How to store fast dry sublimation paper?
Jan 08, 2025
When storing fast dry sublimation paper, pay attention to the following points to ensure that its performance is not affected:
1. Choose a suitable storage environment
The ideal storage environment should be dry, cool, and well ventilated. In terms of humidity, it is recommended to control the relative humidity between 40%-60%. If the humidity is too high, the paper will easily absorb moisture, causing the coating to be damp, affecting the absorption and transfer effect of the ink, and may cause problems such as pattern blurring and color deviation. The temperature should be maintained at 15℃-25℃. Too high a temperature may accelerate the aging of the paper and the deterioration of the coating, while too low a temperature may make the paper brittle and easy to break during printing and transfer.
2. Use the correct packaging method
When the transfer paper is not used up, put it back into the original packaging, which usually has certain moisture-proof and dust-proof functions. If the original packaging is damaged, it can be packaged in a sealed plastic bag to isolate it from external moisture and dust. Avoid exposing the transfer paper directly to the air to prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the paper and affecting the printing quality.
3. Reasonable placement
When storing, the transfer paper should be placed flat to avoid being squeezed by heavy objects. If the paper is squeezed and deformed, it may cause paper jams during the printer feeding process or cause uneven patterns during transfer. At the same time, stay away from chemical reagents and volatile substances, because these substances may react chemically with the coating of the transfer paper and destroy the performance of the paper.
4. Pay attention to the shelf life
Even if the storage conditions are good, fast dry sublimation paper has a certain shelf life, generally 1-2 years. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life marked on the packaging, and give priority to using paper that is close to the shelf life to avoid the deterioration of paper performance due to expiration, such as reduced ink absorption capacity and poor transfer effect.
