Swiss-Engineered Ink Systems Deliver Unmatched Durability, Flexibility, and UV Resistance for Competitive Sailing and Marine Branding

PLACENTIA, CA — [7/7/25] — In the world of competitive sailing, where every ounce of drag and every micron of print clarity matters, Printcolor’s marine-grade coating technology has officially set sail in North America.

Deco Technology Group, exclusive North American distributor of Printcolor of Switzerland, proudly introduces a new era of sail decoration and textile performance coatings—built for offshore racing, extreme weather, and long-term outdoor use. These specialty inks are now being adopted by elite sailmakers, regatta programs, and marine branding professionals seeking high-performance results that won’t compromise sail weight or integrity.

“These aren’t just inks — they’re engineered coatings designed to flex, grip, and endure at sea,” said Mike Learmouth, President of Deco Technology Group. “Whether you’re printing custom logos on 3Di™ racing sails or branding weather-exposed marine canopies, Printcolor coatings deliver the durability and visual impact demanded by modern sailing.”

Engineered for Extreme Marine Conditions

Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, Printcolor’s ink systems are purpose-built for high-tension textiles and laminated composites — including 3Di™, carbon fiber, Dacron®, Vectran®, and PET sailcloths. These coatings withstand the brutal cycle of UV rays, salt spray, flexing, and wind pressure while maintaining vibrant color and print fidelity.

Flagship Products: Built for Performance, Designed for Sailcloth

  Water-based protective coating offering vivid color brilliance, excellent fabric adhesion, and low film weight — ideal for polyester marine fabrics.

Both series are available in standard colors, PANTONE®-matched custom shades, or as Mixing System (MS) formats for on-site formulation — reducing inventory waste and enabling faster production cycles.
