Print Base Guide
Alexander Maverick offer a choice of six print base cloths, the range of these cloths expanding soon. All designs - whether standard, recoloured or resized - can be printed on any of the bases. Each cloth has unique qualities which will subtly alter the look of the printed colour.
Our fabrics can be post treated for fire retardancy, the specification dependant on the application the fabric is being used for.
