Used fabrics with a print are divided not only in composition, but also in the degree of protection against UV rays. In terms of sun protection, they can be:

• Translucent. By their qualities they resemble light curtains. They perfectly protect from indiscreet looks outside and slightly from sunlight.
• Shading (Dim-Out). Protect from excessive heat and light. In addition to residential and office space, can be used in greenhouses and winter gardens.

In addition to the use of various fabrics, different roll shutters with a photo image on plastic windows and on their design:

• Cassettewhose mechanism is hidden box. Usually such blinds have significant dimensions and are mounted above the window opening.

• UV printing - drawing of the image by means of the jet printer and special dyes. The paints freeze on the canvas under the influence of sunlight, which gave the name to the printing method. At the same time the drawings are very durable, do not fade and do not crumble even after repeated twisting of the blinds.
• Thermal printing. In this variant of application to the canvas with the help of high pressure and temperature, the thinnest multilayer film with a pattern is reliably “glued”. The film can be glossy or matte, it is highly resistant to temperature effects (up to 170 ° C) and solar radiation, enhanced moisture resistance.
• Solvent printing. It is made with the help of paints, completely penetrating the fabric. Thanks to special substances coloring compositions corrode the top layer of fabric, giving bright and rich images. The disadvantage of this technology is that it is not available on all types of fabric base.

A variety of printing technologies allows curtains to be applied on both regular images and photos with a 3D effect.
