Opticolor Rub Off Transfer Products
OPTITRANS SYSTEM
Custom color dry rub-off transfers have many important functions in today’s graphics. From matte to high gloss effects, the ability to transfer images of any color and adhere cleanly to a multitude of surfaces is a vital component in many facets of design presentation.
Single color, solvent ink transfers introduced in the 1970’s evolved to multi-color registered composites in the 1980s. Today’s versions may include custom foil effects and the use of Spectratech water based inks capable of 4-color process with any spot color.
Transfers using images produced from a variety of ink jet plotters are also in use now. Ink Jet transfers can be combined with spot color additions and other special effects.
SEMI-GLOSS TRANSFER BASE
These sheets are specially formulated to be neutral to the chemistry used in the OPTITRANS System. This is important in that an unlimited number of ink coatings, developments, and sealer applications can be made without reducing the viability of the substrate. Complex and detailed images can be made similar to those possible in direct imaging methods. Multi-Color images can be done in register on the same sheet. Finished transfers have a smooth SemiGloss appearance. Finished transfers require the use of OPTITRANS/OPTIFOIL Adhesive. Available in 19" x 25" sheets and 25" x 38" sheets.
HIGH-GLOSS TRANSFER BASE
These sheets look and feel different than the Semi-Gloss, but they are used in the same way. The crystal clear finish produces a smoother, super glossy transfer in single or multiple colors. These sheets are also specially formulated to be neutral to the chemistry used in the OPTITRANS System. An unlimited number of ink coatings, developments, and sealer applications can be made without reducing the viability of this substrate. Finished transfers require the use of OPTITRANS/OPTIFOIL Adhesive or can be produced with an "image only"adhesive method.
