Colours are said to stay vibrant after many washes. “Many apparel specialists are using SportsFilm for printed badges and logos on schoolwear and workwear projects,” reports the company. It is available in four widths: 50cm, 75cm, 100cm and 150cm. Target Transfers also highlights Stahls’ SuperTek Sublistop for digital printing on performance activewear. “Developed with the world’s first charcoal-based adhesive on the market, this adhesive effectively minimises sublimated dyes from bleeding through,” explains the company. It allows for a four-way stretch on hard-to-decorate materials, including spandex and nylon. www.targettransfers.com YES: QM8 Direct-to- Garment Printer YES has launched the new QM8 printer – a new breed of direct-to-garment printing machine that provides high- speed production, superior colour and cost-effective ink management. “YES partners one of the most renowned names in the digital printing markets – Impression Technology Group,” explains the company. “The printing machine manufacturer, which is responsible for the DTG Digital M-industrial series of direct-to-garment printing machines, and the Compress range of UV printers, has recently developed the QM8. “The new QM8 highly-affordable, print production station is capable of printing 340+ white T-shirts per hour, produces finer drop placement, and has a colour gamut exceeding any printer in the market – meaning that its countless features set it apart in the digital printing industry.” www.yesltd.co.uk R A Smart: Epson SureColor F9300 Dye Sublimation Printer In September last year, Epson announced its new flagship machine, the twin-headed Epson SC-F9300.
