Printed diffusion canvases
When light becomes a message. Backlit, our diffusing fabrics transform light boxes and display units into vibrant surfaces: the light passes through the graphic, bringing out the depth of the colours and softening the contrasts. Depending on your set-up and formats, we offer two types of fabric, both made from 100% polyester, PVC-free and recyclable. The sublimation diffusion fabric, for deep colours and high-definition results. And the UV diffusion fabric, designed for very large formats, with the option of localised opacity effects to highlight a logo or message. The guarantee of stunning visuals.

FAQ - Diffusing canvas: reveal your visuals in a new light
What is a diffuser fabric and why use it?
Diffusing fabric is a technical textile designed to diffuse light evenly across the printed surface. Its special feature is its translucent structure, which allows light to pass through while highlighting the printed visuals.
This type of support is particularly suited to backlit frames, lightboxes, or lighting systems found at trade fairs, in shops, shop windows, and stage sets. It allows for the creation of bright, luminous visuals, where colours gain intensity and depth, while ensuring clear readability even in low-light environments.
What are the advantages of the diffusing fabric offered by EG Print?
The diffusing fabric printed by EG Print is a high quality solution, designed to combine technical features, aesthetics and durability.
Its main advantages:
- Controlled light transmission: the textile is calibrated to offer a soft diffusion, without a "halo" effect or overexposure.
- Excellent print quality: carried out using sublimation or UV printing, the print guarantees faithful colour reproduction, even in backlighting.
- Versatile use: can be used indoors as well as for events or retail.
- Compatibility with aluminium frames: the fabric can be stretched without wrinkles or excessive tension, particularly on structures such as SEG (silicone rubber) or LED profiles.
- Lightweight and strong: textiles are easy to transport, install and store, while retaining their tension and quality over time.
This canvas is ideal for creating an immersive atmosphere while using light to enhance your brand image.
When should you use a diffusing fabric?
Here are a few concrete examples of how diffusing fabric can be used in your communication systems:
- Illuminated boxes and lightboxes: in-store, on a stand or in a showroom, for backlit visuals that really stand out.
- Event décor: creation of customised backdrops, partitions or illuminated ceilings.
- Top-of-the-range signage: to promote an offer, a range or a key visual with maximum visual impact.
- Interior design elements: in commercial, cultural or private spaces where light becomes an integral part of the message.
Diffusing fabric is a medium that transforms light into an asset, while guaranteeing a strong, elegant visual presence.
Can I customise the diffuser fabric?
Yes. As with all our media, the diffusion canvas is custom-printed, according to your files, your dimensions, and your desired finishes. The print width can be up to 5 metres, seamless, and specific cuts are possible to adapt to your structures.
Several types of processing are available:
- Installation of stitched gasket for aluminium frame,
- Sleeves for suspension or tensioning,
- Eyelets, hems or Velcro straps depending on configuration.
Our team is with you every step of the way, from briefing to installation, to ensure the best possible visual and technical results.
Is this textile eco-responsible?
The diffusing fabric, like our entire textile range, is part of a responsible approach. It is printed in our French workshops, using solvent-free aqueous inks, on substrates selected for their durability and quality.
We also offer collection and recycling solutions to limit the environmental impact at the end of the cycle. Because light and commitment can coexist, we integrate eco-design into every project, without compromising on the final result.
