QPS installs Roland RT-640 at Magic Textiles

Magic Textiles uncovers ‘exciting expansion opportunities' with Roland RT-640 from QPS.

Quality Print Services (QPS), a wide-format print specialist and the main UK distributor of Nazdar digital inkjet ink products, has installed a Roland RT-640 dye-sublimation transfer printer at Magic Textiles' custom-built facilities in Leek, Staffordshire.

The Roland RT-640 printer was installed by QPS in late January 2019 and will enable Magic Textiles to expand its services to include printed products made from man-made fabrics such as polyester. Ideal for businesses looking to get into sublimation printing, the Roland RT-640 has been designed to combine superb quality, productivity and value with ease-of-use.

Magic Textiles offers a full, bespoke textile printing service to a wide variety of customers ranging from major household brand names - including Rolls Royce, J Barbour & Sons, and Paul Smith - through to small, independent designers. Established in 2003, the company employs 23 people.

On the new purchase, Lee Casswell, Owner of Magic Textiles, comments: "Our new Roland printer has opened the door to some exciting expansion opportunities and enables us to offer printed polyester textiles alongside our existing range of cotton and cotton mix products.

"It really was a case of dipping our toes in the printed man-made fabrics market. Since installation, we've also had enquiries from existing customers interested in flags and banners for outdoor use - something we were unable to offer until now."

The new printer is running Nazdar NDT600 Series high quality, alternative inks which are also supplied by QPS. Designed for use on any printer platform using Epson print head technology, Nazdar NDT600 Series inks deliver an incredibly high print density, meaning customers such as Magic Textiles can expect strong, vibrant prints, with less ink required to achieve these results. Moreover, Nazdar inks are typically up to 30% cheaper than those offered by the original equipment manufacturer.
