F. SPECIALTY SUPPLIES AND APPLICATIONS
Fabric Transfers
To make fabric transfers such as T-shirts, aprons, banners, sweatshirts, mouse pads,
caps and more, unique fabric transfer ribbon and paper can be used. These
materials allow you to create permanent, machine washable fabric transfers in full
CMYK process color. For best results, a commercial-grade heat press is highly
recommended for transferring printed images.
NOTE:
The fabric transfer paper for the digital press has RED LINES on the reverse side. This red-
lined fabric transfer paper is the only type of transfer paper compatible with the digital press
and is not compatible with any other printers. When printing with these supplies, keep in
mind that the maximum printable width is reduced to the center 9.2Ó (234mm) of the
media. This helps keep the unitÕs rollers clean and free of any waxy build-up.
Photo Coffee Mug Transfers
To make photo coffee mug transfers, simply print with the standard #200-Series
dye-sublimation ribbon and a special non-adhesive dye-sublimation receiver paper.
Photos, graphics, logos and much more can be easily transferred to specially-
treated mugs. Transferred images are permanent and dishwasher-safe. For best
results, the manufacturerÕs special FotoMUG! Transfer Kit or a commercial-grade
mug press is highly recommended for transferring printed images.
NOTE: When printing images that will be transferred to a mug, the overlay of the #200-Series dye-
sublimation ribbon must not be applied. See Section 6-D for information on the printer
driverÕs Disable Overlay option.
Prepress Proofs
To make photo-quality, full CMYK process color prepress proofs, a 4-color dye-
sublimation ribbon and non-adhesive backed paper are available. These materials
are perfect for printing economical customer proofs of label or decal designs Ñ
even if you intend to produce the labels on a flexo press or screen printing
equipment. Using the same dye-sublimation print method as the #200-Series
supplies, these materials print continuous-tone, photo-quality, color-accurate
images with absolutely no dithering. And since the print method is dye-
sublimation, they can also be used to make photo mug transfers. Please note that
since no clear overlay panel is provided, the overall print longevity of these
materials is substantially less than that of the #200-Series supplies.
Wax Thermal Process Color Paper Labels
To make fast, full CMYK process color labels and decals on plain paper stock, a 4-
color wax thermal ribbon is available. When used with the #100-Series plain paper
label stock, this ribbon produces the most economical full-color output possible.
