Do you know the Differences between Heat Transfer Paper & Dye Sublimation paper?

Hello, Nice to see you.It's a nice day in the city of Nanjing. After the introduce of the heat press machine in the last articles.Today the topic is about the dye subliamtion paper.Do you know the differences between heat transfer paper and dye subliamtion paper? I believe many peple don't know of it.Don't worry! Read the following and I will share you more.
Firstly, do you know heat transfer process and sublimation printing?


Heat transfer is for the process of printing onto special heat 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 screenprinting, but does not carry the same high cost or messy set up. Much like the old iron-ons you could buy at craft stores or Wal-Mart, these transfers are kind of like to stickers, meaning the image will lie on top of the shirt and has a different texture than the surrounding material. Unlike those old iron-ons, these are professional-quality transfers. The color, feel and durability far surpass the old Star Wars logo on your brother’s old shirt. Depending on the type of transfer you choose, you can customize the softness, the vibrancy of color, the gloss and the thickness of the background. Though a heat press isn’t required for heat transfer, it is highly recommended.


Heat transfers have a shorter life span than sublimation, but your image can remain bright and beautiful for years if it is applied and cared for correctly.

Sublimation is a little more complicated and - don’t let this scare you off - scientific.Dye sublimation ink, when heated, turns into a gas that actually embeds itself into anything with a polyester coating. This creates a cleaner, more professional look. There is no difference in feeling between the image and the shirt. The downfall to sublimation is that it must be used with 100% polyester garments. This may limit you when looking to create t-shirts, but it opens an entirely new world of sublimation blanks – anything from coasters to jewelry, mugs, puzzles and more. Keep in mind that a heat press is required for sublimation.
Sublimation always has intense colors and can last virtually forever, if applied correctly.

What’s the Difference Between Sticky Sublimation Transfer Paper And Sublimation Paper?

For sublimation transfer paper , we generally divide it into 2 types: the fast dry sublimation paper and the sticky sublimation paper. But most people just know the fast dry sublimation paper, because the applications of sticky paper is limited. But sometimes, sticky paper is also important. Tacky sublimation paper is one type of sublimation paper with a tackified coating. The tackified coating will be activated by heat. After the tackified coating is activated, it will adhere to the textile very firmly, so after the transfer is finished and when you lift the press up, the paper will still firmly adhere to the textile, it prevents the paper and textile from moving, the ghosting will not occur. The tacky paper is mostly used in stretch material such as lycra, the stretch material has a elastic, it is much easier moving during the transfer. But even though you are using the stretch material , doesn’t mean you still need to us tacky sublimation paper, that depends on the heat pres...
