The 2015 Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) Expo brought together leaders of the specialty imaging industry this year in Atlanta. In addition to a successful showcase, Fisher Textiles was recognized in the Association's prestigious Product of the Year Competition and DD 6788 MoJo^® backlit fabric was awarded Product of the Year for Media — Textile — Framing Systems. "We put extensive effort into developing this new product for backlit SEG. It took three years in the making," said Scott Fisher, president, Fisher Textiles. "To us, winning the Product of the Year award validates that this truly is a groundbreaking product." DD 6788 MoJo is Fisher's newest wrinkle resistant backlit fabric for direct dye sub, UV and latex printing.
