TheMagicTouch, a global pioneer of the digital image transfer process for the past 20 years, has announced the arrival of yet another significant milestone for the garment decoration and promotional gift industry.
The exclusive new OKI C711WT Colour-Plus White LED printer, with white toner added to the CMY colour process, delivers good opacity and therefore a very high ‘white’ factor for non-fabric hard surface applications such as folders, mugs, binders, leather and PU surface products, as well as garments and textiles.
In conjunction with the release of the new printer, TheMagicTouch has upgraded its award winning WoW7.2 transfer media to seamlessly fit the new white toner technology.
Now reduced to a simple two-step process, the new WoW7.5, in conjunction with the C711WT, becomes the perfect affordable, solution for all garment decoration, regardless of fabric colour or type, without any cutting or weeding involved.
With a minimum application temperature as low as 110°C/230°F, it overcomes the potential scorching mark of a heat press on the new popular ‘high tech’ performance fabrics and garments.
“We will deliver the printer with an added value beyond the factory standard,” says Jim Nicol, managing director of TheMagicTouch in the UK. “Using our unique print utility software SpaceControl with the C711WT enables the user to print ‘white-only’ with the click of a button.
“Most important, the SpaceControl software will allow total control over the white toner, ie where and how much is printed.”
The new white toner also extends a new lease of life to existing transfer papers, allowing the decoration of any colour materials, products and substrates.
Now CPM papers can decorate dark colour mugs, diaries, leather, PU products, phone and gadget covers, binders and various types of folders with ‘white’ as the extra colour included in the design.
New ‘white’ also extends to the tattoo paper for skin and nail decoration, as well as CL media stock for the production of stickers and decals with opaque full colour definition for the sign industry.
The C711WT with the SpaceControl print utility software will be available for delivery in October and priced at £1,995.
The printer is fully compatible with all MagicTouch transfer papers and traditional applications by simply unchecking the ‘print white’ box in SpaceControl or select ‘white off’ in the printer driver.
