Focus on Print & Embroidery Consumables There’s a new ink in town
Resolute
In Q3 2025, Resolute invested in a new high-tech ink lab in Derbyshire to manufacture Resolute Premium DTF inks here in the UK, giving print businesses fresher, more consistent products they can trust. Many imported DTF inks are re-labelled, inconsistent, and already months
old by the time they reach the UK. With some white inks offering only a six-month shelf life, freshness matters. Resolute Premium DTF Ink is made by Resolute at Resolute HQ using high-grade raw materials, sealed production, purifi ed air, and professional testing equipment. Every batch is lab-tested and print-tested before release on both high-volume and smaller DTF printers. The result is a clean, bright white ink designed for low sediment, high opacity, crisp detail, and reliable print head performance.
Resolute Premium DTF Ink
Customers can benefi t from up to 50% fewer head cleans, reducing waste and downtime, and stronger results across everyday production. The full Resolute Premium range include White, CMYK and RGBO colours, all manufactured with consistency and print head care in mind. Results speak for themselves: so far, no company that has tested Resolute Premium DTF White Ink has returned to its previous ink. Resolute also offers free waste ink disposal support, helping customers meet environmental responsibilities.

The Magic Transfer Company
MagiCut HTV range
A ‘no-risk’ choice For the past fi ve years, the arrival of the DTF transfer process has certainly taken the industry spotlight with its unique innovation and full colour transfer potential. However, DTF is not and never will be the total solution. The MagiCut HTV range includes such products as 123Flex, Flock, Block- Out, Puff, Refl ective, Metallic, Pearl Glitter, Glow-in-the-Dark, Holographic and Silicon Block, all of which continue to be an integral part of garment decoration as they remain a challenge to replicate using the DTF process. Potential decorators considering the garment decoration market are currently faced with a myriad of options, but the “no risk” choice would be in the HTV technology, as entry-level options remain very cost-effective. An example is the Graphtec Silhouette Cameo A3 plotter together with a professional heat press, making it ready to go. Experience over the years confi rms that up to 70% of all HTV transfers are printed as single colour in either black or white. The HTV process is simple; import the fi le into the supplied software, cut the design on the chosen HTV, weed the design, position it on the garment and apply using the heat press – simple! The advantage of HTV is indeed the simplicity, and the learning curve is very quick.
The only disadvantage of HTV is the weeding of any detailed and intricate designs, which can be time-consuming, and the restriction of not being able to easily produce multi-colour designs. However, the advantages are the reduced space requirements and fantastic durability. Plus, it is clean, with no inks or chemicals involved.
Along with the traditional workwear, performance garments, and sportswear products, there are also a host of promotional products such as bags, umbrellas, caps, beanies, footwear and more that have the potential to be decorated the same way using HTV products. The Magic Transfer Company has supplied and supported customers using its HTV product range for over 34 years and hosts regular training and ‘open house’ events for customers to attend at their offi ces in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.
