SOFT COATING
(for light and dark cotton shirts)

Are you using laser dye-sublimation toner or ink jet dye-sublimation ink and looking longingly at the T-shirt color selections and pricing of 50/50 blend fabrics as well as 100% cotton?  Are you tired of paying $6 per shirt for a blank 100% polyester T-shirt?  Do you like the zero visual presence of dye-sublimation transfers over typical poly-resin coated transfer papers?  If so, you can now have all of the advantages with none of the expense using this brand new, radically different product.  Here are some of the advantages of Soft Coating:

  • Use dye-sublimation toner or inks to apply transfers to 100% cotton or 50/50 blend T-shirts

  • Use fabric colors you never thought were possible (gold, kelly green, California blue, Carolina blue, royal blue, red, orange, sports gray, dark lavender, violet, sandstone, azalea, plus many others) - For these darker colors, your artwork will need to be dark enough to be seen since the color source is not opaque

  • No visual presence (staining) outside of the print area of the shirt, no matter what the fabric color

  • Minimal feel (hand) on the shirt

  • Sublimation dyes yield bright colors that now will remain when washed

  • Crisp transfer detail that will not change over time. That means the sublimation dyes will not migrate before or after washing. Your lettering will remain crisp no matter what

  • Inexpensive per transfer (approximately 12 cents to 14 per transfer)

  • Can also be used with OEM toner for laser printers/copiers. One caveat though is we have noticed OEM toner transfers once pressed are not nearly as vibrant as those from sublimation toner

SOFT COATING was developed for applying opaque transfers on dark cotton fabrics using our white toner. One of distributors tried it on light colored 50/50 blend shirts and was overwhelmed with the performance of the product. We then took it a further step and tested it onto light colored 100% cotton shirts and were equally satisfied.

This coating can be applied in two different ways with equally good success. One involves spraying the coating onto the fabric using a HVLP sprayer and the other involves rolling the coating onto the printed transfer.

If using OEM toner from a color laser printer/copier, you simply print onto our release paper without the normal concerns about damaging the equipment when using coated transfer papers. This is a major advantage for those who can’t get transfer papers to work in their equipment. One caveat though is we have noticed that OEM toner pressed are not nearly as vibrant as those from sublimation toner.

We are so sure you will love this product, we are offering the following guarantee: we will accept return this product with full refund if you are not satisfied, no matter how much of the pint bottle you have used. That is how great this product is.
