What is ChromaBlast? ChromaBlast™ is a unique patented ink and media combination driven by powerful print software to create the best cotton imaging system available. As heat and pressure is applied to the cotton, a chemical cross-link with cotton occurs. The result is a customized cotton shirt with soft hand, vibrant color and superior wash ability.
How does it work? The ChromaBlast system is currently configured for three printer models: the Epson C88, R1800, and 4800. It runs from a standard PC and utilizes off-the-shelf-graphics software to create instant personalized images. In a simple three-step process, the ChromaBlast system involves designing and customizing you image on your computer, printing through the ChromaBlast driver and adjusting color as needed onto the ChromaBlast media, and finally, cross-linking the image to the cotton through the use of a heat press.
What type of heat press is required? For optimum color and wash fastness, Sawgrass recommends a pneumatic heat press application at 350°F-375°F (176°C) for 45-60 seconds / 60 psi.
Due to variations in cotton garments and in heat presses, time and temperature can be adjusted for preferred performance up to 400°F for 25 seconds. Some scorching may occur, but will wash out.

TRANSFER OPTIONS ON DARK GARMENTS!
Want a Chromablast solution for dark garments?
With our InkJet Dark Add On Pack we give you everything you need to turn
Chromablast into a dark garment solution.
The InkJet Dark add On Pack includes 50 sheets of our special Forever
Dark InkJet heat transfer paper and a 8.5" wide Roland Vinyl Plotter. Forever
dark works with most inkjet printers but will work best with Epson printers
using Chromablast Ink. Forever Dark paper needs to be ran through a plotter to
cut the excess areas around the image before the image is transferred to the
garment. This can be done by hand but we highly recommend using a plotter.
