Focus on Transfer Printing
Transfers come in all manner of shapes and sizes. Whether they are screen printed, vinyls or films, there’s a product out there to add to every professional printer’s toolkit.

Additional light cyan and light magenta DTF inks are now available for the Mutoh/ STS VJ-628D printer
enhancements to the new desktop DTF (direct to fi lm) Mutoh/ STS VJ-628D printer. Announcing the release of additional light cyan and light magenta DTF inks for the 60cm PET fi lm roll fed, compact DTF desktop printer, manufactured by Mutoh in Japan. The new inks from STS with the existing CMYK and 2x white enables sharper and more vibrant photographic images, accurate colour management together with outstanding gradients and skin tones on garments. The new inks also eliminate half tones. STS, based in Florida, has manufactured inks for over 20 years and supplies DTF inks with superb elasticity and durability. The C, M, Y, K, LC, LM inks, together with the 2x white, are supplied in degassed bulk bags so no ink contamination is possible. All STS DTF inks have their Eco Passport and are Oeko-Tex certifi ed.
Another big advantage of the additional inks is the ability to produce full colour transfers for white and pastel garments without the need to apply the white ink. This unique feature dramatically increases the print speed and reducing what is already a very low cost per transfer.
Jim Nicol, managing director, said: “The response to DTF transfer printing over the last 18 months has been nothing other than incredible. The success has been driven by the print quality and range of products that are possible for decoration. We must ensure we offer the right solution for specifi c customer needs. This new desktop option matches the DNA of many of our customers looking to produce up to 300 A3 transfers per day.” The VJ-628D printer easily fi ts onto an offi ce desk and prints directly to the coated PET

fi lm. The printed image then has a powder adhesive applied manually and cured at up to 95°C for a minute using the unique desktop curing oven.
DTF transfers work equally well on any colour textiles and allows users to choose between a matt or gloss fi nish, whilst requiring no pre-treatment, no cutting or weeding, and creating crisp and defi ned edges and images.
The printer is powered by the DTFMagic RIP featuring the Digital Factory from CADlink to ensure fast processing speeds. The pre-production cost per transfer feature is very useful and other features include of the RIP include automatic nesting, spot colour matching, rasterisation, back ground removal and lots more.
