  • Publication number: 20020103719
    Abstract: A color and/or base change process allows the consumer (customer, dealer, distributor) to communicate directly with a designer or other staff and change any of the existing designs to another base fabric or change colors within a design using any standard sample or color blanket. There are no complex diagrams, cumbersome pom boxes, paperwork for the consumer, or large order minimums—as in the past. Once the change is made, the consumer will preferably receive an e-mail image or laser print image of the changed product within 24 hours, a 2′×3′ sample will be sent within 7 days, and the final product is also available within 7 days. This is a complete custom job within a 2 week time period.
