Conditions and applications of sublimation transfer paper

Mar 13, 2024

The use of sublimation paper must meet two conditions: any printer with a micro-piezoelectric nozzle can be used, such as: Epson, Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki and other models, and must use sublimation transfer ink. This ink made of disperse dyes will sublimate and dye the substrate at the transfer temperature.

1. What is sublimation transfer? Sublimation transfer is a new process that uses an inkjet printer equipped with thermal transfer ink to print portraits, landscapes, texts and other images on sublimation transfer paper in a mirror-reversed manner, and then heats to about 200°C through a thermal transfer device. The thermal transfer ink on the sublimation paper will penetrate into the substrate in the form of vaporization, thereby realistically transferring the color of the image on the paper to textiles, porcelain cups, porcelain plates, porcelain plates, metals and other materials.

2. Printers suitable for Guangzhou Haohan Paper Products Ordinary inkjet printers: Epson C65, 830u, R210, R310, R800, 1520K, EX3, 1290, 2100, Lenovo: CJ100, etc. Wide-format inkjet printers: Epson 3000, 4000, 4000HS, 7600, 9600, 10600; Roland, Mutoh, Encad, Mimaki, etc.

3. To use special thermal sublimation transfer ink, you must use thermal sublimation transfer ink. This kind of ink made of disperse dyes will sublimate and dye the substrate at the transfer temperature. Good quality thermal sublimation ink is not easy to clog the nozzle, the color is realistic, and the stability is good.

4. Adjust the appropriate color concentration Adjust the color concentration in the computer to avoid the situation where too much ink is difficult to dry. After adjustment, you need to check the effect of thermal transfer.

5. Adjust the appropriate heat pressing temperature and time. The temperature range of heat transfer is about 180-230℃, and the time is about 10-30 seconds. Before the formal batch transfer, a small test should be done to determine the best process parameters.

6. The heat pressing surface must be close to the heat transfer surface, transfer paper, and substrate surface during heat transfer. There must be no gaps, otherwise the transfer image will be blurred.

7. Advantages of thermal sublimation transfer Thermal sublimation transfer images are bright and rich in color, and its effect is comparable to printing. Thermal sublimation transfer is to make the thermal transfer ink sublimate under high temperature and penetrate into the object, and after condensation, a bright and colorful image is formed. Therefore, thermal transfer products are durable and the image will not fall off, crack or fade. Remarks Thermal sublimation transfer is a new process that uses an inkjet printer equipped with thermal sublimation transfer ink to print portraits, landscapes, texts and other images on thermal sublimation transfer inkjet paper in a mirror image manner, and then heats it to about 200℃ through thermal transfer equipment to make the thermal transfer ink on the thermal sublimation paper sublimate and penetrate into the substrate, thereby realistically transferring the color image on the paper to textiles, porcelain cups, porcelain plates, porcelain boards, metals and other materials. When using thermal sublimation transfer inkjet paper, there is no film on the surface of the substrate, so the feel and visual effect of the pattern are far better than the method of using ordinary ink and transfer paper. Its colorful, non-fading, non-cracking and good air permeability advantages make thermal transfer products popular in the world today.
