Think Positive Designer Prints We are international leaders in direct to fabric digital printing and textile design and our passion for colour has driven us to provide unparalleled quality colour reproduction. Our art room can create design originals and translate and develop your creative concepts into a printable format. We’re even able to take iconic old screen-prints and digitally remaster the colour and design to produce exquisite new digital silks or add a new dimension to a golden oldie.
