Craft Focus - April/May 2020 (Issue 78)

64 THE MAGIC TOUCH TheMagicTouch continues to assist customers in reducing production cost and time when decorating garments. The company has introduced another innovative and affordable process that ticks all the boxes. The new T.Foil Dark transfer process offers the ability for the user to produce stunning results quickly and very cost effectively onto almost any garment regardless of colour or textile composition and involves no labour intensive cutting and weeding. The process involves printing the required design with a ‘composite’ black toner onto the T.Foil Dark transfer paper. The printed transfer paper is then applied to the garment using a traditional heat press. From a choice of more than 18 foil colour options the design is covered and pressed again resulting in foil only attaching to the toner area. The finished transfer has a final press to ensure outstanding feel, look and durability. The foils are available in rolls 30cm x 25m and include Metallic Silver, Gold, Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Pink, Rainbow, Navy Blue, Baby Blue, Olive, Rose Gold, Charcoal, Orange and Bronze. Plus Sparkle Effects in Gold, Silver and Bronze. The T.Foil Dark is available in either A4 or A3 sheets. sales@themagictouch.co.uk +44 (0)1582 671 444 themagictouch.co.uk STOCKWELL CERAMICS Beautiful ceramic buttons entirely handmade in Cornwall by Stockwell Ceramics.
