1. Keep an eye on expiration date

First off, pay attention to the expiration date of the ink. Similar to other printing ink, dye sublimation ink has an expiration date. Do not use an expired ink.

Apart from causing damage to a printer, an expired dye sublimation ink may be harmful to your health. The ink is made up of various ingredients, including pigments, dyes and more. Once it expires, replace it with a new ink. Avoid storing the expired sublimation ink in a freezer. A frozen ink will be of no use.

2. Protect it from sunlight

In order to extend the life of sublimation ink, keep it away from sunlight. Excessive sun exposure can contaminate it.

3. Use an air tight container to store it

An air right container is the safest way for storing dye sublimation ink. Avoid shaking or moving the container as it can cause air bubbles. Air bubbles can decrease the printing quality. Make sure the ink containers are stored in a flat position.

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 an...

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...
