Let’s talk about the basics.
Let’s talk about the basics.
CMYK Transfer Solutions are often overlooked because people are unaware of how easily and quickly you can print on textiles and blank products. However, did you know that you can print in full color and use transfer papers, such as TheMagicTouch OBM 5.4, which already includes white in the paper? This means you don’t need a white toner printer. Exactly, there are many ways to personalize textiles and blank products with CMYK transfer solutions.
Using a standard color laser or LED printer, transfer paper, and a heat press, you can immediately start transferring full-color images, photos, texts, logos, or cliparts onto textiles and blank products. This allows you to fully personalize promotional items or products completely in-house. By using a laser printer and our professional TheMagicTouch transfer papers, we ensure high-quality results. You can now print everything you normally print on paper onto various types of fabrics such as cotton, polyester, silk, canvas, acrylic or print on aluminum, glass, ceramics, wood, candles, skin, nails, book covers, cardboard, sheet materials, and more.
A CMYK color printer uses four toner colors—Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black to create a wide range of colors by mixing these four basic colors. The background of the product to be printed must be white to achieve a high-quality print. For dark textiles, you can use transfer paper such as TheMagicTouch OBM, where white is already incorporated into the transfer. This is often used for photos or designs that can be easily cut out.
A white toner printer, on the other hand, includes white toner in addition to the standard CMYK toners. This allows it to print white color, which is particularly useful for printing on dark or transparent media where the white color is needed as a base or highlight.

To use our transfer paper, you’ll need a few essential items. Firstly, you’ll require a color laser or LED printer to transfer your designs onto the transfer paper. Next, you’ll need the transfer paper itself and a heat press. This device applies heat and pressure to effectively transfer the design onto the desired surface. The heat press ensures even heat distribution and pressure, crucial for a successful transfer. Finally, don’t forget to prepare the textile or blank product, ensuring it is flat and can withstand the heat from the heat press. Decals and tattoos do not require a heat press.
