Video produced to mark David Luke’s 35th anniversary
D
avid Luke celebrated its 35th anniversary last year and produced a video which showed members of the team celebrating their collective experience. The whole team has over 400 yearsʼ experience, and so this film took short quotes from employees, saying how many years they have worked for David Luke, and also answering the question of why they enjoy working there.
As David Luke heads into its 36th year the team will continue to grow, concentrating on delivering innovative product and services into the schoolwear market. Also, as David Luke has done since 1982, the supplier will remain supportive of the independent schoolwear trade, committing its efforts to helping independent stockists and putting them first, particularly in the current unstable retail landscape.

David Burgess has been with the company since its inception MagnaColours launches UV reactive invisible ink M
agnaColours has launched MagnaPrint Invisible Ink – a UV reactive product, which when placed under UV light glows bright blue. The invisible ink was developed to meet the demand for a water-based UV reactive ink from screen printers. This will allow printers to produce garments with invisible designs or messages which will glow blue immediately once placed under UV light (black light), creating products with a unique effect. Invisible ink can be used as a top coat, or to print a design when mixed with a MagnaPrint Eco Pigment. Helen Parry, managing director of MagnaColours, said: “Increasingly,
The invisible ink in action
printers want to be able to add new and exciting features and elements to the garments they print, and so demand for
special effect inks are growing. We found that there was a demand for UV reactive inks among the screen printers that we work with and supply our products to, so once again weʼve led the way. “Itʼs an exciting time for water-based inks, and the development of our Invisible Ink is just another demonstration of how far water-based inks have progressed. Weʼve been making the impossible possible, with our unique range, so printers no longer have to rely on harmful chemical-based inks to achieve new and exciting effects. We have more similar exciting new colour change effects in the pipeline.”
