JM Band offers a wide range of printer accessories designed to ensure smooth and efficient production. The selection includes several types of thermal transfer foils — FM, FT, FX, FZ, and FW — as well as the JMB4+ pickup roller. Each accessory is engineered for reliable performance, excellent print clarity, and long-lasting durability, making them ideal for professional printing environments.
Each type of thermal transfer foil serves a unique purpose depending on the printing material and desired finish. FM foils are perfect for sharp, long-lasting prints on different surfaces, while FT foils provide enhanced resistance against scratches and smudges. FX foils deliver a glossy, eye-catching shine suitable for logos or graphic highlights. FZ foils produce a smooth matte finish for a refined and elegant appearance, and FW foils are specifically designed for textiles, ensuring strong color transfer and durability on fabric surfaces.
The pickup roller is designed exclusively for JM Band’s JMB4+ printing system. Its function is to automatically collect printed ribbons and other media as they are produced, keeping your workspace clean and organized. This accessory improves workflow efficiency and helps prevent downtime during long or continuous printing sessions.
Choosing the right foil depends on the surface you are printing on and the visual effect you wish to achieve. FM and FT foils are ideal for general use and deliver consistently high-quality results. FX foils are best when a glossy, reflective finish is desired, while FZ foils create a sleek, professional matte look. For fabric printing, FW foils offer optimal color vibrancy and durability, making them the best choice for textile applications.
