Available in one-litre pouches, this ink is compatible with most Epson SureColor sublimation printers for use on textiles and is equally suitable for prints onto hard substrates, such as large format ChromaLuxe panels. Xpres also offers Super Flex Evolution, its thinnest quick-press garment film measuring just 75 microns. The single-colour vinyl is available in 28 colours, including 15 new shades. “Each of them requires pressing for as little as five seconds at temperatures as low as 140°C,” says Xpres. Evolution Print is a printable vinyl and the company’s thinnest quick- press printable media. Measuring 75 microns with a vibrant white print face, it is compatible with both solvent and latex inks, and can be applied to almost all textiles, including nylon, from just five seconds, reports the company. Ultra Cut is a single-colour vinyl that is “excellent” for producing fine detail designs due to its sticky backing. It has hot-peel properties and is available in a wide range of colours including fluorescents, metallics and opaques in rolls of 1m, 5m and 25m length. Xpres SubliPrint Paper is a “premium European-made sublimation paper, available in a multitude of variants to suit every application”.
