Printing Process & Fabrics

At Printsonlinen, we use advanced, eco-conscious pigment printing technology to reproduce rich, detailed images directly onto linen. Our process captures the full CMYK color range—bringing your designs to life with clarity, depth, and vibrancy.

We print on rail meters (1.46 m / 57 in width), and every project is customized to suit your unique layout requirements—based on product type, positioning, and stamping needs.

 

Why Choose Linen?

Linen is more than just a fabric—it’s a lifestyle choice rooted in natural beauty, sustainability, and enduring quality.

  • Eco-friendly by nature: Made from flax, linen is one of the most sustainable textiles on the planet. It requires less water, fewer chemicals, and produces virtually no waste.

  • Naturally breathable & hypoallergenic: Ideal for sensitive skin, linen regulates temperature and wicks away moisture—making it a favorite for everything from apparel to home textiles.

  • Aging gracefully: Linen becomes softer and more beautiful with every wash, developing character over time while maintaining its strength.

  • Timeless elegance: With its gentle texture, organic charm, and refined feel, linen brings sophistication and warmth to any setting.

Choosing linen means embracing a fabric that’s kind to your skin, your home, and the environment.

Softening & Natural Shrinkage

After printing, you can opt for our gentle softening treatment to enhance the fabric’s feel. Please note: softened linen will naturally shrink by approximately 5–7%—a characteristic of its authentic, untreated nature.

Tips for the Best Printing Results

For optimal results, we suggest using images with lighter or mid-tone colors. Very dark designs may soften slightly over time due to natural wrinkling from repeated washing—similar to how leather ages with wear.

Planning to use your print as an appliqué or patch? We recommend sizing your artwork to allow for multiple units per meter. For example, up to eight smaller images can fit on a single rail meter—maximizing your material and reducing waste.
