About us

Where it all started

We are TheMagicTouch®

In 1989, with the arrival of the first Canon CLC color laser copier, Juergen Hagedorn invented the first patented image textile transfer for electrostatic dry toner copiers. Thus began TheMagicTouch. His invention was the start of today’s personalization, and with it, he managed to create a successful business built on personalized or short run full-color printing onto virtually any substrate. TheMagicTouch was launched worldwide through a network of resellers, in-house training, passionate guidance, and transfer of technical knowledge, making sure everyone is able to assist customers in their own languages and cultures.

The first patented transfer paper
