+ Are printed wings expensive?

No, not compared with what you get.

With our unique digital printing technology you get:

• Digital printing of whatever you want: Super high resolution photographs, advanced graphic art or a seamless blend between these two.
• 16.7 million colors
• Digital print on every square-inch of your canopy surface (if wanted)
• Close to zero added weight of your glider, due to the ink
• Saved weight compared to a standard wing, due to less stitching of printed canopy panels
• Smoother airflow over the wing surface, due to fewer seems disturbing the air, hence improved wing performance.
• A digital print that looks as good as the rest of the wing, for the whole technical lifespan of the glider.
• You can fly a complete complex company campaign (mixed photo/graphics/logo) for a sponsor- same as seen on buses, billboards etc. Printed Wings is truly something new and super cost-effective to offer any company, small, medium or big, wanting to enhance the existing marketing platforms with bringing the clients in-house- now with owning the sky. This instead of moderate logotypes and plain text messages in single colors- mounted with the most in common old methods; i.e. adhesive film or stitching.
• Printed wings are, despite the stunning possibilities, not more expensive compared with old methods of bringing a wing message to the sky. The old methods are in most cases equal in cost, or even above in cost, depending of the complexity, size and numbers of the logo / artwork / message, due to labor intense manufacturing and mounting on the wing. The old methods ads weight (adhesive film) and drag (stitching), both methods are limited in size & lifespan and only single options are available of each base color (red, green, blue etc.).

A market survey about custom artwork on wings has been created by American Paragliding, detailling other existing methods.

+ Will printing affect any characteristics of my flying products?

For certain printed products like paragliders, printing will in many cases lower the overall weight (due to less stitching) of a standard product as well as smoothen the airflow (also, due to less stitching) around the profile, as each cell will have minimum surface panels. Digitally printing on wings is the only way your design or campaign can be realised without affecting the standard flight characteristics of the wing.
