Self-Weeding 2-Paper-System for black, dark colored and light colored garments. For decorating with Hot Stamping Foils.
Laser-Dark (No-Cut) LowTemp is a 2-Paper heat transfer foil which lets you print amazing brilliant colors without cutting and weeding.
It is possible to use the popular White Toner product also with your regular CMYK, as long as stick to certain limitations. It is great for full tone colors, like solid reds, solid greens etc. As these colors have a high toner saturation. Colors below 100% toner saturation, such as, pastel tones, skin tones, sky blues, etc. cannot be printed. Take a look at the t-shirts designs above and get inspired by the possibilities of using your regular CMYK printer with our Laser-Dark (No-Cut) LowTemp transfer media.
Application Process
All you need to do is print your design on the Laser-Dark (No-Cut) LowTemp A-Foil, then press it together with the Laser-Dark (No-Cut) LowTemp B-Paper. Upon peeling, the white coating on the B-Paper LowTemp is transferred only to the toner on the A-Foil. Now, the design is completely weeded and ready for transferring.
The bright white coating of the B-Paper LowTemp improves the opacity and vibrancy of colors on dark fabrics and it also greatly enhances adhesion for better durability and washability.
As an additional benefit, the no-cut & no-weed means there is no unwanted background on the garment! Just the areas with toner are transferred. The result can be compared to screen printing – only faster, cheaper and more efficient!
Follow the Step below to create you No-Cut transfer:
- Print on the transparent A-Foil
- Press together with the B-Paper LowTemp
- Peel both sheets from each other while HOT
- Cut around the design
- Press onto your garment
- Re-press to increase the washability of the document
A-FOIL
This is the transfer media on which you print your image. It holds the toner extremely well, but does not leave any residues in the copier or any background on the garment.
No more guessing where the transfer is applied! The transparent foil gives precise placement on your garment. Now you can place transfer onto your textile.
The A-Foil layer can be used to create Metallic designs. We have 51 Hot Stamping Foils available.
After printing your image in a composite black, you should press your image to the t-shirt using light pressure, then, using high pressure, you then apply the Hot Stamping Foil to your image. Your design is now metalized.
B-PAPER LowTemp
The B-Paper LowTemp was developed specifically for the A-Foil. It is finely tuned to ensure optimal processing. The special coating of the B-Paper develops its adhesive power starting at 212°F (100°C), allowing a variety of different materials or surfaces to be transfer printed. This paper brings the additional opacity, which is needed for vibrant colors by transfer printing on dark garments. The white opaque coating on the sheet only sticks to the toner on the A-Foil, and performs so well that even the finest detailed designs can be handled.
