"Print on Order Camouflage" is available to the masses.
May 1, 2012 (Vancouver, B.C.) Hyperstealth
Biotechnology Corp. announces DECEPTEX, an innovative "Print on Order" camouflage system
capitalizing on 21st century technology. Deceptex is not a camouflage
pattern but a camouflage system; Hyperstealth will use their two large format digital inkjet
textile printers to print any Deceptex pattern as customer will be able to
order one or more uniforms based on a selection of hundreds of Hyperstealth
Camouflage patterns (see 585 current Deceptex
patterns at bottom of page) .
In 1918 the Model-T was "available in
any color as long as it was black". Jump ahead almost 100 years and due to a
similar set of circumstances, camouflage is available in a limited pattern
selection.
Deceptex
was developed by Hyperstealth's President/CEO, Guy Cramer, over the past 2
years based on lessons learned from the Ghostex system he developed
with ADS Inc. for U.S. Special Forces. Prior to Ghostex, orders of a particular color scheme in one pattern would require
10,000 yard print minimums. Ghostex changed the way special forces selected
camouflage allowing them to place orders for very short runs of a few yards with very
specific camouflage patterns.
Last year, Hyperstealth
brought in a large inventory of completed
Spec4ce uniforms, using the traditional ordering method (Large textile
printing factory and large production assembly factory to complete the
uniforms) in 17 color schemes for commercial orders.
When there is a large inventory and numerous color schemes to choose from,
things are good, however, when you begin to run low you must now consider
another large purchase of inventory and you also need to have that inventory
in a large accessible storage area. Between 15-20% of production ends up as "dead
stock" where sizes don't match, which is difficult to sell as different
sizes tops do not match the sizes in the bottoms.
With Deceptex, Hyperstealth now only needs to
have blank textile rolls and ink in stock, when the customer orders Pattern
"Alpha-5" in a medium size pants and large size jacket, Hyperstealth prints only
enough material of Pattern "Alpha-5" for a pair of pants and one jacket and
assembles the uniform to the size that was ordered. No longer do they need
to have any inventory of every pattern and every size.
What's the difference between Ghostex and Deceptex other than pattern
selection? Deceptex patterns will be available for purchase by the general
public. Ghostex patterns are only available to the U.S. Special Forces and
use inks that also camouflage in the NIR (Near Infrared - Night Vision)
spectrum. Deceptex uses non-Infrared inks (Deceptex patterns will not work
under night vision cameras, scopes or sensors).
Deceptex Victor-14 Prototype
Jacket.
Cramer has developed over 11,000 camouflage
patterns and plans to have at least a few hundred patterns available to
order under the Deceptex system. The photo to the right shows 80 different
master copies of Hyperstealth patterns run over just the past 5 weeks. The
company keeps a master color copy of every textile pattern printed for
reference.
Below are simulated Deceptex patterns which
will be available to order (more will be added as time permits). The style
of jacket is subject to change (it is used as a customer reference to color
and scale of pattern to choose from).
Hyperstealth expects to have this Deceptex
site open for orders this Summer (2012) - orders will also be produced at
that same time (No pre-orders). More information will be made
available on uniform styles and material at that time.
What material will
Deceptex initially be available in? We worked with a leading Canadian
Textile manufacturer who provided their top six recommended fabrics for
Deceptex. Our primarily concerns being durability, color retention and
comfort; we printed on each and washed them all to see which would hold
the colors the best after repeated launderings. Hyperstealth settled on
a light weight (6.50 oz./yd2, 70/30 Polyester/Cotton Twill with 15%-18%
woven-in stretch. This is material is also being used for uniforms being
used by Canadian tactical teams so we knew that it would work for
Deceptex.
