PRINTED CANOPY MATERIAL
We roll print the pattern directly onto the raw, unfinished material. The performance finishing process of the material takes place after the roller printing. The benefit of this, is that the ink is now printed directly onto raw unfinished fibers of the base material so there is an excellent absorption of the inks. Since the finishing process takes place afterwards, this seals the inks permanently into the fibers in comparison to screen printing on top of the slippery, water repellant chemicals used in the finishing process.

Since the inks are printed directly onto the raw white color material there is a very high absorption of the inks so the printed graphic is nearly the same on both sides of the material. When backlit from the sun the material is nearly identical on both sides. This also this makes extremely vibrant colors and illuminated designs previously unavailable using typical screen printing processes. Another Industry first for Cabrinha.

BAR ENDS
We lowered the profile of the EVA floating bar ends. By lowering the bar ends we have better aligned the line winders with the bar. This makes the winders more secure when winding line onto them. In addition, the line winders have increased in size and its geometry of better shaped to hold the line in place.

The EVA bar ends now have Flex Tips. The flexible tips allows the lower half of the bar to remain firm when winding the lines onto the bar.
