First2Print Transforms Rooms for Television’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ with Digital Textile Printing

For this project, First2Print digitally printed pre-treated fabrics from DigiFab Systems for several of the makeover rooms. For the pop-tab theme room with two color-ways of green and blue, a cotton sheeting was used. It was ideal for the pillow shams, curtains and bedcovers of the room. For another room on a different “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” show, First2Print printed on poly micro fiber which was chosen for its soft peach finish and feel – perfect for a softer more feminine decor. Both projects were printed using a Dupont Artistri printer with pigment inks on the cotton sheeting and disperse inks on the poly micro fiber. All textiles were post-processed with a DigiFab Heat Press, then washed, dried and ironed for delivery to the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” design and production team, which sewed the yardage into final goods.
