Mobile, AL – August 18, 2010 – Condé™ Systems, Inc. has added LaserMPrints™ CTF Trim Free™ Transfer Paper to its family of products for heat transfer. Developed for use with either oil-based or oil-less color laser copiers and printers, LaserMPrints CTF Trim Free Transfer Paper is a revolutionary single-step, self-weeding transfer paper designed for transferring full-color logos and artwork onto white and light colored apparel, tote bags, aprons, hats, and more. Engineered to leave ZERO background residue on the finished product, LaserMPrints CTF Trim Free reduces production time by eliminating the need to trim and discard the non-imaged areas of a printed transfer. Even intricate designs and text can be easily transferred onto garments without also transferring an unsightly background polymer “window”. LaserMPrints CTF Trim Free Transfer Paper provides professional results on 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and cotton/polyester blends and is available in 8.5”x11” and 11”x17” cut sheet sizes. Visit www.conde.com for additional information and pricing.
