Digital printing allows for customization and personalization of home décor fabrics and items. Key materials used for digitally printed upholstery include cotton, cotton blends, and polyester. Polyester fabrics like chenille, microfiber suede, sateen, voile, and canvas are most commonly digitally printed with sublimation inks for items like sofas, chairs, pillows, curtains, wall art and room dividers. Interior designers can use motifs and different printed fabrics to create coordinated interior designs and reproduce decorative items.
