A window treatment (cincishade or redishade) is provided with a representation of a digitized image. The preferred embodiment comprises a means for converting an image to a digitized image (i.e. scanning or other methods known in the art); and a means for transferring (i.e. printing, “stamping”, spraying, etc.) digitized image onto above stated window treatment or variations thereof.

1 . A window treatment or covering comprised of a Cincishade (Redishade) to which art has been applied to present an image on the outer surface by using a wide format printer and methodology as described in detail in Provisional patent application No. 09/677,607. 
 a. The window covering in  claim 1 , with art printed onto the viewing surface prior to the pleating process currently used in the Cincishade production.    b. The window covering in  claim 1 , manufactured and sold without pleats, with a smooth surface.    c. The window covering in  claim 1 , whereas the art is printed on the entire surface of the shade.    d. The window covering in  claim 1 , whereas the art consumes only a portion of the surface of the Cincishade with a boarder surrounding the art to aid in the ease of trimming the product to fit smaller window sizes.    e. The window covering in  claim 1 , in which 2-3 of the art applied temporary window coverings can be joined together vertically or horizontally to produce one complete image.    f. The window covering in  claim 1 , comprising of slight variations in texture, style and construction materials that may be made available by the same or different manufacturers in the future.    
   
   
       2 . A window treatment or covering comprised of art applied to a Cincishade by different transfer techniques known in the art.  
   
   
       3 . A window treatment to which art has been applied by methodology discussed in non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 09/677,607; onto a cellular shade.
