Retroflec RTS

NEW! Retroflec HTS

A REFLECTIVE SILVER HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM

The Retroflec Heat Transfer System makes reflective heat transfers that appear metallic silver during the day and at night, the print will produce a very luminescent, "white glow" when light strikes it. This effect is so bright, that it appears to be "back lit". The Retroflec Heat Transfer System is great for night time safety where reflective highlights are required or simply for a fresh new special effect. This System consists of 2 components: Retroflec Heat Transfer Film and 844 Retroflec Printable Adhesive. 844 is screen printed on to the Heat Transfer Film and then semi cured. The final design is then applied to a garment or T-shirt using a heat transfer machine.

General Types of Transfers

Hot Split Transfers/Puff Transfers

Hot split transfers are the most popular heat transfers. After transferring they have a very soft hand and they resemble a soft screen print. The term Hot Split means that the release paper is peeled away hot. This will split the ink film leaving some on the transfer paper and the rest on the fabric.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Excalibur 900/950 Series; Puff transfers - Excalibur 875SS/850 & Soft Trans paper & Ultra Strip 2000.

Cold Peel Transfers

A cold peel transfer will deposit all of the ink onto the garment. These transfers usually has a rubbery feel. Cold peel transfers have great opacity and are commonly used with Superhold Powder sprinkled over the plastisol to achieve great adhesion to synthetic fabrics and caps. Can be used for foil transfers.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Excalibur 500/900 Series with Transfert 75 or
Litho Trans papers.

Glitter/High Gloss Transfers

These transfers are cold peel and are usually printed with glitter and/or metallic inks. Glitter trasfers have a very high gloss.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Excalibur 700 Series with Glitter Trans paper. Usually printed via Litho (996 Series inks) or 600SS Series inks, and is over printed with 555 Litho White and 700 Series Glitter.

Sublimation Transfers

Sublimation Transfers are made from sublimation dyes (inks) that will dye synthetic materials such as polyester, when you apply heat and pressure. During the transfer process the dye turns into a gas which bonds with the synthetic fabric. Sublimation transfers can be screen or litho printed.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Screen Sublimation Dye Ink & Soft Trans (ST88) paper, OR Litho Sublimation Dye Ink & Soft Trans (ST88) paper

Litho Plastisol Transfers

A cold peel transfer whereby the first colors are printed by litho (offset) then the design is overprinted by screen printing with a plastisol coating.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Excalibur 996 Series (Litho); Excalibur 555 Series Litho White; Excalibur 700 Series (for glitter). Transfer papers include Transfert 75; Litho Trans;

Flock Transfers

Flock transfers are a cold peel transfer which gives a beautiful velvet finish. The transfer paper is supplied pre-flocked. An adhesive is screened onto flock paper and a hot melt powder is then applied.

Recommended Ink and Paper:
Super flock paper, FT87 Adhesive. Also available: Aquabond® one step adhesive.

Transfer Paper

HST60 (formerly SoftTrans ST88)

HOT PEEL / HOT SPLIT

This paper has been designed to be used as a hot peel (hot split) heat transfer paper, when printed with hot split plastisol inks. It combines good dimensional stability and even spliting for hot peel inks. This special sizing also helps to increase the shelf life of the printed transfer, as it lessens migration of the plasticizer into the paper. Either side of the Soft Trans paper can be printed.

Transfert 75

IDEAL FOR MULTI-COLOR COLD PEEL TRANSFERS

For years T-75 has been the standard of the industry for heat transfer production. It combines dimensional stability with a smooth easy release. This paper was developed to be smoother and more stable than
parchment type paper. Transfert 75 is an ideal choice for multi-color jobs where registration and fine detail are important. However, it is not recommended for hot split plastisol transfers. It is a cold peel system only.

G-97

A high gloss release paper designed for glitter transfer. Can be litho and screen printed.

Ultra Strip 2000

A coated hot peel paper which allows you to obtain complete plastisol ink release at time of transfer, yet still maintain the hot peel look. Excellent opacity is obtained with white plastisol transfers.

NOTE: End user must determine suitability of any
product for the intended use prior to production.
