COLORVISTA
This 4-color (CMYK) heat transfer process provides close registration on multi-color designs and photographs. You’ll see vivid colors, crisp details and photo-quality reproduction. Available on non-woven polypropylene, polyester, matte shoppers, and cotton/jute bags.
We manage the entire COLORVISTA imprint process in-house, including making the transfers, which ensures the highest degree of quality control. Best of all, COLORVISTA is an all-inclusive print process with no additional set-ups at press, so there are no screen, set-up or multi-color run charges.
