Graphics: Woven fabrics such as Sunbrella accept painted graphics. We apply these graphics using special methods to ensure that the graphic will have crisp edges and will last the life of the cover. Painted graphics are limited to spot colors, and they are not suited well for very detailed artwork. We specifically do not use the Sunbrella Graphic System, which uses a patented technology to apply vinyl graphics to Sunbrella fabric. We have found that these graphics are prone to peeling, especially on loose hanging valances.
