hey all,


we started making our own lightboxes using aluvision aluminum and gaskets

we solvent print onto Samba FR fabric.

my problem is that when we sew the gasket strips on we have to be very accurate since the samba has little to no stretch to it.
Does anyone know of a nice fabric that is Solvent or UV printable , works backlit, AND has at least a little bit of elasticity.

Thanks again for any suggestions

we have a
epson surecolor roll media
roland LEJ-640 flatbed
and roland vs 640 roll media

most of that lightbox work is dye sub stretch fabric. if you find a solvent fabric that works let us know.
