What is the Process of Dye Sublimation


Step 1.

Dye Sublimation refers to solid dye particles that are changed into gas using heat and pressure, which then bond with any polymers present and change back into a solid.

Step 2.

The Basic Dye Sublimation Process uses special heat sensitive dyes to print graphics and text onto special transfer paper. The sublimation paper is then placed on a Blank Sublimation product and both are placed in a heat press.

Step 3.

When the heating cycle is complete, the image on the heat transfer paper has been transferred to the item and has actually reformed into or underneath the coated surface. Run your finger across the surface of a sublimated photo mug or any coated product and you will feel nothing. It is as smooth as anything.

Step 4.

The reason for this is that sublimation is always done on polyester, polymer - coated items. At high temperatures, the solid dye converts into a gas without ever becoming a liquid. The same high temperature opens the pores of the polymer and allows the gas to enter. When the temperature drops, the pores close and the gas reverts to a solid state. It has now become part of the polymer.

Step 5.

This is why Dye Sublimation can't be done on natural materials such as 100% cotton or natural fibers and non coated materials which have no " pores " to open. Unless a polymer coated paper is used.

Do You Know The Difference Between The Sublimation Paper And Heat Transfer Paper?

  Hi, Nice to see you. How are you these days ? Long time no talking about the sublimation paper. If you have read about my article before you must know that we are professional in sublimation printing and transferring, also have have the sublimation paper manufacturer. Then with so many experience today I will solve a common problem of all of you and help you know more about sublimation. That is the difference introduce about the sublimation paper and heat transfer paper.   The main reason why people can't distinguish the sublimation paper and heat transfer paper is that they can all be used for patterns transfer onto the fabric and textile.The main difference is how the image physically gets to the substrate in the actual transfer process. This means there are also differences in the items that may be decorated with either process. In order to let you have a deep understanding about them I will have a detailed introduce in the next article. Then read the following and get

Which is The Right Printing Side of The Sublimation Paper and How to Distinguish it?

  Hi, Nice to see you again.In your daily lives of using sublimation transfer paper you must face a serious problem. That is which is the right printing side of the sublimation transfer paper and how to distinguish the right side. Because if you can't  print you patterns in the right side your patterns may always getting bad and the color of the ink or pictures may be a lot problems.Today I will share you some ideas about how to distinguish it and hope this article can be useful to you.   Sublimation paper is one type of coated paper, and most of the sublimation transfer paper comes with right and wrong side for printing.if you print on wrong side, the transfer will not have best color,will  result in a poor transfer which looks mottled and washed out, and you'll have to do it again. So dye sublimation paper can only be printed on one side (which is the release side).   Then,let's have a talk about how to distinguish the right printing side.First of all, let'

Sublimation paper-An important part of the printing industry

   Now the use of heat transfer paper has become a more common phenomenon, from the current comprehensive analysis of the actual situation, this product in the operation stage, can have an effective conversion effect, compared with ordinary ink-jet paper, not only looks particularly bright in color contrast, at the same time on the whole. The degree of ink savings came to the analysis, but also to save the cost of effective improvements, the printing industry is familiar with and favored, has become an important part of the concern of many market industries.     Sublimation transfer paper can ensure a rapid increase in solubility, and lay a solid foundation for the transfer effect after the standard. From the comprehensive analysis of the overall drying speed, this product can achieve in the continuous printing process, will not occur face or distortion problems, can improve the overall operating time to a certain extent, so that the follow-up printing style more in line with the w
