Abstract

Provided is a fixture assembly for printing image graphics on a slat set of a window blind. The slat set is comprised of a plurality of substantially identically configured slats. Each one of the slats has a slat length and a slat width. The fixture assembly comprises a horizontally extending panel having an upper panel surface with opposed panel ends and opposed panel sides respectively defining a panel length and a panel width. The fixture assembly further comprises a plurality of substantially identically configured elongate inserts mounted on the upper panel surface in parallel spaced relation to one another. Each one of the inserts is configured to receive and support one of the slats in a generally horizontal orientation. The inserts are spaced complementary to the slat width such that the slats are supported on the inserts in abutting contact with one another.
