ET8050 Super Sonic Backlit is one of the industry’s only dye sub printable backlit fabrics made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. This soft, suede knit produces an excellent vibrancy of print, amplified when backlit. Post-pandemic, there has been a tremendous eco-conscious demand for soft signage made with eco-friendly polyester to provide environmental benefits. Using recycled polyester not only keeps plastic PET bottles out of landfills, it also reduces energy consumption and conserves petroleum resources which are used in producing virgin polyester. Another noteworthy feature is the fabric’s wrinkle resistance. Finished SEGs made with Super Sonic can ship folded instead of on a roll, to save on shipping and storage costs. It weighs 7.7 oz/yd2 and is stocked 126-inches wide. It is flame retardant and meets NFPA 701. A treated version of this fabric is available for direct and UV-curable printing.

Fiery® imposition software integrates with the Konica Minolta’s popular inline slitter/cutter/creaser finisher to save up to 80% in setup time and ensure imposed jobs will be finished correctly without waste. Use Fiery Finishing Designer to visually add finishing marks and create finisher presets for common job sizes, eliminating trial-and-error setup. Then create an imposition layout that is compatible with the cutting sequence from the finisher preset. After this one-time set up, eliminate manual data entry for future similar jobs using Fiery Impose templates and the finisher preset.
