OKI Europe has launched the Pro9541WT, a five colour digital toner transfer printer designed for screen and textile printing applications.

Using a heat transfer process the printer can produce customised designs at print runs as short as one, at a resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi and at sizes up to 329mm x 483mm.

The Pro9541WT can deliver CMYK plus white onto textiles that include cotton, canvas nylon, polyester, leather and felt. Its transfer media technology also makes it possible to reproduce designs on hard surfaces including ceramics, acrylic, glass, metal, enamel and wood.

‘Reliable and affordable, in a competitive market for customised garment and merchandise printing, the Pro9541WT offers unbeatable flexibility for professional print businesses of all sizes,’ said Shu Watanabe, OKI Europe’s vice president of industry print.

‘Specifically designed for flexibility and ease-of-use, the Pro9541WT’s combination of industry-leading digital LED technology, CMYK+White toner printing capability and cutting-edge transfer media printing make it possible for users to personalise almost anything from T-shirts and garments to ceramics, plastics and metal – delivering more choice for customers and opening-up new potential revenue streams for print businesses.’

EXOstencil Screen Prep Paper from heat transfer paper manufacturer Neenah Performance Materials has been approved for use with the printer.
