Printing on textile cover materials
The large selection of binding materials available enables the designer to give a hardcover book the ‘packaging’ it deserves. Over time, linen has definitely proved its worth as a binding material. For many book-lovers and readers, a book simply must be bound in linen to be attractive, strong and valuable. Van Heek Textiles has done much to give designers or publishers a real choice from the various types of bookbinding cloth in contemporary colours. One of the advantages linen has over other binding materials, it’s being a natural product: its feel and texture after weaving.
In contrast to the past, nowadays many printing techniques can be used for textile cover materials. Even combinations of various printing techniques on the same binding are perfectly possible. For a brief overview of the techniques best suited for our cover materials, please visit the link below.
