MagicSeal helps printed apparel feel softer, more breathable, and more comfortable to wear. It is designed to improve the final hand feel of decorated garments by helping the printed design feel more integrated with the fabric instead of feeling heavy, stiff, or rubbery.
MagicSeal can be used with many popular garment printing and transfer methods, including DTF, DTG, White Toner Transfer, sublimation, vinyl, HTV, screen print transfers, and other textile printing processes where a final heat press or post-press step can be used.
Main benefits of using MagicSeal:
- Improved hand feel: Prints feel softer, smoother, and more natural on the garment.
- Enhanced breathability: The printed area can feel lighter and more comfortable, especially compared to untreated prints.
- More comfortable apparel: Helps reduce the heavy or rubbery feel that some transfers can have.
- Better finished appearance: The final print can look and feel more professional after the post-press step.
- Easy workflow: For most printing methods, simply apply MagicSeal after the first press or print step, then complete a final post-press.
- Works with many print methods: Compatible with DTF, DTG, White Toner Transfer, sublimation, vinyl, HTV, screen print transfers, and more.
Additional benefits for manual-powdering DTF users:
For DTF printing processes where you can pre-cure the printed DTF film before applying powder, such as manual powdering workflows, Liquid MagicSeal can provide additional production benefits.
- Up to 40% less DTF powder usage: Pre-curing before powdering can reduce the amount of powder that remains on the print.
- Up to 40% faster post-print production: Less powder can mean a shorter curing period, helping speed up production.
- Even softer hand feel: Less excess powder can help create a thinner, softer, more flexible print.
- Improved breathability: A thinner powder layer can help the final print feel lighter and more breathable.
- Lower material waste: Using less powder can help reduce ongoing consumable costs.
Important note for DTF powder reduction:
When using the special Manual DTF Method, it is important to maintain the right amount of powder. Using too little powder can cause fine, detailed prints to crack when stretched. The goal is to reduce excess powder while still keeping enough adhesive powder for strong, durable prints.
MagicSeal Spray vs. normal post-pressing:
A standard post-press can help flatten and finish a print, but MagicSeal(TM) is designed to take that final step further by improving softness, breathability, flexibility, and comfort. This makes it especially useful for apparel decorators who want a more premium feel on finished garments.
Who should use MagicSeal?
MagicSeal is ideal for print shops, apparel decorators, DTF users, DTG users, White Toner Transfer users, sublimation users, vinyl and HTV users, and anyone looking to improve the final feel and comfort of printed garments.
In simple terms:
MagicSeal makes printed apparel feel better. It improves hand feel, enhances breathability, helps prints feel softer and more comfortable, and can also help manual-powdering DTF users save up to 40% on powder usage and up to 40% on post-print production time when used with the proper method.
