Overview
DTF has rapidly gained popularity in digital imaging, but many have requested a way of combining DTF-type output and sublimation. InkJetBiz (IJB) has the answer with the introduction of its new Hybrid System (All-in-One DTF and Dye Sublimation).
The IJB Hybrid Lite system utilizes a hybrid ink to print on film for a process similar to DTF, and also prints on dye sub paper for traditional dye sublimation output, and the results are impressively stunning! This new system is brilliant, as users get two capabilities in one: IJB Hybrid images to virtually all fabrics along with traditional sublimation, including all hard goods. The best part of this system is that only one ink is required for both processes, and it is simple to change dye sublimation paper to film.
The new IJB Hybrid Lite system includes all the printing components needed to facilitate the process. However, you will need a method of applying and curing the powder for the Hybrid DTF process, along with heat presses for sublimation.
IJB Hybrid Lite System Components
Here is a list of the components included in IJB’s Hybrid Lite printing process:
- Printer: 44” CMYK Mutoh RJ-900X Printer
- Ink: IJB Hybrid Ink (220ml Cartridges)
- Film: IJB Transfer Film (24” x 66’ Roll)
- Powder: IJB Powder (.5 KG)
- Software: GO ColorMate DS RIP (PC or MAC) and GO Pro Create Software
- Transfer Paper: SubliMate Dye Sub Paper (44” x 328’ Roll)
- Training, Support and Warranty
The integration of these components within the IJB Hybrid Lite system showcases the company's commitment to delivering outstanding results with images that exhibit superior performance characteristics compared to other image transfer technologies. With IJB's exceptional support and training resources, customers can confidently explore the full potential of the Hybrid system and achieve remarkable outcomes in their vinyl image transfers. Below is a more comprehensive description of the components of the IJB Hybrid Lite System:
Mutoh RJ-900X Printer: In the market for over a decade, the Mutoh RJ-900X is known throughout the industry for its reliability, ease of use and serves as the central component of the system. It is a 44-inch large-format CMYK printer with high-resolution capabilities and fast printing speeds.
IJB Hybrid Inks: The system includes specially formulated hybrid inks that are designed to work seamlessly with the Mutoh RJ-900X printer for both the DTF and traditional dye sub applications.
RIP Software: GO ColorMate RIP is available for both PC and Mac platforms and is used to drive the Hybrid system. ColorMate utilizes a simple interface with underlying professional features such as an advanced color engine, enhanced workflow and printing process with software tools not found in other software. In addition to ColorMate, GO’s cloud-based GO Pro Create software features enhanced design capabilities that work wonderfully well with the IJB Hybrid system.
IJB Film: IJB’s Film was developed specifically for use with the IJB Hybrid system. This combination of ink and film provides incredibly detailed images down to 5% coverage. Additionally, no ink is wasted with 100% released from the film to the substrate with little dot gain for sharp and dense images.
IJB Powder: IJB powder was developed specifically for use with the Hybrid system. The powder has a unique capability of enhancing the adhesion of the Hybrid ink to whatever fabric is being imaged.
Transfer Paper: Dye sublimation transfer paper is an important element of the system. It is used to transfer the printed image from the paper onto the fabric. The transfer paper holds the sublimation ink during the printing process and releases it during the heat transfer stage.
Training, Support and Warranty: As with all of the products being offered by IJB, training, support and warranty are included with each DTF system.
Target Markets
IJB Hybrid Lite printing is a versatile printing technique that can be used on a wide variety of products, making it a good fit for a variety of target markets. Not only is the Hybrid great for transferring to any fabrics, but hard surface transfers are also available due to its sublimation capabilities. Some of the most common target markets for the Hybrid printing include:
Fashion and Apparel Brands: IJB Hybrid Lite printing is a great way to create custom apparel for branding. Logos, designs, or even photos on t-shirts, hoodies, hats and other garments can be easily imaged.
Promotional Products: Although hard surface DTF imaging has not been adequately developed, sublimation is widely used to create personalized promotional items like mugs, keychains, mouse pads, coasters, and other gift items. It offers the ability to produce full-color and photo-realistic prints on these products.
Home Decor: Both DTF Hybrid and sublimation can be used to create customized home decor items such as throw pillows, blankets, wall art, and tablecloths. It allows for intricate and vibrant designs on fabric materials.
