What is so unique about ChromaBlastâ„¢?
The key to the ChromaBlastâ„¢ Digital Color Imaging System is the chemical bonding between the ink and the coating on the transfer paper. Where the ink chemistry and the transfer paper coating chemistry touch, there is a crosslink reaction under heat and pressure that chemically bonds the image to the cotton. The crosslink creates a very strong and nearly permanent bond. Remove the paper and the image area is tattooed into the shirt itself. The overprint area from the transfer paper does physically transfer but has a very light feel that becomes nearly imperceptible after one wash. Contour or scissor cut around printed image to prevent background transfer.
The final result is a vibrant, colorful image on the t-shirt that looks, feels and breathes like nothing else on the market. Imagine the ability to print what you want, when you want it. Now imagine all of this from the digital desktop printing system that uses environmentally friendly inks and can be operated right in your office by your graphic designer or marketing staff.
