PrintVillage, Inc. (http://www.ussublimation.com/) division, US Sublimation, introduce the Velotex (http://www.ussublimation.com/) printer allows for continuous unattended printing of textiles, eliminating the need for transfer and blotting papers or the need for separate post treatment of the fabric with a heat press or steamer. For dye sublimation manufacturers, this means a reduction in defects such as ghosting and various "waves" or "lines" caused by out-gassing of glycol or fabric shrinkage.
Both the Dye Sublimation LFP and Pigment DTX ink sets are manufactured to comply with Oeko-tex 100 standards for human ecological safety of textiles and have been tested for color
fastness based on ISO 105 standards.
Dye sublimation is a process by which typically an image is printed on transfer paper using sublimation inks, which are then infused to poly fabrics or a polymer coated material via heat
and pressure. Common products manufactured using this process are custom sport uniforms, flags, casino gaming tables, banners, snowboards, tradeshow booth graphics and custom designed
ceramic and glass tiles.
The Velotex DS 6400 is expected to retail around $89,000. For more information about US Sublimation or Velotex, visit http://www.ussublimation.com
