Have a look at this site from the US. Due to released around spring next year. Watch the 3 videos and see what you think, not sublimation, no coatings or heat required.

Looks very impressive but isn't it a lot of messing around with the pre-spray....and after spray....and over spray! lol.

the first video shows a mistake. Why show it not working 100% to start with. The Other ones dont look exact enoguh to me. Too much risk of cock ups.

Lack of prices, and it's a bit odd the way they cut the video of the plate and hat printing so we can't quite see what's going on or how it works.

I'm also not entirely sure I'd want to be printing a hundred mugs with all that spraying, rolling, spraying going on.

Proprietary printer, proprietary paper, proprietary ink, and all the equipment - rollers, spray guns, vats, etc... This isn't going to be cheap. (I'm not sure if I'd want to be swapping one high-priced monopolistic supplier for another high-priced monopolistic supplier... :biggrin:)

Still, anything that allows us to print on uncoated items bodes well for the future. If this technology evolves and matures, and becomes affordable, it could be something to look at in 5+ years time.

Love the dipping! Is there not already another dipping process technology available?

Hello Jimbo,
We are also now a member here on this forum. I will hopefully be able to come online and explain more about our new process within the first few weeks of the New Year. Best wishes to everyone for the holidays, and have a healthy and prosperous New Year!!!

This is another utube video of a similar product. The website is in German but he utube video in English. Seems like a pretty expensive industrial process, would be nice to find one I can fit into my house!!

Thanks for the link,
prices are about $1500 for the complete kit with tank.
Supply Prices in US:
Prints $19.95 a yard any pattern.
Activator $39.95 per can.
Base Coat $39.95 per can.
Top Coat $39.95 per can.

Seems that you have to gravure print the design so you'll need a friendly litho printer to get the films printed. Film seems to come from China or Taiwan in bulk. I can already see the price spiraling upwards.
Looked at ottoblock in the UK who already use this process to cover sports orthotics but it doesn't say if they will supply films. In Germany wt-direct supply similar materials sprays at around €14 a can and films at €80.
All exciting stuff but as always just out of reach for us Brits.

David,
This other German YouTube and (http://www.ezdipkits.com/) is a completely different process. It is another much more costly dipping process using litho printing. This other dipping process is used for patterns mainly. Ours will be full digital using our special toners and activators. I'll keep everyone here advised, along with Justin, and hopefully get our dealers to sign up here on your forum.

The American Chopper parts was done with Kolorfusion, which just went into Bankruptcy.
