Condé Systems of Mobile, AL, has begun offering an enhanced formulation of the popular Reveal-S™ Sublimation Transfer Media. Reveal-S, a self-weeding sublimation transfer film from Vivid Chemical that allows sublimators to decorate light-colored cotton or blended fabrics, has recently undergone several key improvements to its quality and usability including: 1) A more opaque sheet corrects misprint issues caused by stronger-than-usual optical paper sensors within Ricoh and Sawgrass gel ink printers;
2) Improved substrate capabilities allow for successful transfer onto t-shirts, pillowcases, and cotton canvas;
3) Broadened selection of media sizes now includes 8.5″x11″, 11″x17″, and 13″x19″ cut sheet sizes and a 15″x50′ roll;
4) Expanded color gamut allows for the transfer of more RGB process colors at lower concentrations;
5) Enhanced durability of the new film allows better color stability and durability when washing instructions are correctly followed;
6) Solutions added for Epson F-6200, Sawgrass VJ 628, Mutoh RJ-900, and a range of Epson and Ricoh based desktop printer platforms.

A true technology breakthrough, Reveal-S media’s patent pending smart polymer coating selectively releases bold color from areas on the film where a medium to high density of ink is present. Once heat activated, sublimation inks printed onto Reveal-S media chemically combine with the film’s smart coating polymer network and then adhere to the garment.
Areas of the smart coating with no sublimation ink stay on the Reveal-S film and do not transfer to the garment, making Reveal-S the first self-weeding ink jet sublimation-to-cotton product. No physical trimming of your design from the film is required.
Unlike sublimating to polyester which actually dyes the fabric, Reveal S makes sublimating to cotton a surface decorating technology similar to screen printing or DTG printing.
Reveal-S film is for clip art, line art, and vector art designs only and is not suitable for photographic reproduction. Light colors will not activate the smart polymer coating on the film and should be replaced with colors providing a higher density of ink. To aid in the selection of colors, a special Reveal-S color chart can be downloaded from www.conde.com/reveal.
