INNOVATION, AND MORE INNOVATION

TheMagicTouch® in the UK under their DTFMagic® brand, confirm some very significant enhancements to their new desktop DTF (Direct to Film) Mutoh/STS VJ-628D printer.

Announcing the release of additional Light Cyan and Light Magenta DTF Inks for their 60cm PET film roll fed, compact DTF desktop printer, manufactured by Mutoh in Japan. The new inks from STS with the existing CMYK and 2 x 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, have manufactured inks for over 20 years and supply DTF inks with superb elasticity and durability. The C, M, Y, K, LC, LM inks, together with the 2 x 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 certified. 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 commented “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 specific 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 fits onto an office desk and prints directly to the coated PET film. 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 finish, whilst requiring no pre-treatment, no cutting or weeding, and creating crisp and defined edges and images. The printer is powered by the DTFMagic Rip featuring the Digital Factory from CADlink to ensure fast processing speeds. The preproduction “cost per transfer” feature is very useful and other features include of the RIP include automatic nesting, spot colour matching, rasterization, back ground removal and lots more. The various DTF solutions can be demonstrated via Zoom or in person at the Dunstable showroom. Printed samples and transfers are also available for evaluation. All pricing is inclusive of delivery, installation and training combined with a one year warranty. For further details please contact sales@ themagictouch.co.uk or call 01582 671444
