Game changer for garment printing
The MagicTouch (TMT) describes its T.One transfer paper
as a game changer for the image transfer garment
decoration industry. The ‘One-Step’ coated paper for use
with TMT/OKI white-toner printers enables users to print
full-colour (including white) designs for any pastel, white
or non-dark garment/textile, including cotton, polyester,
denim, soft-shell, polypongee and most performance
fabrics. For metallic effects, TMT provides foils that
can be applied directly to printed T.One transfers. T.One
complements the existing ‘Two-Step’ WoW transfer
process for black and dark colour garments/textiles,
which require a higher white opacity.

Carbon-free
printing
Elephant Print and Display is
now offering Climate Neutral
Printing in association with
German-based climate
consultancy ClimatePartner.
The East Sussex-based digital
print company calculates
the CO2 greenhouse gas
emissions of each print job,
which the customer can offset
by making a contribution
(typically 1%-2% of the print
cost) to an internationally
recognised carbon offset
project. The one chosen by
Elephant Print and Display is
The Kasigau Wildlife Korridor
in Kenya.
With the launch of e-BRIDGE CloudConnect
(ECC), users of Toshiba TEC MFPs can look forward to greater device uptime and a reduced
management burden. The secure, cloud-based solution provides device status alerts, remote
diagnostics, remote health checks, automated meter readings and Just in Time supplies
replenishment. ECC can be configured for any Toshiba e-BRIDGE X or e-BRIDGE Next MFP and there
is no need to install software on servers or computers.
A3 home photo printer
Epson has added an A3 model to its Expression
Premium range of all-in-ones for printing photos and
two-sided documents. Joining the updated XP-640 and
XP-645, the XP-900 offers A3 printing (but A4 scan
and copy) in a footprint similar to that of an A4 device.
With five individually replaceable Claria Premium
Inks producing deep blacks and rich colours, the
Expression Premium range enables users to produce
better-than-lab-quality photographs at home and on
demand.
The wireless printers offer Wi-Fi Direct and a choice
of apps for printing from/scanning to a smartphone
or tablet in the home or remotely using Epson Email
Print.
Built for SMEs
New from DSales (UK) Ltd,
the ineo 226 A3 mono MFP
is designed to meet the
document needs of SME
businesses and small to
medium-sized workgroups. It
prints/copies at 22ppm (A4)
and 8ppm (A3) and can be
equipped with up to five paper
trays and a multi-bypass tray,
providing a maximum paper
capacity of 1,350 sheets.
Useful features include a PIN-
based secure print function
and TWAIN colour scanning,
including scan-to-USB.
Options include the ability
to send scans to a variety
of network destinations, for
example e-mail addresses
or an FTP server; and a
duplex document feeder that
provides automatic double-
sided scanning of documents
at speeds of up to 46 images
per minute.
It’s a wrap!
Carisma, a New York-based large
format print business, made the most
of Massivit’s attention-grabbing 3D
output in the run-up to the launch of
Sony Pictures’ supernatural comedy
Ghostbusters. To promote the film, it
created 10 eye-catching, 14-foot bus
wraps 3D-printed with the iconic ‘No
Ghost’ logo. The wraps were printed
in robust Dimengel material over a
10-day period before being fixed as
illuminated 3D printed wraps to a
fleet of double-decker buses.
