Maggie takes a look at the new DCF printing technology being used by LiteAF.

My EVH custom LiteAF 46L Curve.

I had to send him the image file in the proper dimensions. I found the pattern online and used image editing software to enlarge it without loss of quality. For the 46L, it was 40”x26” and 300 dpi.

Not that many years ago, dye-sublimation prints on paper were notorious for fading rapidly in sunlight. And dyes vs pigments are still a hot topic for archival print nerds.

Hope the dyes and processes have improved for LiteAF and related DCF printing companies – because the results are stunning.

Maggie – most of my backpacking wardrobe is sky blue, so you’re not alone in tending toward monochromaticity. Luckily, a few days of dirt and sweat tends to fix that :-)
