How to choose a jumbo roll sublimation paper
Jul 24, 2024
To choose a jumbo roll sublimation paper that suits you, you need to consider multiple aspects. Here are some suggestions:
1. Transfer effect:
Transfer rate: The higher the transfer rate, the better the effect of transferring the pattern from the transfer paper to the substrate, the brighter and more complete the color, and the ink can be saved. You can check the product description or ask the merchant for relevant data on the transfer rate, and try to choose products with a high transfer rate.
Color reproduction: High-quality thermal sublimation transfer paper can accurately restore the color of the pattern, so that the color of the transferred pattern is consistent with the design draft. If you have high requirements for color, such as making high-definition photos, artworks, etc., you should choose transfer paper with good color reproduction.
2. Paper characteristics:
Paper thickness: Transfer paper with moderate thickness is not easy to deform or wrinkle, and can remain flat during printing and transfer to ensure transfer quality. If it is used for large transfer projects that require multiple windings or handling, thicker transfer paper may be more durable; but if it is an application scenario that requires weight, such as lightweight clothing transfer, thinner transfer paper may be more suitable.
Drying speed: Transfer paper with fast drying speed can improve work efficiency and facilitate continuous printing, which is especially important for mass production or time-sensitive projects. You can understand the drying speed of the paper by checking the product description or conducting a small sample test.
Hygroscopicity: Appropriate hygroscopicity can ensure that the ink can be absorbed quickly and evenly, making the pattern print better. Poor hygroscopicity will cause the ink to smudge and affect the quality of the pattern; too strong hygroscopicity may make the paper wet, affecting the transfer effect and paper preservation.
3. Ink compatibility:
Different thermal sublimation transfer papers have different compatibility with inks. Choose transfer paper that matches the ink you use. Otherwise, problems such as poor ink penetration, smudges, and nozzle clogging may occur. If you are not sure about the compatibility of the transfer paper and ink, you can consult the merchant or conduct a small sample test.
4. Applicable materials:
Different jumbo roll sublimation papers are suitable for different substrate materials. For example, some transfer papers are suitable for synthetic materials such as chemical fiber and polyester fiber, while others are suitable for materials such as ceramics and metals. When choosing transfer paper, you should determine it according to your transfer needs and the material of the substrate.
5. Size specifications:
Choose the appropriate size specifications according to your printing equipment and transfer needs. The width, length and other dimensions of large rolls of thermal sublimation transfer paper vary. Make sure that the selected transfer paper is compatible with your equipment and can meet the project's usage requirements.
6. Brand and quality:
Choosing well-known brands and reliable quality transfer paper can ensure the stability and consistency of the product. You can refer to other users' reviews, brand reputation, and merchant credibility to choose the right brand.
