Thermal Transfer Printing

As Thermal Transfer output dries instantaneously, it is easy to print different colours on top of each other. The DC3’ unique ColorMask feature applies this technique to print on coloured substrates. First a white layer is printed, followed by the full colour image on top. Through a derived technique, VisionPrint, the DC3 window graphics feature, produces vivid see-through-graphics on regular clear vinyl. The DC3 also offers a wide range of spot colours, including white and glossy metallic Gold and Silver. The DC3’s very sharp dots even make it possible to print characters smaller than one millimetre.
