Roland DGA Corp. (Irvine, CA) has expanded its R-Wear line of custom apparel solutions with HeatSoft, which combines new ESM-HTM2 heat-transfer media with PGM-PTM polyester-transfer mask to deliver vibrant color, fine details and superior bonding with cotton and cotton-blend garments. The cost-effective HTM solution has been developed specifically for Roland’s ECO-SOL MAX ink and is supported by Roland VersaCAMM, VersaArt and SOLJET eco-solvent inkjets.
The 1.7-mil, inkjet-coated, synthetic, fabric-transfer material is suitable for high-resolution, full-color printing with excellent opacity and white-point characteristics. The media can be printed, cut and then transferred to light or dark cotton and cotton-blend garments. The new material is designed to conform to complex areas of a garment without altering the garment’s original fit.
The HeatSoft solution also includes a 3-mil polyester transfer mask with specially formulated, heat-resistant adhesive. The product, which has low to medium tack, is designed to lift the graphic from its liner without removing the ink from the printed surface. Rigid construction allows the new transfer mask to handle large graphics without any distortion. PGM-PTM transfer film releases with ease for a finished printed and cut appliqué that remains dimensionally intact once the transfer process is completed.
