This product combines the practicality of blinds with the beauty of curtains. And the pattern on the fabric is juicy, lively and vivid thanks to a special printing technique.
Features of the
Roller blinds consist of a fabric and a roller. The special design rotates the shaft, folding or unrolling the roll. Moreover, it is possible to fix the fabric at any level of the window. This can be done using the side strips.
Unlike blinds, roller blinds are a single fabric that moves up and down, while blinds are made of parallel horizontal or vertical plates.
Printed roller blinds are of two types: open and closed. Their mechanism of action is similar, they differ mainly in design. The open view includes a shaft and a special bar, thanks to which the roll hangs evenly. In this case, the entire product is mounted on a wall or frame.
The closed view of roller blinds is more difficult to install. It has a box that covers the working shaft. Therefore, when minimized, its pattern will not be visible. And due to the side slats, you can adjust the illumination of the room.
This option has a more attractive appearance and is more expensive than an open one.
Both roller blinds are easy to handle, so even a child can handle them. Reliable fastening to the window frame will ensure long-term operation of this device. In addition, the fabric is impregnated with a special compound that is resistant to dust, dirt and moisture.
Drawing technique

To achieve the desired result, specialists leave small gaps between such saturated shades.
This affects the quality of the result obtained, but not much. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully approach the selection of the source image. As a result, a proof print can be made to ensure the quality of the design when printing.
Roller blinds with photo printing can be created using three technologies:
- ultraviolet printing;
- Solvent's seal;
- thermal printing.
UV printing carried out by printing on an inkjet printer. The device applies a special paint, which dries on the material under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Thanks to this, this technology has received such a name. Roller blinds with this print can withstand cleaning and frequent folding.
Solvent's Seal uses paints on a special basis, they penetrate the canvas and corrode the thin top layer. Due to this, the patterns are bright and rich. However, this technology has a disadvantage: it can only be used on special fabrics. The material must be durable, opaque, dust-repellent and easy to clean. In the manufacture of roller blinds with photo printing, combined Day-Night textiles, Dim-Out and Black-Out textiles are used. They do not deteriorate when printed and color evenly.
Thermal a thin layer of multilayer film is applied to the surface of the curtains.As a result of this printing, a product appears that can withstand the action of ultraviolet rays and not lose its color for a long time. But the main advantage of thermal printing is the environmental friendliness of the technology due to the use of natural water-based paints.
Types
The main task of curtains is to protect from light. According to this criterion, roller blinds are divided into the following types:
- light scattering;
- translucent;
- dimming (Dim-Out);

Blinds are often chosen for darkroom or home theater rooms.
Modern curtains "Zebra" with photo printing - an excellent interior decoration. They combine the functions of tulle and curtains and represent a canvas with alternating transparent and opaque stripes. Due to their design, they have luminous flux adjustment modes. If the stripes of the same type coincide with each other, then the room is filled with light. And if dense stripes overlap transparent ones, the light does not pass.
