Several Common Dye Sublimation Printing Mistakes & Solutions

Dye sublimation is a simple way to create printed t-shirts, promotional banners, flags, customized coffee mugs and similar items. But, if you are new the sublimation process, you can make mistakes that can ruin your final products. Want to perfect the science of dye sublimation? Here are some crucial mistakes you must avoid:

sublimation printing

1. Not using polyester fabric

 During dye sublimation printing , heat and pressure convert the sublimation ink into a gaseous state. Many materials, such as cotton or wool will not hold the ink during the heating process.

Polyester, however, provides the best sublimation transfer onto fabrics. Meanwhile, hard items, such as mugs, coasters, etc., will require polyester coating before they can be sublimated.

2. Incorrect heat press temperature

 Without sufficient heating, it is impossible to produce successful transfers onto substrates. The heating temperature will vary from one substrate to another. However, most substrates require nearly 400 degrees F.

3. Using poor images

 The quality of images has a significant impact on prints. Use high resolution images to end up with vibrant and accurate final results.

4. Irregular use of printer

 This is another vital mistake people make without even realizing it. Regular use of printer can prevent print problems like clogging. As a rule, use your printer at least twice every week.

5. Not using good quality sublimation paper

 sublimation printingDye sublimation requires a special transfer paper. It is not like normal print paper. The sublimation paper allows the transfer of the sublimation ink onto a substrate.

Most sublimation papers have coating on one side. However, some sublimation papers are coated on both sides. Generally speaking, the coated side touch your hands a little bit sticky than the other side of the paper.

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...

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 a...

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

图片
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...
