Some of the other papers, such as the Forever Flex Cut, a single- colour product that comes in neons, metallics and standard colours, can be used with a basic laser printer. Again, there‘s no weeding with these papers, allowing intricate designs to be done with ease. Also from Amaya is the Graphtec range of equipment, along with the full range of Sef garment films and vinyls; the company reports that the new Flexcut X4 has become a favourite with its customers for printing onto cotton and polyester. “It gives you very fast weeding, the tacky liner gives you very fine cutting and it‘s only a four-second transfer time,“ notes the company. Amaya continues: “Another popular product is Maxxflex, which is a high quality, multi-layered polyurethane film which is PVC-free and produced without solvents. It has excellent covering power, high elasticity and superb weeding characteristics.“ www.amayauk.com Amaya says there are Forever transfer papers for “virtually every purpose“ Xpres: Forever Flex Soft “With Forever Flex Soft, it‘s now possible to produce self-weeding transfers in white, metallic and fluorescent colours, without a special toner and without cutting and weeding,“ reports Xpres. “The time-consuming process of weeding has now been completely eliminated with this new, innovative material.“ Featuring a soft-touch matt finish and easy production process, Forever Flex Soft is perfect for quick, single garment production without compromising on quality.
