Amaya Sales UK now distributes Coloreel
A
maya Sales UK became an offi cial distributor of the Coloreel instant thread colouring unit at the beginning of the year.
The Coloreel works in conjunction with Amaya’s Melco modular embroidery machines.
By adding Coloreel to its product portfolio, Amaya believes the unit will give its customers unique advantages over competitors; such as a reduction of thread stock because Coloreel only uses white thread, faster embroidery production of multi-colour designs due to no trims with a colour change,
and the ability to produce more elaborate pieces of artwork with the design freedom of print. The Coloreel is seen as a natural progression for on-demand businesses to offer embroidery as well as print. There is now no reason to say that a piece of artwork can only be printed – it can now be embroidered using Coloreel’s instant thread colouring technology.

Vastex’s EconoRed VI Series dryers cure up to 2,700 garments per hour
N
ew EconoRed Series VI conveyor dryers in 76, 137 and 198cm widths are equipped with six infrared heaters in a single chamber for high-volume curing of plastisols, water- based inks, discharge and DTF adhesives. Mark Vasilantone, president, said: “This addition to the EconoRed series offers greater power and high production speeds for screen printers and DTF printers, and the fl exibility to print on oversized garments or fl at goods.”
The ER-VI-30 dryer, with 15,600 watts of power and a 76cm wide belt, cures up to 900 garments/h printed with plastisol ink at 25 seconds dwell time, and up to 300 garments/h printed with water-based inks or discharge at 70 seconds dwell time. Model ER-VI-54, with 31,200 watts of power and a 137cm wide belt can accommodate two rows of garments, curing up to 1,800 garments/h printed with plastisol ink at 25 seconds dwell
time, and up to 600 garments/h printed with water-based inks or discharge at 70 seconds dwell time.
With 46,800 watts of power and a 198cm wide belt, Model ER-VI-78, can cure up to 2,700 plastisol-printed garments/h placed in three rows, and up to 900 garments/h printed with water-based inks or discharge. Each EconoRed VI dryer model can also cure DTF adhesives at correspondingly high rates.
The modular design permits users to readily add one or multiple, independently-controlled heating chambers and extend the conveyor belt, increasing capacity in direct proportion to each heating chamber added. Conveyor extensions can also be added to the infeed or discharge end of the dryer to optimise loading and cooling/unloading of garments. Closely spaced coils provide high-density, medium-wavelength infrared heat for maximum cure speed without cold spots or under-curing.

A focused exhaust system evacuates moisture and air contaminates from the heating chamber, and cools the enclosure’s outer skin and control panel. The 404cm long conveyor runs true by means of a low friction belt aligner patented by the company, with belt speed controls allowing infi nitely adjustable dwell times from one to fi ve minutes.
Early adopters of Coloreel in the UK include Snuggle and Printful. The unit is also distributed by AJS Embroidery Services.
Feather Flags Trade invests in new UV LED roll-to-roll printer from CMYUK
F
eatherfl
agstrade.co.uk has invested in a Canon Colorado 1630 UV LED printer from CMYUK.
It was purchased to enable quick turnaround of roller banners and popup stands. Set-up last year, the business guarantees 48-hour turnaround times for its feather fl ags, and next day delivery for all roller banner orders received by 11am. The Canon Colorado 1630 was purchased on the advice of several trade contacts who were familiar with the UV-gel printer, and very happy with its speed, reliability, and colour fi delity.
Josh Candy, director, Feather Flags Trade, said: “Everyone we spoke to who owned a Colorado said that they were amazing. When we fi nally went for a demonstration at CMYUK, it was in a different league to what we were used to – just fantastic.”
