In fabric printing, confidence is everything. Confidence that colour will repeat. That materials will behave. That production will remain efficient under pressure.
Increasingly, that confidence is being built around Tissaro Fabrics — Papergraphics’ purpose-engineered textile range, developed to remove compromise from dye-sublimation printing.
A recent success story with KGK Genix shows exactly why Papergraphics and Tissaro Fabrics are becoming the partners of choice for forward-thinking print providers and retail design agencies.

From Opportunity to Advantage: The KGK Genix Story
KGK Genix is a multidisciplinary agency delivering creative, print, project management, and installation solutions to some of the world’s biggest brands. With a strong focus on innovation and production excellence, the team identified fabric printing as a key area for growth.
Rather than making incremental changes, KGK Genix took a strategic step forward — investing in the HP Stitch S1000 dye-sublimation printer and integrating Tissaro Fabrics at the core of their new workflow.
The impact was immediate.
“When we compared it to what we were running before, the cost-saving benefits were very clear. Energy consumption is significantly lower, and material efficiency alone saves us around eight linear metres of fabric every time we load a roll” — Ryan Player, Fabric Manager at KGK Genix.
Combined with the Stitch’s speed and consistency, KGK Genix effectively doubled production output without sacrificing quality — while gaining the flexibility to run jobs out of hours when needed.

Why Tissaro Performs Where It Matters
While the HP Stitch delivered productivity, it was Tissaro Fabrics that ensured performance stayed predictable and repeatable for KGK Genix’s demanding, high-profile clients.
Developed by Papergraphics, Tissaro is not designed to be a “one-size-fits-all” textile. Each fabric is application-focused, engineered specifically for dye-sublimation so that colour, handling, stretch, and stability behave exactly as production demands.
For KGK Genix, that translated into confidence from day one.
“We’ve been using Tissaro Aura lightbox, Nero black-back, and Luxe display fabric. The quality has been brilliant. Papergraphics handled colour profiling on their materials for us, which saved a lot of time and effort” — Ryan Player, Fabric Manager at KGK Genix.
Supporting High-Profile, High-Expectation Work
The new setup is already delivering on demanding, high-value projects — including work connected to a major Nike relaunch. When colour accuracy, reliability, and finish are non-negotiable, KGK Genix — and its clients — know exactly what their fabric production can deliver.

Extending the Tissaro Advantage: New Solutions
While Tissaro was developed with dye-sublimation as its foundation, extensive real-world testing has demonstrated that selected fabrics in the range also perform exceptionally well with Latex and UV inks.
The range has now expanded, offering even greater production flexibility without compromising quality.
New Multi-Ink Fabrics (Dye-Sub, UV & Latex)
- Tissaro Luce — A coated lightbox textile delivering sharp detail, smooth light diffusion, and colour-rich results. Designed to perform across dye-sublimation, Latex, and UV inks, Luce offers consistent, high-quality output for lightbox applications.
- Tissaro Vant — A dense black-back fabric offering excellent opacity, contrast, and colour consistency. Designed for multi-ink workflows, it performs perfectly with dye-sublimation, Latex, and UV inks. “You need to see Vant for yourself if you print fabrics with LATEX or UV inks!”
New Dye-Sub Speciality Fabrics
- Tissaro Ocio — A high-strength outdoor flag mesh designed for airflow, durability, and visual impact. As demand grows for large outdoor advertising displays, Ocio combines vibrant print quality with lighter weight and long-term durability.
- Tissaro Vivo — A two-way stretch textile designed for sculpted, distortion-free displays. Two-way stretch simplifies frame installation, and the stretch polyester has memory, meaning you can fold it for transport and it will return to its original shape once tension is reapplied.
Each addition follows the same Tissaro philosophy: the right fabric for the right application, with predictable, production-ready results.

More Than Fabric: A Working Partnership
What underpins the success of Tissaro isn’t just material performance — it’s how Papergraphics brings fabrics, technology, and expertise together.
From colour profiling and training to long-term technical support, customers like KGK Genix aren’t left to figure things out alone.
“The support has been outstanding throughout. From installation to training and beyond, the team have been brilliant. That’s what made this transition such a success for us” — Ryan Player, Fabric Manager at KGK Genix.
A Fabric Range Built on Trust
The growing adoption of Tissaro Fabrics isn’t driven by claims — it’s driven by results in live production environments and the trust those results create.
For print providers looking to move into fabric, refine existing workflows, or eliminate uncertainty in dye-sublimation printing, Tissaro has proven to be a fabric range they can rely on.
