range of garments from cotton, polyester, poly/cotton, nylon, silk to technical fabrics etc.
The C-Print Hi-5 film is used on fabrics that require a low- temperature application and only five seconds of pressing time which helps to avoid unnecessary scorch marks. There are many other products Grafityp offers such as C-Print Ink-Block PU LT which prevents the dyes bleeding through from sublimated garments. C-Print PU+ film is Grafitypʼs most popular product which has incredible stretch and rebound properties, which is available in satin and matt finishes. C-Print PU Extra is a superb choice for difficult fabrics such as nylon as the glue sits on the surface to create a strong bond. All the above materials benefit from fast-drying properties which means shorter waiting times for application on to garments. Working with Siser products will help to make all your decoration jobs and personalisation projects the very best they can be.

Xpres has introduced two sublimation cushion covers, both of which are constructed from 100% polyester with varied finishes. The XP5206 Linen Effect Cushion Cover is perfect for creating classy, rustic designs whereas the XP5207 Canvas Effect Cushion Cover is better- suited to more contemporary designs. Each serves as a perfect backdrop for placement prints. Xpres has observed that roll-to-roll fabric printing is emerging as a rapidly growing market. This set-up utilises existing large format sublimation printers and requires an additional calendar unit (rotary heat press) for continuous printing onto textiles.
XP5206 Linen Effect Cushion Cover
Xpres has been aware of this upward trend for a number of years and as such had begun selling a variety of calendar units as well as a wide range of polyester based fabrics. This combination of hardware and textiles enables roll-to-roll print production for a variety of applications such as cycle jerseys, scarves, cushions, curtains, blinds and upholstery.
Xpres product manager Grant Cooke feels that printing for bespoke application is going to explode. Grant suggests that ChromaLuxe sheetstock empowers sublimation printers to develop niche markets that will literally give them a cutting edge.
As part of his continuous research, Grant states that: “An increasing number of sublimation printers have realised the opportunity presented by routers (digital cutters) to shape ChromaLuxe sheetstock into a number of bespoke shapes from doors, quirky table-tops, kitchen worktops and cupboard doors, hexagonal coasters and loads more!” Sheetstock is available from Xpres in a variety of finishes including MDF, hardboard, aluminium and plastic for a range of indoor and outdoor applications and is available as big as 1200x240mm.
