TEXTILE PRINTING, HEAT TRANSFER & SUBLIMATION
TheMagicTouch – T.Foil Dark
Foiling in Love Again!
As part of the on-going
crusade by TheMagicTouch
in the UK to assist
customers in reducing
production cost and time
when decorating garments,
the company introduce
another innovative and
affordable process that
will “tick all the boxes”
for garment decorators.
In the past the decoration of garments
with metallic and sparkle effect designs has
involved the traditional method of cutting
and weeding which becomes somewhat a
challenge when producing intricate designs
or short-run production orders quickly.
The new T.Foil Dark transfer process offers
the ability for the user to produce stunning
results quickly and very cost effectively onto
almost any garment regardless of colour
or textile composition and involves no time
consuming cutting and weeding
The first part of the process involves printing
the required design with a “composite” black
toner onto the T.Foil Dark transfer paper
using either an enhanced CMYK or CMY
plus white-toner based printer powered by
the bespoke SpaceControl RIP software.
The printed transfer paper is then applied to
the garment using a traditional heat press.
Then from a choice of over 18 stunning foil
colour options the design is covered and
heat pressed again resulting in foil only
attaching to the toner area. The finished
transfer has a final press to ensure
outstanding feel, look and durability.
The new T.Foil Dark is compatible with the
latest entry-level CMYK OKi printers (C612
& C332 models) which now have their own
version of the “SpaceControlBasic” RIP to
manage all the relevant transfer papers and
assist in colour management. The printers,
including the installed RIP are now available
for less than £300 making the whole
process affordable for all. In addition the
SpaceControlBasic RIP will be also be made
available to purchase separately for those
