The materials are stocked as an added convenience to customers and all are normally available for next day delivery.

Andrea Charteris, PenCarrie's customer services manager, comments: "We're pleased to supply transfer print materials as an additional benefit to our customers. It means garments and transfer print stocks can be ordered and delivered together, saving customers admin time and costs."

The EZtrans range of transfer supplies is produced using eco-friendly methods: the manufacturers (Neenah Papers Inc) grow and process their own sustainable forests on the edge of Lake Michigan. PenCarrie stocks four of the inkjet papers available and three of the laserjet papers. All come in both A3 and A4 formats. Between them, a wide range of fabric types is catered for, from open weave and tight knit jersey fabrics through to denim and canvas materials.

EZ101 Jet Pro Soft Stretch Inkjet Paper and EZ102 Jet Opaque Inkjet Paper are the staples of the range and can be used on any fabric, light or dark. EZ102 is also suitable for cutting via any plotter CAD cutting machine to produce high quality close cropped images. A third option, EZ103 Super Soft Inkjet Paper, is hot peel, has fast adhesion properties and leaves little residue, all of which makes it ideal for larger jobs where speed is of the essence. Finally, EZ104 is suitable for open weave materials (such as pique knits) and can be used with a household iron, making it the perfect choice for smaller outlets where space is the critical factor.

EZtrans LaserJet papers also cater for all requirements. The papers are suitable for use with a broad choice of printers and copiers, the manufacturers having carried out tests on more than 200 models from the most budget efficient to the most expensive.

The six TheMagicTouch transfer papers available from PenCarrie also cater for a wide range of needs. Four of the transfer papers are for application on to white or pastel coloured fabrics. A coated formula gives a soft feel and durability to the finished design and allows for washing up to 60°C in a domestic machine. Two further options from TheMagicTouch enable the transfer of full colour images  on to dark garments or fabrics.

Xpres products are also easy to use and the results are highly effective. X3008 Xpres Easy Cut can be stretched without tearing or losing form and is strongly recommended for workwear because it can be washed at high temperatures (up to 90°C), tumble dried and ironed (or indeed, dry cleaned). X3017 Xpres Nylo Flex is for application to 100% nylon products including jackets, bags and umbrellas; while X3016 Xpres Super Flex produces a smooth matt finish on cotton, polyester and poly/cotton and is suitable for detailed logos and for designs where colours overlap.
