Sublimation Paper

Transfer rate is an important balance to measure the success of the printed products.To make printed products more perfect,we should know something about the reasons for low transfer rate during the sublimation printing.The main reasons forlow transfer rate are the following: 1.The type of printer Cheap and unknown brand printers not only use more ink during sublimation transfer printing ,the transfer rate is uneven too.There are many types of printers, such as Epson, Mimaki, Mutoh,Roland and so on.They have different quality and will lead to different transfer rate. 2.The temperature Sublimation transfer printing has a specific temperature requirement.If the temperature can’t meet the requirement, the transfer rate would be influenced. 3.The fabric Different fabric should use different sublimation paper. For example, if you use common sublimation paper to print the 100% cotton t-shirt, the transfer rate will not be high, and the fiber of the fabric may also be destroyed . 4.The sublim...

Sublimation, including sublimation paper ,sublimation ink, printer, substrate (textile ceramic,glass etc) . They are closely tided together.  Every time when the whole big family is working , all the members must work together ,none of them could be excluded . Every member could never work alone without others. So in order to let the whole family work well, you should choose high quality printer, high quality ink ,and of course, high quality media . Let’s tell ou the reason that why you should choose high quality sublimation paper. 1. Improve Quality We often focus on the printing technologies and the inks that enable dye-sub,but here we look at the sublimation transfer paper that makes the transfer dye-sub process possible .Sublimation transfer paper is coated to carry an image printed with dye-sub ink , so that it can be transferred to the final media when heated. A sublimation process including the paper, ink ,printer , substrate,heat press and the RIP. If any or all are out...

Dye sublimation printing will give you the longest lasting color in your fabric of any type of printing available on fabric. The best national flags are made of polyester because they are color fast and wind resistant. The best printing method on clothing is sublimation transfer printing because there is no ink buildup that will prevent wicking of moisture away from the body. On fabric graphic displays, or art reproductions that are used indoors, the colors are guaranteed to last for 30 years or longer because they are encased in the sealed polymer cells. Another benefit of dye sub printed polyester fabric banners or displays or clothing is that you can wash them for years and not lose any color. I have a shirt that is a dye sublimation floral “Hawaiian-style” print that gets hung out to dry in the sun, and after several years it has not faded at all, unlike my cotton print shirts. Finally, although there are other benefits I could point to as well, the last benefit is the ri...

When considering sportswear, it reminds us team jerseys in the first place, yet in fact, wide product-market scope is available: team jerseys, shorts, dancewear, gymnastic wear, swimwear, speed skating apparel, skateboards and even including accessories such as gloves, hats -the list goes on and on, now more and more sportswear printed by dye sublimation paper. Sublimation transfer printing onto fabric allows you to bring your logos, visuals, designs and patterns to life however you like- be it vibrant colors, degrade colors or fluorescence colors. What’s more, no additional cost is required. The main working principle of the sublimation printing is based on transformation of solid ink particles directly into gaseous state. When the heat is removed, the sublimated ink turns back into a solid form leaving the ink embedded into the garment. Thus, it protects the print from discoloration. You can also use whichever color and pattern you prefer, and thereby create your customized spo...

As most of you know, there are lots of unique ways to create printed tees. And while many of them are great for a variety of reasons, today, we are focusing on sublimation printing. What is Sublimation printing? Sublimation transfer printing is the process of printing a special sublimation ink onto special sublimation transfer paper using a sublimation printing technique. Instead of traditional inkjet transfers which print ink on top of the shirt or item you’re working with. Sublimation ink actually becomes a part of the substrate you’re printing on. Once the ink from your sublimation transfer paper is heat pressed onto the item you’re printing on, it opens up the pores of the fabric that you’re pressing heat onto. Once you press the paper onto your item and release pressure, the heat will cool and the ink will turn back into solid form. The pores will close permanently and encapsulate the ink within the polymer coating of your item. So the ink turns from a solid to a gas and them...

