Behind the mask

Print Solutions: Positive About Print

The world now accepts the reality of wearing face masks and coverings will be part of our daily lives for the foreseeable future, and as expected the immediate demand for mask personalisation and design decoration has dramatically escalated over the past few weeks and will continue to do so for many years to come. Currently there appears to be a vast range of options, materials and styles together with various claims relating to specification and personal safety.

Without going into the science, it is agreed that having some form of face covering makes sense. We have witnessed during the lockdown a host of online videos and clips of many creative people making masks from socks, pants, bras and a host of other household items!

TheMagicTouch offers what is considered the best option for mask personalisation and short run production avoiding high minimum orders for the customer. Image transfer enables customers to have exactly what they want with the advantage of being able to evaluate a sample prior to final order.

Decoration options include TTC, T.One and Wow transfer papers suitable for either cotton, polyester and most fabrics regardless of colour or composition.

The transfer process is quick and very efficient when applied using either a cap or combo heat press. White 100% polyester masks can also be decorated using the sublimation transfer process.

Using the latest in Oki CMYK and CMYK+White toner printers with transfer paper offers a quick, safe and very economical method for production. Cost per transfer reduces dramatically utilising the multi-transfer features maximising the layout. The current entry level A4XL (CMYK) toner printer inclusive of RIP is available for £399.00 plus VAT and comes complete with three year warranty.

Regardless of what mask chosen, TheMagicTouch is available to assist with the best options.
