For outdoor banners, ECO-SOL MAX performs throughout the printing and finishing processes, maintaining image quality through welding, sewing and the attachment of grommets. With higher ink density and wider color gamut, ECO-SOL MAX graphics reflect brilliant color when viewed at a distance or close up.