Do you know how to clean the ink path of inkjet printer? Today, we're going to share the steps with you and hope will be helpful to you. Here're the steps: 1. Remove the ink cartridge from the printing machine , pour the ink from the cartridge and clean it with a cleaning solution (or replace it with a new one). 2. Locate the ink bag and use a syringe to draw ink from the ink bag until the ink cannot be withdrawn. 3. Pour a clean empty cartridge into the appropriate amount of cleaning solution and insert it into the machine. 4. Using a syringe to draw the cleaning solution from the ink bag, repeat the operation until the ink bag is filled with the cleaning solution. 5. Wait for a period of time after the entire ink path is filled with the cleaning solution, so that the cleaning liquid can better clean the ink bag and the ink tube. 6. First remove the ink cartridge from the machine, then use the syringe to draw the cleaning solution through the ink bag, and fina...

Dye sublimation relies on the use of modern polymer-based synthetic fabrics for the chemical bonding process. When heat and pressure are applied the ink sublimates from the sublimation transfer paper to the fibers of the fabric, creating an inseparable bond that is extremely durable, flexible, UV resistant, impervious to chemicals like chlorine/bleach, and has none of the weaknesses of other methods like screen or vinyl printing. Without a doubt, dye sublimation printing is one of the most effective methods for creating a whole range of customized and personalized products on-demand. This means you can deliver an almost limitless variety of creative and profitable applications, that will enable you to extend your range of services to your existing clients, or indeed open up a spectrum of new markets to you. With inkjet dye sublimation printing, you can print onto a vast range of fabrics and coated surfaces in many widths and lengths, including stretchy sports fabrics and heavy ca...

What's the difference between cotton digital printing and sublimation tTransfer printing? Today, I will make a introduction to it. 1. The difference of technology Cotton digital printing is usually set by the computer to be printed, and finished by machine printing. (Applicable range is more than 80% cotton clothes, ink is pigment ink) Thermal transfer printing usually prints the pattern on a medium and then heats it on it when it is printed. (Non-cotton clothes, ink is thermal transfer ink) A simple analogy is that a cotton digital print is like a printer that prints out a document. The thermal transfer printing is like a fake tattoo on the street. 2. Hand-feeling It is of course good for cotton digital printing. Needless to say, thermal transfer printing gives people a feeling of "hard". Of course, if you use good paper for thermal transfer, the feel will be better, but it is still good for cotton digital printing. 3. Color In terms of color, the colo...

The dyes won't easily fade Another benefit of dye sub printed polyester fabric banners or displays or clothing is that you can wash them for years and not lose any color. 4. C...

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: 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. ...

Commercial printing can be completed in many different ways. For many years, there are several traditional printing methods which have been used by the fashion industry for ages, as well as the new and innovative method of digital printing. While digital printing currently has only a 2% market share, interested in the printing method is growing and it is poised to take over the industry in the next few years. This is because there are many benefits to digital printing over other printing methods. These benefits include: 1) Ease of coloration 2) Direct printing from a computer screen 3) No silk screens or printing screens 4) No color kitchen required 5) Attractive designs not possible with other methods Digital printing is also more environmentally responsible and sustainable as it creates significantly less waste, uses up to 30% less water than traditional printing methods, produces only 1/33 as much waste water, and consumes up to 45% less electricity. With all these...

1. Ink type What are the factors related to the dryness and slowness of the wide format inkjet printer ink? Compared with the water-based ink, the Eco solvent ink is volatile, so the drying rate is faster, the printing screen is bright and beautiful  the color is bright, and the film can be outdoors for a long time. What are the factors related to the dryness and slowness of the inkjet printer ink? In water-based dye ink solvent is water, its volatilization rate is slower than organic solvent, difficult to dry, it often takes a long time to dry or use the drying equipment. 2. Consumables The consumable material of the damp is soft to collapse, the ink jet will have the feeling of ink, will soon become unshaped. What are the factors related to the dryness and slowness of the inkjet printer ink? Especially for inkjet printing machines that use dye ink, because of its own strong affinity with water, ink droplets will quickly mix and reduce volatilization speed. 3. ...

