Frequently Asked Questions
NuCoat helps decorators run safer, more consistent, and scalable production. For 30+ years—beginning with the first HP® inkjet transfer paper in the ’90s—we’ve focused on purposeful chemistry, practical engineering, and support that shows up on press. Today our Digitall™ films, powders, and inks carry that same standard, with select products made in the U.S. and all inventory stocked domestically for dependable delivery. If you’re here, you value reliability, color you can trust, and materials that meet modern expectations for safety and performance.
