Jacquard Inkjet Fabric Systems

What Jacquard Inkjet Fabric Systems does

Jacquard Inkjet Fabric Systems is a California-based specialty textile manufacturer that provides custom fabric coating and pre-treated inkjet-printable fabrics to artists, crafters, and small textile print shops. Operating as a division under the Jacquard Products umbrella following a merger with its parent company, the business runs a single California production facility capable of coating fabrics up to 72 inches wide and paper-backing up to 60 inches wide. The company positions itself as an early pioneer of inkjet textile technology with what it describes as among the highest-performing coatings for digital textile printing available.

The core technology is proprietary chemical coatings that prepare textiles for digital inkjet printing across four major ink systems — pigment, acid, reactive, and disperse dyes. The flagship Fabrisign coating for pigment inks is highly viscous and engineered to attract pigment chromophores directly rather than relying on binders, functioning as an anti-migrant that delivers superior color vibrancy and washfastness. Complementary formulations include a Reactive Dye Coating that alkalizes fabric and locks dyes to fibers, an Acid Dye Coating that forms ionic bonds for silk, wool, nylon, and acetate, and a pretreatment that reacts with standard graphics inks (Epson, Canon, HP) to make them water-resistant. The off-the-shelf product portfolio spans cotton sateen, cotton percale, cotton twill, cotton canvas, two weights of linen, silk organza, and silk habotai, with custom treatment of customer-supplied fabric also available.

The revenue model is a B2B and B2C hybrid. Off-the-shelf fabrics and ancillary services are sold direct through an e-commerce storefront and through wholesale channels including retail stores and online-only resellers, with order placement handled via email ([email protected]) and phone (707-433-9577). Pricing is per-yard, ranging from $3.30 for paper backing up to $17.50 for 5.5 oz linen, with a 20-yard minimum and $200 minimum order value; volume discounts activate at the 250-yard threshold and beyond, with bulk rates negotiated directly. Add-on services — pre-rolling ($25/roll), sewing ($12/seam), packing ($4/roll), and trimming/slitting ($8) — provide incremental revenue per order. The primary customer segment is artists and crafters producing one-off or short-run prints, with textile manufacturers and print shops serving as a secondary business segment.
