Brother Enters Wide-Format Latex Segment with Latest Launch
Bridgewater, New Jersey—Brother International Corporation will be entering the signage market with the all-new WF1-L640 64-inch latex wide-format printer.
FULL STORYA new video from Stahls’ TV, Sterling Heights, Mich., provides an introduction to soft, lightweight garments, their special properties and impact on the decorating process.
In the video, called “How to Heat Press Triblends & Other Heat Sensitive Blank Apparel,” Stahls’ TV educator Courtney Kubitza provides an introduction to tri-blends and other heat-sensitive fabrics. Viewers will learn how blends of cotton, rayon, viscose rayon and polyester are affected by heat and three principles that are key to successfully decorating them with transfers. Topics include choosing the correct transfer for the fabric; dealing with application-specific issues posed by garment design; and time, temperature and pressure considerations.
Viewers also will see first hand how to modify art, printing and application techniques for tri-blends, polyester/viscose rayon, rayon/spandex, new 100% “cotton-feel” poly blends and more, and get tips on helpful products and accessories.
The video also shows how to avoid common problems like scorch marks and “glossing” at seams, as well as how to achieve trendy special-effect finishes. Also, viewers will see how these solutions retain the garment’s soft hand and drape.
