Heat sublimation transfer printing is a portrait, landscape, such as text by using a thermal transfer ink inkjet printer to mirror reverse way to print on the sublimation transfer paper, and then heated to a temperature of about 200 ℃ after thermal transfer equipment, heat sublimation thermal transfer ink on paper will be in the form of gasification into substrates, so as to put the paper on the vivid images to transfer to textiles, porcelain, porcelain, porcelain plate, metal material such as a new technology.

Use the sublimation transfer printing with inkjet paper, no film substrates surface, thus design of handle and visual effect is much better than ordinary ink transfer paper method, its colour profusion, do not fade, not cracked, permeability good advantages to today's thermal transfer products popular in the world, and made the photo thermal sublimation transfer printing process streetlight banner, flag, ribbon, handbags, bags, posters, hang a picture, double sided flag, clothing, ceramic tile, glass, etc. In the fierce competition in the market competition.

Common specifications of ink-jet web for thermal transfer paper:

Width: 0.21 m;0.30 m;0.42 m;0.48 m;0.61 m;0.914 m;1.118 m;1.3 m;1.6 m;1.62m (2.2 yuan/square meter) (customized according to user requirements)

Common specifications of flat sheet paper:

A4:21cm * 29.7cm (100 sheets per pack)

Suitable printers: ESPON;Mimaki;Roland.

Be sure to use thermal sublimation transfer ink, this is made of disperse dyes, at transfer temperature will produce sublimation and dyeing substrate.Good quality thermal sublimation ink should not be blocked nozzle, color realistic, good stability.

Adjust proper colour concentration in the computer, avoid the case that appears ink is overmuch and not easy to dry, the effect that needs to check heat transfer to print after adjusting.The temperature range of heat transfer printing is about 180-230℃, the time is about 10-30 seconds, before the formal batch transfer printing should first do a small test to determine the best process parameters.

In heat transfer surface, transfer paper, substrate surface must be close, can not have gaps, or transfer text and text blurring phenomenon.

Thermal sublimation transfer printing text and text colorful, rich, its effect can be comparable to printing, thermal sublimation transfer printing is at high temperature so that thermal transfer ink sublimation into the object, condensing after the formation of bright color image.Therefore, heat transfer products are durable, the image will not fall off, crack and fade.
