Roland Introduces Heat Transfer Material For Inkjet Printing

USSC Booth #511/531

Atlantic City, NJ. December 5, 2003 Roland DGA Corporation today introduced a new material that makes it easy to print and transfer inkjet graphics directly onto T-shirts, hats, jackets, gym bags and other apparel.

Heat Transfer Material is the latest addition to Roland's Piezo Certified Media lineup. The material has been carefully tested, profiled and certified to yield accurate and consistent print results with all Roland pigment, dye and solvent inks. This means that all Roland inkjets - including the new VersaCAMM and Pro II EX Series - can now print heat transfer graphics.

"Combined with Roland ink, Heat Transfer Material represents an easy and reliable solution for decorating a wide variety of cloth apparel," said Laura Wilson, Roland Product Manager. "Colors really pop on both light and dark colored cotton and cotton blends."

Roland designed Heat Transfer Material to be print and cut without reversing the image. Simply peel the print-cut graphic from the backer and lay it on the garment. Then, cover graphic with a Teflon® pad or silica sheet and transfer it with a heat press at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat Transfer Material, available in late December, costs about $1.50 per square foot. It has a list price of $154.95 for a 24"x50' roll and $264.95 for a 42"x50' roll.
