Yes — blackout fabric is standard for commercial installations, and custom printing does not compromise the blackout performance. The printed fabric is laminated or bonded to an opaque blackout backer, so your logo, branding, or imagery appears on the room side while the shade still blocks 100% of incoming light when fully drawn. This is common for corporate conference rooms that need both brand visibility and projector-ready darkness, hotel guest rooms where the shade is a statement piece by day and a blackout by night, and healthcare environments needing full light control in imaging suites or overnight stays.

For Fortune 100 commercial clients we offer Pantone color matching so your brand colors appear exactly as specified, and NFPA 701 fire-rated fabrics for code compliance in multi-occupancy buildings.

Pricing depends on fabric type, size, printing method, and operating hardware. As a general range: a 36" × 60" custom printed roller shade in a light-filtering fabric with a chain clutch starts around $320, the same size in blackout with cordless spring-assist runs roughly $450, and motorized options with smart home integration range from $580 to $900 per shade. Commercial grade fabrics and oversized widths (up to 144") price proportionally.

The biggest cost variables are fabric (blackout and acoustic fabrics cost more than standard light-filtering), size (oversize shades require heavier roller tubes and specialty handling), and motorization (hardwired or battery-powered motors add $200-400 per shade).

Any high-resolution image works — photographs, digital artwork, vector logos, commissioned illustrations, or stock imagery you hold a license for. We routinely print landscape and architectural photography, abstract and fine art, children's illustrations for nurseries, repeating textile patterns, and corporate brand imagery. Photographs should be at least 150 DPI at the final print size for crisp detail; for a 72" wide shade that means roughly a 10,800 pixel wide source file.

We also support edge-to-edge prints with no visible seams up to 144" wide thanks to our wide-format equipment. If your image is lower resolution, our team can often restore or upscale it — upload it and we will flag any quality concerns before production.

Roller shades are the most common canvas for printing because the flat, continuous fabric surface displays imagery without distortion. Horizontal blinds (Venetian-style) distort images across the slats and are generally not recommended for photographic printing, though they work for simple patterns. Printed Roman shades fold in horizontal pleats when raised, which means imagery appears continuous when the shade is down but segments when partially raised — best for patterns and abstract designs rather than faces or central focal points.

For most custom printing projects, roller shades deliver the cleanest result and are what this page covers. If you need printed Roman or cellular shades specifically, contact us — those are available on special order.

They are one of the fastest ways to add consistent branded visual identity to multi-window commercial spaces. We have outfitted full floors of corporate headquarters, hotel chains, restaurants with matching printed shades across dozens of openings, and large-format retail environments where each window becomes a point-of-sale canvas. Volume pricing applies for orders of 10+ shades.

Project management for larger installations includes: a site-survey template for accurate measurements, digital proofs showing how imagery ties together across a window wall, coordinated lead times so all shades arrive together, Pantone brand-color matching, and on-site installation coordination if desired. Our commercial sales team handles projects up to 500+ shades per order.
