Colour Gradients, Colour Diversity, and Effects – Impactful Digital Transfers

Colour gradients, colour diversity, and effects: Logotex Europe based in Waltrop/Germany – an exhibitor in the finishing section at the forthcoming PSI – swears by the new digital transfers from the manufacturer Supacolour from England and is the exclusive distribution partner for the German market. Managing director Stefan Gradwohl is convinced by the true colour reproduction, wash resistance, adhesion to the textile and long durability: “There is no comparable quality in terms of transfers in Germany.”

Supacolour transfers are available in a large variety of models for different applications. As Stefan Gradwohl explains, the transfers are ideal for workwear and sports clothing, for industrial laundry, promotional textiles, nylon, polyester and various other purposes. Depending on requirements, flame-retardant models are obtainable. The transfer’s flame resistance or non-flammability can certified by means of testing at the Hohenstein institutes or at the Fraunhofer institute.

Among other technologies, English company Supacolour produces the transfers on digital printing machines by the manufacturer HP. “Photo-realistic designs, colour gradients, up to twenty-eight different metallic effects and even Pantone colours can be realised,” reports Stefan Gradwohl. In order to achieve optimal adhesion to the textiles, there are various special glues according to requirements and customer wishes. In order to paste over seams on caps, Supacolour has developed a special glue that impeccably pastes over the seam. Gradwohl continues: “For especially stretchy and sensitive textiles, low-temperature glue is available. All transfers are so-called hotpeel transfers and can be peeled off hot directly after pressing. This saves time when producing the transfer print. The company supplies the transfers from just one ordered piece within only three working days.”

Logotex Europe will be presenting its transfer products at the two trade fairs PSI (7 to 9 January 2025, Messe Düsseldorf, Hall 11, Stand 11B07) and TecStyle Visions (13 to 15 February 2025, Messe Stuttgart, Hall 6, Stand 6D13).
