like Photoshop):

  1. Open the image.
  2. Go to “Image” > “Image Size”
  3. The resolution will be displayed in “Resolution” along with the units (usually pixels per inch or “ppi”).