1. Wide Inkjet printer print blank fault check The first thing to check the allowance is that the surplus is enough to cause the printing blank. Most of the failures are due to nozzle blockage, ink cartridges and so on. 2.Troubleshooting of large format inkjet printer output blackening 1) Troubleshoot: There may be two reasons: ink cartridge, printer not used for a long time or direct sunlight, resulting in nozzle blockage. 2) Solution: You can change the cartridge or inject ink. If the cartridge is not used up, it can be concluded that the nozzle is blocked: remove the cartridge (for cartridge nozzles). The integral printer needs to remove the nozzle. Soak the nozzle in warm water for a while. Be careful not to immerse the circuit board in the water, otherwise it will be used. The result is unthinkable. The operation is recommended under the guidance of factory engineers. 3. New ink cartridges do not print out of water after loading, showing the ink 1) Do not remove th...

What is a RIP Software? What’s the function of it? Some of us probably are unfamiliar with it and have no idea about its functions. RIP software is often be applied to flatbed UV printers. RIP is one of professional software for colors configurations. It has many practical functions. 1.It supports the output of white ink for flatbed UV printers and covers the shortcomings of traditional printers which can only print onto light color materials. 2.It has color separation capability. RIP can take full control of all ink channels of flatbed UV printer. For example, we can set the print color as 0% Cyan, 100% Magenta, 0% Yellow, 0% Key Plate, 0% Light Magenta and 0% Light Cyan. That means normally 100% Magenta ink printing and the jetted ink volume of other five ink colors (Cyan, Yellow, Key Plate, Light Magenta, and Light Cyan) is zero. This is very suitable for color separation overprinting or professional printing since it perfectly satisfies the need of increasing or decreasing...

Sublimation printing has become an increasingly popular method for printing high quality images onto various fabrics and items. It is finding such popularity partly because sublimation printing displays absolutely no resolution loss when compared to the original image. The result is an image with the perfect clarity of the source picture. This sort of high quality product holds up to any level of scrutiny, and satisfies even the most meticulously and critically held standards. It is being used more and more as companies and clients both turn toward a preference for environmentally friendly products and environmentally conscious means of production. This gives dye sublimation printing a huge boost in benefits over other traditional means of printing, such as print screening. Sublimation printing uses absolutely no water during the process of dyeing fabrics or other dyeable objects. In fact, sublimation printing ends up producing almost no waste at all. Only a small amount of d...

I once read a sentence and deeply agree that "Any product in the world is irreplaceable".Of course, print head is the irreplaceable small product.The user's operating method and basic maintenance in use are also important factors that affect the long-term use of printer's print head. "illegal" operation We should try to avoid the following situations: 1.Bad habits in daily work. 2.A sudden power failure during printing caused the printer head not to return to normal position. 3.One-sided pursuit of speed during the printing process pulls paper. 4.Open the front cover during printing and do harm to the print head, such as pulling paper, wiping parts, etc. 5.Try to change the position of the parts when the power is on. For example, forcibly pull the carriage from the maintenance cartridge. 6.For convenience, move the device while the printer is working. Empty print head In daily work, due to long hours, a lot of work, or negligence on the stat...

Dye sublimation paper is very versatile. What makes it unique is the way in which it works. In this form of printing, heat is used to transfer the dye from the materials onto another surface. These papers are used along with ink to create impressive displays. From a simple t-shirt to an incredible point of sale campaign, there are various uses for it. 1. Industrial Applications One of the first uses of this printing  process   of sublimation paper was in industrial applications. Because of the more complex methods, dye sublimation was only used in industrial printing needs for a long time. This is no longer the case, of course. However, it is still used when metal or other hard surface materials need printing. It works very well in creating a seamless look and an impressive level of detailing. It is also an economical choice in these industries especially since it offers so much flexibility to the user. 2. Commercial Uses Along with industrial use, this printing...
