What Imatec Digital Graphics Co., Ltd. does

Nanjing Imatec Imaging Co., Ltd., operating commercially as Imatec Digital Graphics / Imatec Imaging, is a Chinese manufacturer of large format printing (LFP) media headquartered in Nanjing's High-tech Development Zone. Founded in 2008 under the RiteColor and Imakoo brands, the company produces coated printing substrates including inkjet canvas rolls (cotton, polycotton, polyester, and self-adhesive variants), premium RC photo paper in weights from 190gsm to 310gsm and multiple surface finishes (glossy, luster, satin, silky, metallic, pearl), digital textile fabrics (backlit and blockout), wallcovering fabrics, and superwide format fabrics up to 510cm (126 inches) in width. Products are compatible with aqueous, eco-solvent, latex, and UV-curable inkjet systems from major printer brands including Epson, Canon, HP, Roland, Mutoh, and Mimaki.

The technical foundation rests on proprietary microporous coating technology for high ink absorption and image sharpness, and resin-coated (RC) constructions delivering waterproof, instant-dry performance with vivid color reproduction. Manufacturing is anchored by five automatic coating production lines with annual capacity of up to 5 million square meters, validated by SGS certification and Intertek supplier assessment. Standard lead time is 7–10 days, with shipping executed from four major Chinese ports (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou).

Imatec operates a sales-led B2B wholesale model with a quote-based pricing structure, minimum order quantities as low as one roll, free sample support within 24 hours, and OEM/ODM private-label manufacturing for global distributors and resellers. The company manages its own exporting trade team and maintains a five-language multilingual website (English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic) alongside social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Blogger, and Instagram. Customer segments include professional photography labs, fine art reproduction studios, commercial printers, advertising agencies, interior designers, and OEM distributors — none of which are publicly named.
