Let us know more about your Luster services and products. Which sectors use your products?
With a focus on print-head compatibility, Lustre Digital has developed solutions for a wide variety of printheads, such as Epson, Kyocera, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, and Starfire. Lustre operates globally with its own organization of sales, training and technical assistance which is renowned for its long-standing partnerships in the industry.

Our sublimation ink is based on the dye sublimation printing process, in which heat and pressure are being used in a way that turns the ink directly into a gas. The high temperature allows the ink to transfer onto items without migrating, cracking, or smudging, as the ink becomes an integral part of the printed product and does not fade or wash off over time. This makes sublimation inks highly reliable and durable, in addition to the high level of accuracy that can be reached using this type of ink and printing technique.
Our applications are:
• Polyester, polyamide fabrics and mixed synthetic fabrics (min. 80% of synthetic fibers)
• Ideal for transferring onto synthetic fabrics
• Sportswear and outwear, fashion garments and accessories, gadgets, game clothes, flag and banners
