How to extend the shelf life of jumbo roll sublimation paper

Oct 09, 2024

1. Optimize the storage environment
Control the temperature: Store the transfer paper in an environment with a relatively stable temperature, the ideal temperature is between 15℃ - 25℃. Avoid placing it near heat sources, such as heaters, direct sunlight, etc., to prevent excessive temperature from causing changes in paper performance.
Adjust humidity: Keep the relative humidity of the storage environment at 40% - 60%. A dehumidifier or humidifier can be used to adjust the humidity to prevent the transfer paper from getting damp due to high humidity or becoming brittle due to low humidity.
Keep ventilation: The storage place should be well ventilated to avoid dirty and humid air. But be careful to avoid strong wind blowing directly on the transfer paper to avoid damage to the paper.


2. Proper packaging
Preserve in original packaging: If possible, try to keep the original packaging of the transfer paper. The original packaging usually has certain moisture-proof, dust-proof and anti-static functions, which can provide better protection for the transfer paper.
Sealed packaging: If the transfer paper has been opened for use, it can be sealed in a plastic bag or sealed bag to prevent air, moisture and dust from entering. A desiccant can be placed in the sealed bag to further absorb moisture.
Avoid squeezing: When storing transfer paper, avoid squeezing large rolls. You can place it on a flat shelf or use a dedicated roll holder to ensure that the paper does not deform.


3. Proper use and handling
Handle with care: When using transfer paper, handle it with care to avoid rough operation that may cause paper damage. During printing and transfer, ensure that the equipment runs smoothly and reduce friction and pulling on the paper.
Avoid contamination: Prevent the transfer paper from contacting pollutants such as oil and chemicals to avoid affecting the performance of the paper. Before printing, ensure that the printer nozzle is clean to avoid ink contamination of the paper.
Use in time: Try to use the transfer paper within the shelf life and avoid long-term storage. If the transfer paper is stored for too long, its performance may gradually decline even under good storage conditions.
