The Magic Touch has teamed up with Resolute DTG on a new low-cost direct-to-film transfer printing system for garments.

The new system is the result of a six-month collaboration between the two companies.
It is roll-fed and combines a 60cm-wide PET film with pigment-based textile inks.
After printing in a Resolute R-Jet Pro direct-to-film printer, the film goes through a unit that lightly coats it with a “unique” hot melt adhesive powder. The resulting transfer is then cured using an inline ‘Shake & Bake’ unit or a traditional dryer.
