Can you print fine art or photographic reproductions on silk?

Yes, we can print fine art and photographic reproductions on silk using digital printing, which is the method that best reproduces continuous-tone images and fine detail. Digital print is available from 20-100 pieces per design, so a single image can be produced at a low minimum.

Print method - digital printing handles photographic and fine art reproduction; screen printing suits flat colour and simpler artwork rather than continuous tone.

Resolution and colour depth - how much detail and colour depth survive on silk depends on the fabric weight and weave, so the exact result is confirmed at sample stage rather than quoted as a fixed figure.

Proofing - a custom sample takes 7-10 days and the sample cost is credited against the bulk order, so you can approve the reproduction before committing to a run.

Minimums and cost - digital print starts at 20-100 pieces per design. Indicative wholesale pricing is roughly $1.5-$5 per piece for light printed silk at 8-12 momme, $4-$12 for standard 16-momme twill squares at 90x90 cm, and $8-$20 for heavier 19-22 momme satin or twill. Pricing steps down at 100, 500 and 1,000 pieces.
