Every
day more people write FLAAR to ask what textile printing
system do we recommend. As a result we are expanding
our coverage of Mimaki,
Stork, ColorSpan
and other companies which offer printers which can print
on textiles, either directly or via dye sublimation.
Color
Wings is a company in The Netherlands. Color Wings uses
Encad
printheads for their Texjet 152. But this is not a relabeled
Encad printer. The entire printer is designed from the ground
up to handle dye sublimation inks and uncoated textiles.
Color Wings also sells the Sublifix 200 which heat sublimates
the ink from the transfer paper into the fibers of the textiles.
Or you can select the Peko 1030 heat press. The advantage
of the flat heat press is that you can dye sub transfer
onto ceramic tiles (mosaics) and sheet metal.
You
can request or purchase one of the FLAAR
reports on textile printers to get the descriptions
of all the other brands of printers which are appropriate
for printing on textiles such as ColorSpan, Stork, Mimaki,
and others.
