Sublimation Paper

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...

Nowadays sublimation paper is widely used because of the fast dry speed and realistic image. And it can work on textiles, porcelain, porcelain, porcelain, metal and other materials. Today, I'm going to talk about the following three materials. 1.Sublimate Substrates Sublimation transfer paper is always worked on polyester, polymer and polymer coated item. Sublimation dye penetrates the fiber and binds itself to the fabric. These types of materials have pore, which allow for the sublimation dye to enter the materials. The high temperature of the heat press converts the solid dyes directly into gas. 2.White colored Material White colored material is most popular used surface for sublimation printing and are preferred. Actually, white background provide the ideal contrast and enhances color. White background allows sublimation printing of all kinds of colors. You can do sublimation on blank mugs and all the steps i have mentioned before. You can read my past ar...

Now on the market, you can find many different weight of sublimation papers like 45gsm, 60gsm, 70gsm, 80gsm, 90gsm and 100gsm sublimation papers. But do you know how to choose a suitable one for your business? And do you know what’s the difference between them? You will meet those problem, and today I will introduce for you. 45/60/70sgm sublimation transfer paper suit to high speed machine. Like MSJP series, REGGIANI printer. In usual, those type, we make with jumbo rolls like 5000M, 10,000M 80/90gsm sublimation paper suit to light image printing, because 80/90gsm paper are thinner than 100gsm paper. If your image need too much more ink, 80gsm paper will shrink. Meanwhile you need to control the humidity in 40%-60%. In this way, your paper won’t wrinkling. 100gsm sublimation paper suit to textile which requires lots of ink. For example, printing a large area of dark color, you need to choose 100gsm due that 100gsm paper are more thickness, and it can absorb more ink and it wo...

As one of the most common application of sublimation printing, textile printing can be see all around us. The clothes you wear, the curtain in your house, the banner on the street… Can sublimation transfer paper be used for all fabrics? The answer is No. Sublimation paper is mostly used in Nylon , Polyester, Lycra and other synthetic fabrics. Then have you wondered why? Nylon, Polyester, Lycra and other synthetic fabrics have a certain porous, that will open when meet high temperature and absorb the sublimation ink. Besides, polyester material can not be colored or unable to be colored very well. When you print these fabric with traditional printing method, the color will fade in water when you wash it, because the colorful dye is staying at the surface of the textile. At the same time, traditional printing method will let the fabric lose the beautiful luster after printing. Sublimation printing can help the fabrics keep the luster. Next time when you get the Nylon...

Customers when judging transfer rates can be a “parallel experiment”, the method is to take you need to compare several kinds of thermal transfer paper with double-sided tape together side by side, then on the printer to print together lateral 2 cm wide strip CMYK color piece, again after 1 hour together on the same fabric, such as thermal sublimation transfer printing at the same time, high concentrations of cloth color or color less high transfer rate remains on transfer paper. The experimental methods we introduced today need to be noted in the use of comparative transfer rates: 1) to select the same type of sublimation inkjet heat transfer paper . Each type high weight sublimation paper - low weight sublimation paper - sticky sublimation paper - industrial heat transfer sublimation paper (jumbo roll, mini jumbo roll, 3.2 meters of the sublimation paper) 2) Do not only focus on the transfer rate, but also take into account the drying speed and smoothness of printing, withou...

Thermochromic printing has long been applied to the printing process. Sublimation transfer paper has adopted similar processing methods and through this model to improve the processing printing methods. This is also a feature of modern printing plants. Thermal discoloration can process dyes according to the changes of the environment and temperature. And it can more quickly adapt to the modern printing paper process. With this type of thermal sublimation, transfer paper naturally improves the efficiency of the printing process. After the preliminary preparation of the printing paper, it can also be printed on the reversible and irreversible two types of finished products by sublimation transfer printing paper. The effect of products made in this way is also different. In order to ensure the force of the printing process, you can also add other additives as required. It can ensure the sublimation transfer effect and to ensure the final appearance of the processed printing produc...

Sample testing is really important in sublimation. If you need a large amount procurement of sublimation papers, we recommend you to get some samples and arrange a test first. Why should we test the sublimation paper samples? 1. Dye Sublimation paper is a vulnerable lady, in different printing condition , different transfer condition, she acts differently. Before your take her home , you have to make a small test to see if she works very well in your house, if she could get along with other fellows like your printers, inks. 2. Every sublimation paper manufacturer has different standards. Differences are inevitable. As a sublimation paper manufacturer ,we will provide you our suggestion & reference based on our production standard and our sublimation transfer paper performance index,but still like we said, the suggestion we provide are based on the regular working condition. But each client has different printing room, different transfer equipment,usage method,operation, e...

Sublimation Paper has been widely used in the market, it is developed specifically for the general transfer process. Applicable to all kinds of inkjet printer,higher quality and lower price.Different gram from 60 to 120, how to choose the best for use? Generally speaking, there are just 3 kind of paper, quick dry, tacky, and the thin paper. 1. Quick-dry sublimation paper The transfer paper will be dry after printing. Then dry-heater power can be reduced greatly so that cost will be reduced and the picuture color will be clear. 100gsm is the famous on this kind, suit for Epson, Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh. 2. The Sticky sublimation paper This kind of sticky paper is designed for shrunk fabric.The paper will stick to the fabrics so that the quality will be improved greatly, 100gsm tacky use mostly during all gram, suit for Epson, Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh and Custom Printers. 3. Thin sublimation paper This kind of paper can be used by some specilized sector to reduce the cost. This...

