Market demand for thermal sublimation transfer paper

The most commonly used printing methods in terms of market demand for thermal sublimation transfer paper are:
(1) Gravure printing machine printing disperse dyes, the advantages are: low printing paper cost, delicate pattern expression, strong layering, full flower pattern. Suitable for large-scale transfer printing production. Disadvantages: high plate making cost, insufficient competitiveness for small-scale personalized products

(2) Offset printing machine printing offset sublimation ink, use a printer to print sublimation ink, after natural drying, use this flower paper to transfer to the fabric that needs to be printed. Advantages: Because it uses PS plate printing, the plate fee is low, and the plate fee cost is also low, which is suitable for small-scale product printing. Disadvantages: The depth of color after printing is difficult to control well. If you want to do thermal transfer printing on clothing, you have to think about it, because any piece of clothing is made of at least two pieces of cloth. Imagine: if the color of the front and back pieces of the clothing is very different, how can this clothing be sold? How can it be worn?

(3) Digital thermal transfer, advantages: The pattern expression is more delicate than any other transfer printing, the layering is very strong, the pattern is extremely full, and because it is plateless printing, it completely eliminates the problems of color inaccuracy or plate jam brought by other printing methods. Disadvantages: Although there is no plate fee, the cost of printing ink and paper is high. So far, it is only suitable for transfer printing of small batches of personalized products.

(4) Silk-screen sublimation ink, this transfer printing method has low plate making cost and low-priced sublimation ink, but because the printing plate is a silk screen plate, burrs are generated on the edge of the pattern, which is not suitable for printing delicate patterns such as figures and landscapes.
