Dorotape UK Step up the speed with Poli-Tape
In an industry of everchanging trends and where deadlines are key, the time is now for garment decoration to step up the speed, and that’s exactly what’s happening. Supplying the range of digital print heat transfer vinyl from German manufacturer Poli-Tape, Dorotape continuously provides solutions to boost productivity, without compromising on quality.
Not a fan of weeding? Thanks to the Image Flex Clear, that chore is a thing of the past. Designed for white and light-coloured clothing, reverse printing on to this thin, transparent material means no transfer tape, and no need for intricate weeding of non-printed spaces.
For those looking for a great all-rounder, say hello to the Image Flex Turbo. With the ability to be heat pressed at temperatures as low as 130˚C, this soft white fi lm can be used on a variety of textiles such as cotton, polyester and even nylon. Not only is this fi lm versatile, but it also boasts speed. Designs can be pressed for as little as just three seconds, and they’re ready to go. Printing sportswear? There’s now a turbo for that too. The Image Flex Turbo Sub Block combines the speed and low temperatures of the standard Turbo, with the added bonus of a blockout layer to prevent colour migration of dyed polyester coming through the printed image.

Digital Squeegee
Screen Print World Setting new standards for hybrid printing
M&R’s DS-4000 Digital Squeegee is setting the standard for hybrid printing. At production rates of 400+ prints per hour the DS-4000 bridges the gap between direct to garment printing and screen printing.
Since the Digital Squeegee prints on top of a screen-printed under base a wide array of fabrics – including synthetic and performance blends – can now be printed digitally, opening the door to new market trends and cost-effective high-end digital textile imaging. Using a screen printed under base eliminates the need for time-consuming pre-treatment, and expensive digital white under base inks. M&R’s hybrid printing process reduces the time, labour, and cost required by digitally printing alone, making small and mid-size print runs cost effective. An eight-to-12-colour screen print would typically require hours to perform separations, process and expose screens, mix inks, and register the press.
The same screen print can be set up and printed on the Digital Squeegee in a fraction of the time with a minimal number of screens, greatly reducing art times that are normally associated with multi-colour screen print jobs. Hybrid prints can be embellished with specialty printing effects before or after the digital print, expanding creative possibilities by blending the best attributes of screen printing with the ease and detail of digital imaging.
With some creative planning, a common screen-printed white under base can be used with varying digital print data to produce completely different images in the same print run. Digital Squeegee inks can be cured in conventional gas dryers, such as the Sprint 3000, Sprint 3000 D, and Sprint 3000 DHZ.
