Our Story
Built to reimagine what printed textiles can be
ColorArmor is the exclusive North American license partner of Printable BV, the European pioneer behind the SolidskinTec® print process. Together we operate the only two production facilities worldwide designed to deliver this print-to-protect technology.
We are not a print shop. We are a technology company that has licensed, built and staffed a production facility specifically to deliver the SolidskinTec® process to North American clients — with the same rigour and quality that has produced 7+ years of proven installations across Europe.
Reimagine Print Endurance
We exist to make durable printed textiles available to North American architects, designers and graphic production artists — eliminating premature failure, reducing lifecycle cost and enabling projects that were previously impossible.
