The printing process is called “Dye Sublimation Printing” and the type of fabric was a wrinkle-free non-reflective foldable Soft Knit fabric. I believe it’s a polyester mix but the actual material is unlabeled. The important thing is that it has minimal glare or shine.

Ratings continue to plunge for Oprah
Posted by TJ Walker in News, Uncategorized on July 27, 2010
I’d never bet against Oprah, but her continued downward ratings spiral on broadcast proves she was smart to start migrating to cable. The big question is, will she hold up in social media, if and when cable TV crumbles?
