The Spot-On Colour Plastisol Ink collection offers a range of intermixable plastisol coloured inks suitable for both automatic and manual screen printing. Available in 1kg and 5kg tubs, the new plastisol inks are heavy metal- and phthalate-free, promising a soft feel, superb washing resistance and good elasticity once cured, said Screen Print World. “The Spot-On Colour range offers brilliant bright colours, and are easy to mix. The inks are super opaque and perfect for printing onto dark garments, as well as printing well onto all flash whites.” imagesmag.uk/Spot-On-Colour New R A Smart website focuses on digital printing Machinery and consumables supplier R A Smart has created a new website for its digital printing arm. Previously R A Smart Holdings and R A Smart CAD & Machinery shared a website promoting both their textile printing services and their supply of printing equipment. The new website, www.rasmartmachinery.co.uk , focuses on the company’s digital printing solutions and consumables, while www.rasmart.co.uk details the fabric printing and weaving services provided by R A Smart Holdings. As well as an online shop, the new site features the latest printers from Mimaki and HP, a full range of Sawgrass and Virtuoso printers and consumables, and finishing equipment from manufacturers such as Transmatic, Setema and Cibitex. “The new site is not only useful for browsing machinery — you now have quick and easy access to our in-house dedicated support team to help with any problems you may encounter with your equipment,” reported R A Smart. imagesmag.uk/RASmart-new- website MyWorkwear rebrands following new investment to meet five-year sales target Uniform and workwear specialist MyWorkwear has rebranded as part of its new investment programme to help achieve its aim of doubling sales within the next five years. The Telford-based company, which employs around 20 people, has invested £35,000 so far this year as well as investing in recruiting new staff, which it says will help it to expand its production capacity by around 40% and allow it to reach its five-year sales target. MyWorkwear has refreshed its branding with a new logo and relaunched its website as well as focusing on increased staffing, equipment, technology and marketing. The company said it has already invested substantially in machinery, with the purchase of a number of pieces of additional equipment, including a Tajima embroidery machine from AJS, and is also updating its computer and telephone systems. James Worthington, managing director of MyWorkwear, commented: “We recognise that we need to keep investing in our business in order to meet the challenges of today’s business world, even more so after the year we have all faced in 2020. “When my father founded the firm 44 years ago in the town, he started with a handful of colleagues producing coveralls for Halfords. Things have most definitely moved on since then, with us now offering over 6,000 different products, but we still continue to focus on the same quality and customer service. We hope this new investment will help to continue this expansion.” imagesmag.uk/MyWorkwear- investment R A Smart’s newwebsite focuses purely on digital printing solutions James Worthington, MD of MyWorkwear, outside its rebranded premises The Spot-On Colour Plastisol Ink is suitable for both automatic and manual screen printing
