Hot air balloons
Look up! There's colour in the sky.
Cameron Balloons is the world's largest manufacturer of hot-air balloons. The firm manufactures a variety of hot-air balloons, airships and inflatables. They are perhaps best known though, for their special shape balloons and also the balloons they have been making for round-the-world record attempts. They made the Breitling Orbiter balloon that made aviation history by flying right round the world, finishing on 21 March 1999.

Ways of colouring the balloon fabric are explained on the following pages.
Ink jet printing
Ink jet printing
A series of jets spray onto electrically charged balloon fabric to
give the effect of the 'up-close Monet look', which when seen from ground
level appears as a clear network. This artwork technique is not available
on Hyperlast, Cameron's exclusive fabric, as the silicon-elastomer coating
is too slippery for the paint to stick.