Do you know why the instruction manual that comes with sublimation transfer papers also specifies the humidity levels it should be stored at? Specifying humidity levels for paper storage hardly makes any sense, other than giving an impression that you must be using a high-end product. But the matter of fact is there’s indeed a link between the performance of a transfer paper and the humidity levels it is exposed to (stored at). 1. What humidity does to a transfer paper? A sublimation paper can absorb and retain an enormous amount of moisture. It’s like a sponge. The problem is that if it absorbs moisture in excess, at the time of printing, the trapped moisture in the transfer paper can flash to steam and blow away the ink from its target area. This can result in printing artifacts such as color shifting, uneven transfer and bleeding of the image. Therefore, manufacturers specify optimum humidity levels for transfer paper storage so that the paper doesn’t absorb moisture in ex...

Sublimation plays an increasingly important role in digital printing industry due to its advantages of low cost, environmental protection and sublimation transfer. Sublimation transfer paper is an essential medium for sublimation printing. Now, I will have a brief analysis to the reason about the factors that effect the drying time of sublimation transfer paper. By sublimation the coating is a functional part of the sublimation paper , which plays several important roles in absorbing the dye sublimation separation dye sublimation and base paper to prevent the dye sublimation from penetrating into the paper base and absorbing water in the sublimation ink. The third function is the drying process. In the sublimation coating, there is a portion called a “water removal layer” which helps to handle the drying of the paper once the sublimation paper is printed. We use water-based sublimation inks, which means the carrier is water. Only when the water is exhausted, all sublimation dyes...

Today we are going to introduce the method that how to judge the correct printing of sublimation paper roll. Hope will be helpful 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 how to identify the correct printing side ,which side to print on ? That’s a big question. First of all, let’s talk about the roll sublimation paper. It is very easy because the outside is the printing side in the roll paper. After you receive the roll paper, you only need to install the paper into your printer as usual, and then start your work. There will never has a chance that you will print on the wrong side. You will see that it’s very awkward i...

When using sublimation printer and roll to roll heat transfer machine, a few of customers will have some doubts or find our paper and ink are not suitable for their machines. Here're advices that can help you indentify if our high density sublimation ink and paper are suitable to your printer and print head. Of course, in the first, our clients had better tell us the printer models for our reference. Because different clients from different countries will have some special needs for the paper, such as the weight, width and length according to their printers, even the transferred objects. For the sublimation ink , mainly dependent on the print head. Usually, EPSON is commonly used, which is divided into several series according to different quality, especially the ink concentration. When introducing the ink, we need to know our client’s printer model, the thickness of the paper that our clients currently use and if there have any requirements for black ink. In addition, ...

Some people don’t have a deep understanding for the difference between heat transfer paper and sublimation paper. So they may choose incorrect papers for printing. If there was a large project, it must be a big loss. We’re going to analysis the difference between transfer paper and sublimation paper today. Hope will be helpful for you to choose the suitable paper. 1. Sublimation Paper Sublimation transfer paper is applicable to sublimation transfer, on which can print images with mirror reversal through inkjet printing, flat printing, screen printing and gravure printing. Then transfer the image onto media by heating and pressuring, which can make ink on the paper become gaseous state and combine with the media. Sublimation is the process of changing physical states from solid to a gas while bypassing the liquid phase. In sublimation paper printing, the sublimation inks are formulated to vaporize at certain high temperatures. This quick release of the sublimation inks is w...

With the recent development of sublimation transfer printers, as one of the consumables for sublimation transfer printers, many applications have begun to use sublimation transfer paper for printing. It can not only be used to synthesize our common fiber fabrics, but also some natural fiber printing or blending fabrics can be used for sublimation transfer printing. What are the main advantages of sublimation printing paper ? The biggest advantage of sublimation transfer paper is that it is very environmentally friendly. It can be operated without water, so that it will not produce sewage, so it is a very green and environmentally friendly product. In the whole process of the process, its process time is also very short, basically printed is the complete finished product, completely no need for special post-processing. In addition, the sublimation transfer paper produced by the sublimation transfer paper manufacturer usually has a very fine pattern and a strong artistic se...

With the wide use of sublimation transfer paper, more and more customers are concerned about the factors affecting the sublimation transfer paper roll, such as the drying speed of thermal sublimation, the associated printer, and so on. 1. What factors affect the drying rate? Generally speaking, it includes drying rate of sublimation paper itself; the printing environment includes environmental humidity; and the amount of printing ink, and if we want to speed up drying, Manual drying measures can be taken, such as using a heater, drying lamp, etc. 2. Do the thermal sublimation paper have special requirements for the machine? In general, our paper is basically applicable to all printers, and there is no special choice for machines. 3. Sublimation paper storage conditions? Relative humidity of 45-70% RH, the temperature is 10 to 30 ℃, placed a cool and dry and avoid direct sunlight, air conditioning temperature wet room is recommended. To avoid dampness, it should be stack...

Inkjet sublimation paper is produced in various thicknesses and widths. Formed in two parts as base paper and coating on the surface.  While the base paper carries the ink, chemical coating keeps the ink and allows it to dry on the surface. Good dry and good transfer efficiencies are two opposing parameters. A good transfer paper should provide the ink to dry on surface as soon as possible and also be able to transfer vast majority of the ink to the fabric. It is very important that these values must be properly run on paper printing machines and must work in the press well. Certainly, it must not have undesirable substances such as dust spots on the paper. Tears, deformations at the edge of the paper can cause great harm to the printing heads. Paper thickness must be determined based on the density of the pattern and amount of ink to be used in the pattern. In a very dense design, using a light-weight paper causes paper not to run smoothly on machine and printing press and al...
