What is Merlin?

Merlin was developed by ENTEC, the technology, research and development division of Ensign Emblem Ltd. to provide optional services to the industrial uniform rental and laundry industry.

Merlin allows users to design emblems quickly and easily with it's wizard interface, to store customer and emblem information in a database, and to recall stored designs for automatic layout and printing for sublimation to emblems, garments, or promotional items.

The Merlin software was designed specifically for the commercial uniform rental and laundry industry, and it provides user friendly features and simplistic operation without compromising any features of the graphics program.

ENTEC uses state-of-the-art components in a custom built and configured computer graphics workstation designed just for Merlin and it's high-powered graphics processing.  The Merlin system's software allows users to recover from almost any conceivable computer problem or error without losing data or designs, and offers remote system support from an ENTEC technician should it be needed.

One of the two most important components of the Merlin system is the printer ink.  Other inks can only dream about the results of our Merlin Plus+™ ink.  Developed by Sawgrass Systems for the industrial laundry and rental uniform industry, this sublimation ink for inkjet printers out-shines others in it's class.

The second of the two important components is the Merlin paper.  Coated on two sides with a proprietary coating, the Merlin paper releases large amounts of sublimation dye quickly, and gives you crispness you simply cannot obtain with other papers.  Additionally, the opacity of the paper allows for accurate alignment over the emblems.
