How to judge the quality of jumbo roll sublimation paper

Dec 25, 2024

To judge the quality of jumbo roll sublimation paper, you can start from the following aspects:

 

1. Appearance

Flatness: The surface of high-quality sublimation paper should be flat and smooth, without obvious wrinkles, bumps or bubbles. If there is unevenness, it may cause paper jams during printing and affect the transfer effect.

Color: Normal sublimation paper should have uniform color, without yellowing, blackening or other color spots. Uneven color may mean that the paper is improperly handled during the production process, which will affect the color reproduction.

Edge: The edges of good sublimation paper rolls are neat, without burrs, missing corners or tears. Uneven edges may cause problems such as paper pulling and damage to printer components during use.

 

2. Physical properties

Gram weight: Generally speaking, sublimation paper with a larger gram weight has relatively higher thickness and strength, and can better withstand the pressure during printing and transfer. The gram weight should meet the specifications marked on the product.

Stiffness: Pick up the paper by hand and feel its stiffness. Sublimation paper with good stiffness is not easy to bend and deform, and can remain stable during the paper feeding process of the printer, which helps to improve printing accuracy.

Water absorption: drop a drop of water on the surface of the paper and observe the penetration of the water drop. High-quality sublimation paper has moderate water absorption, which can quickly absorb ink without excessive diffusion of ink, which is conducive to ensuring the clarity and color saturation of printing.

 

3. Printing transfer effect

Color reproduction: print some colorful patterns or photos and observe the effect after printing. Good quality sublimation paper can accurately restore the color of the image, with bright and realistic colors, without obvious color cast or fading.

Clarity: The edges of text and images should be clear and sharp, without blur, ghosting or smudge. Sublimation paper with high clarity can make the transferred pattern more detailed and the effect better.

Transfer firmness: transfer the printed paper, and then check the firmness of the pattern transferred to the fabric or other materials. The pattern after transfer of high-quality sublimation paper should not fall off or fade easily, and should be tightly combined with the material.
