US Sublimation Launches JetTran HR Series of High Release Transfer Papers for Digital Dye Sublimation

Textile printers, custom sportswear apparel manufacturers and other wide-format digital dye sublimation professionals are raving about JetTranHR™, affordable priced high release coated transfer papers for digital dye sublimation that offer vibrant, sharp and saturated colors and images.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB)June 21, 2006 –- US Sublimation, a division of PrintVillage, announces a new brand of affordable high release coated transfer papers for wide-format digital dye sublimation called JetTranHR™. Designed to release the highest amount of ink received to the substrate, JetTran HR™ reduces ink consumption while dramatically improving image quality.

JetTran HR™ has a special coating that receives ink but prevents it from penetrating the paper’s inner layers and therefore facilitating the ink’s migration to the substrate during the sublimation process. With optimization of lowered ink usage, saturated and rich colors can be achieved resulting in dramatic cost savings and improved quality of the finished product. Available product weights include: JetTran HR™ 200 (75g/m2), JetTran HR™ 300 (100g/m2), JetTran HR™ 400 (130g/m2) and JetTran HR™ 500 (150g/m2). Various wide format widths and lengths are also available. Issues with cockling are reduced with the lighter paper and completely eliminated with the heavier version.

“We have tested JetTran HR™ with various digital dye sublimation inks currently available on the US market, including our LFP Series, and noticed dramatic improvements in image quality and color vibrancy with all of them”, says Nick Constable of US Sublimation. “Customers that received samples have noticed the same improvements.”

JetTran HR™ will replace JetCol paper as US Sublimation’s preferred paper for use in conjunction with US Sublimation’s LFP dye sublimation ink (formerly known as Rotech Digital USA®). Most Jetcol users will find it unnecessary to re-profile as JetTran HR™ has similar color and transfer characteristics.

Dye Sublimation has been used in the textile industry for years. It is a process by which an image is printed on specialized coated transfer paper using sublimation inks and then heat transferred to poly fabrics or a polymer coated material. The advent of digital printing has further expanded the use of the dye sublimation process especially for short run productions. Common products manufactured using this process are custom sport uniforms, flags, casino gaming tables, banners, snow boards, trade show booth graphics and custom designed ceramic and glass tiles.

“In our search for innovative products that improve quality while keeping customer costs under control, JetTran HR™ is the true winner”, says Michael Choo, CEO of PrintVillage, Inc.

US Sublimation is also adding baby-grand format TexprintXP Plus paper with a focus on printers with printing widths above 64" such as the Roland SJ-1000E & Mimaki JV4-180 . TexPrintXP Plus is a heavy weight paper designed to resist cockling during inkjet printing, dry quickly to the touch and rewind without wet-transfer. TexprintXp Plus rolls will be available in width of 87", 98" and 104" among others.

InkVillage Launches NanoCHROME™ Inkjet Ink with INFU6™

Digital Photography and Fine Art Giclee Print Professionals are raving about NanoChrome™, a newly patented archival ink producing outstanding printed images with the widest color gamut and the truest blacks suited for all media used for fine art and photographic digital printing.

Fort Lauderdale, Nov. 30^th , 2005 - InkVillage, a PrintVillage company, announces the release of a new Hybrid Resin Infused inkjet ink called NanoChrome™. For the first time in digital printing history, any media type including; Photographic, Fine Art and Cast Coated medias can be professionally printed using one ink source from a single Piezo inkjet printer of any size.

Because pure dye compounds are infused into superfine, non-clogging UV resistant resin particles, NanoChrome™ combines the best attributes of both dye based and pigment based inks all into a one, more powerful ink set. NanoChrome’s UV resistance is equivalent to the best pigmented ink sets without the typical dull “pigment look” on glossy photo paper. The result is a metamorism free image that remains glossy (including blacks) with no need for gloss optimizers. Owners of existing 4, 6 or 7 cartridge color inkjet printers can now reproduce glossy blacks and colors without upgrading to the new 8 color printers. As an added feature NanoChrome™ uses a patented new ink base that contains only trace amounts of glycol, therefore printed materials exit dry from the printer.

NanoChrome™ can produce prints of archival quality that are virtually identical to the original. Previous comparison tests have stunned professionals in the digital printing world. The proprietary Infu6™ Hybrid Resin Infusion Technology in NanoChrome™ achieves a color gamut unimaginable with any pigment ink (including Epson’s UltraChrome®) and wider than most dye based ink sets. The reduced need for color correction results in increased productivity for professionals and professional results even for the less experienced individual.

The difference in color quality of NanoChrome™ compared with OEM inks including UltraChrome® is obvious to the naked eye by simply comparing side by side images. A blind test was conducted with ten fine art reproduction professionals including two color specialists and an ink industry executive. Images were printed on the same media and printer model in exact conditions using the two different inks. 100% of the subjects chose the NanoChrome™ printed image as the superior print to UltraChrome®. Digital Photography professionals are also enthusiastic about the archival qualities of this revolutionary ink set.

NanoChrome™ Hybrid Resin Technology has met the strict challenges of fade resistance tests conducted by independent laboratories and industry specialists. Test results are available at www.inkvillage.com and conclude that fade resistance is comparable or better than major archival inks currently on the market while maintaining more vivid and dense colors.

NanoChrome™ ink features Infu6™, a breakthrough in ink technology that resulted from over 5 years of research culminated with a series of patents relating to inkjet technology for piezo print heads.
