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 to know more.
What is Sublimation ?
  Sublimation is a digital printing process that is similar in concept to the digital transfer application, but uniquely different in the chemical process. Technically, printing adds color to the surface of the substrate (the item being printed). Sublimation on the other hand is a dye process, meaning that it actually penetrates and re-colors the substrate below the surface. 

What is Heat Transfer?
  Heat transfer is the process of printing onto special transfer paper and using a heat press or home iron to transfer it onto a shirt. Heat transfer is a similar process as direct-to-garment or screen-printing, but does not carry the same high cost or messy set up. It is kind of like to stickers, meaning the image will lie on top of the shirt and has a different texture than the surrounding material. 


Difference in Sublimation Paper and Heat Transfer Paper
Ink: 
-Sublimation paper usually use with sublimation ink
-Heat transfer paper usually use with dye ink, pigment ink, solvent ink or others. 
Requirement on the pressure: 
-Heat transfer paper requires higher pressure than sublimation paper during the transfer process. 

Media: 
-Sublimation paper can be transferred onto polyester, mouse pad, banner and hard surface, such as mug, ceramic and aluminum plate, etc. 
-Heat transfer paper is usually transferred onto 100% cotton. 

   From it above you can know that the application of the sublimation paper is much more wide then the heat transfer paper. It can not only be used for the T-shirt transfer. It can also be use for anything from coasters to jewelry, mugs, puzzles and more. Also the demand of the pressure of the sublimation paper is lower than the heat transfer paper. So for the sublimation paper, it has much more advantages.

  Okay, These all above are my share and analysis between the sublimation paper and heat transfer paper. If you have any needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time.
