Based in the Netherlands, Bob Mats has introduced several new printable carpets, in roll and in mat forms.

Bob Mats carpets are composed of PPT, a modified polyester that combines the advantages of traditional carpet materials to produce resiliency along with vivid colors. Using the company's white PPT yarn, these 5-mm thick carpets are compatible with dye-sub, aqueous, solvent, and oil-based inksets. Like all dye-sublimation processes, after direct-printing, the dye-sub carpets need to be heat set to bring out the deep and vibrant colors. The resultant carpets are stain-resistant and offer a very soft fiber with a wool-like touch, the company reports.

Vincent carpet feature PPT yarn and gel foam and natural rubber latex backing, allowing the carpet to resist dye-sub temperatures up to 200?C. The Vincent carpet is non-slip. Available in rolls up to 157 in.

Andy mats with rubber backing also employ the company's proprietary PPT fibers and can be imaged using dye-sub transfer paper or direct printing on a flatbed printer. The mats feature a washable 1.3mm to 1.5mm NBR rubber backing, can resist dye-sub temperatures up to 200?C, are flexible, will lay flat, and will not break under cold conditions. Mats come in a variety of standard sizes up to 33 x 59 in.

Other new carpets include:
