what do you need?

Printer

The sublimation transfer process

only works with selected inkjet

printers that use a piezo-print-

head technology. Over the

years this has been exclusive to

specific Epson printers, however the recent arrival

of the new Ricoh GX3300 and GX7000 printers

allows some choice and options for improved

production capabilities.

Sublimation Paper

Sublimation paper is designed to

absorb as much ink as possible to

ensure strong and vivid colours. Using

regular plain or inkjet paper will not

work with this process. The papers are

available in various standard sizes.

Sublimation Inks

TheMagicTouch supply original

ArTainium UV+ sublimation inks

from Sawgrass Technologies

which are used, tried and

tested by thousands of user’s

worldwide, delivering reliable and

cost effective printing. Sublimation inks are unlike

regular inks as they are dyes rather than inks.

Colour profiles are also available to ensure consistent

colour management. Inks can be supplied in bulk

ink format for the traditional Epson printers and in

cartridge format using the new generation SublijetR

Ink solution for the Ricoh models.

Heat Presses

To ensure safe and consistent

production of sublimation

items we recommend

using professional and reliable

equipment. All swing-head presses

which cover 90% of the applications are

supplied with a lifetime guarantee on the

heat platen itself. The presses need to

attain and maintain constant 190-200ºC temperature

with adjustable pressure settings. Other available

presses are for mug production and the decoration

of caps and hats. All presses supplied come with a

one year warranty.

Printable Sublimation Items

TheMagicTouch offer a range

of blank printable products.

Whilst the process is possible

on many items we suggest

that being focused on items

that are “easy to market” and

“profitable” ensures good

steady business growth and

strong repeat orders.

Please note:

All printables need either a

polyester coating on hard surfaces such as metal,

tiles, coasters etc or at least 50% polyester fibre

content with fabrics such as T-shirts, polo’s,

mousepads etc.

Software

Design and graphic software packages

such as Corel Draw and Adobe Photoshop

that support ICC colour profiles are perfect

for sublimation and are widely available.

Training & Support

TheMagicTouch offers weekly training in many

aspects of the image transfer business, these are

held at our training facility in Dunstable and are free

for existing clients to attend.

This year has also seen the introduction of on-

line support where issues and queries are solved

instantly “live” on your PC by our in-house technical

support team.
