Signshop: The Norwegian Opera & Ballet has achieved great success with Wasatch SoftRIP TX, producing rich vibrant colors on fine fabrics. SoftRIP TX, developed exclusively for textile printing, and a d.gen Artrix GT Digital Textile printer allows them to create extraordinary costumes and accessories for their productions. SoftRIP’s powerful color tools and ease of use allow for complete control so the creative design is never compromised.

I want more photos!!! The one image provided in the article is very intriguing, but when clicked to enlarge, it is massively pixilated. While the website for the Norwegian Opera & Ballet does have photos, none are of Firebird, or of any other digitally printed costumes (at the time I am typing this). And none of the many links to various features on the Wasatch site from the Sign Builder Illustrated article provide photos. But if you click on “success stories” from the Wasatch site, you can see four higher res images (when you click on them individually) of the Firebird costumes here: http://www.wasatch.com/successNorwegianOpera.html
Now that we have the visuals… The Wasatch software features (efficient repeats, color generator, spot color replacement) seem to provide the tools needed to help facilitate the costume designer’s vision coming to life. My impression is that this technology is most useful in conjunction with traditional costuming techniques.
Originally, I thought I was reading an advertisement for a new product. Although the fabric looks lovely in terms of color vibrance and textile printing, there are few pictures of the fabric and even fewer of the production. In fact, there are only very vague sentences about the Opera itself, making the title extremely misleading. As for SoftRIP TX, a new form of fabric printing is exactly what the theatre needs to make more efficient and perfectly customizable costumes in a much faster manner. Often times it takes an eternity to produce handmade costumes, and even longer to hunt down the perfect fabric to pull off a desired costume design. The SoftRIP TX seems like the perfect material to use for the desired effect, especially as a new technique in contrast with traditional costuming techniques. That being said, this article makes me wonder how much of this article is an informed and enthusiastic report, instead of a long-winded sales pitch.
i am really glad to find Norwegian Opera & Ballet Success this is remarkable event i n Europe regional.
