The DIGITRAN-Process for digital heat transfer printing
Where digital printing meets heat transfer decoration
The DIGITRAN digital heat transfer process represents a unique combination of digital printing and heat transfer technology. The result: A process that allows for eco-friendly, high resolution prints to be applied on a wide range of products and materials - at any quantity.

Digital Heat Transfer Printing
The DIGITRAN digital heat transfer process starts with electrophotographic printing of photo-realistic images on a carrier material. Therefore, the carrier is refined by a special technology. Once printed the heat transfers get slit and wound up resulting in some handy rolls. These will be send to our customers who will then place the rolls in a heat transfer machine and simply apply the heat transfers to their products.
The digitally printed heat transfers are produced with a four color process (CMYK) and an opaque white as the fifth color. With those five colors a photo-realistic print with a resolution of 1200 dpi can be achieved. In regards to the printing width anything from a small dot to 320 mm can be realized, yet the printing length has close to no limits. Therefore printing an endless repeat of personalized, serialized or in any other way varying prints is possible. To ensure that the colors we print match the colors that are expected we developed our own workflow leading to a reliable color reproduction.
Application of Digital Heat Transfers
For the application aka transfer process the digital heat transfers will be position according to the shape of your product. This can be done manually or with any eye-mark registered by the heat transfer machine. Next, a heated silicone roller or plate pushes the print against the product. Due to the heat and pressure the print bonds with the product. During this process the carrier material releases from the print and will be wound up to be recycled later. Due to our range of different adhesive technologies the digital heat transfers can be printed to adhere to almost any material.
Right now the process is in use for the decoration of tubes, cosmetic packaging, yardsticks, promotional products and many more.
