Methods to improve the compatibility of ECO sublimation paper with ink

May 21, 2025

1. Choose A Suitable Ink

Choose special ink: Be sure to use ink designed for sublimation transfer. This type of ink is optimized for the characteristics of ECO sublimation paper during research and development, and its composition is more compatible with the paper. For example, the special sublimation ink of a well-known brand has uniform and fine pigment particles, which can be quickly and evenly absorbed by the paper, and can accurately present the color of the pattern during subsequent thermal transfer. Ordinary inkjet ink cannot meet the needs and is prone to problems such as blurring and color deviation.

Control the quality of ink: Give priority to products with reliable quality and a good reputation. Poor quality ink contains impurities or unstable ingredients, and is easy to condense and precipitate when in contact with paper. You can refer to product parameters, user reviews, and professional evaluations to judge that high-quality ink has high color fastness and strong stability, which is conducive to working with paper to present a long-lasting and bright transfer effect.

 

2. Maintain Paper Quality

Store paper correctly: Place ECO sublimation paper in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. A humid environment causes the paper to absorb water, changing its physical properties and affecting the absorption of ink; high temperature may cause the coating to age and deteriorate. It is recommended to seal the original packaging and store it in a special paper storage cabinet to avoid direct sunlight and dust.

Check the condition of the paper: Check the paper carefully before use to ensure that the surface is flat, without defects, wrinkles, or uneven coating. If there is a problem with the paper, even with high-quality ink, the compatibility will be affected. If quality problems are found, replace it in time to ensure the transfer effect.

 

3. Optimize Environmental Conditions

Regulate temperature and humidity: The temperature and humidity of the printing and transfer environment have a significant impact. The ideal temperature is 20℃ - 25℃, and the relative humidity is 40% - 60%. High temperature and high humidity make the ink viscous and poor in fluidity, making it difficult to distribute evenly; low temperature and low humidity can easily cause the ink to dry up and the nozzle to clog. You can use air conditioning, dehumidifiers, or humidifiers to adjust and create suitable conditions.

Keep the environment clean: The printing area should be tidy to prevent dust and impurities from mixing into the ink or adhering to the paper. Dust interferes with the flow of ink and affects the transfer effect. Clean the printer, work surface, and paper storage area regularly to reduce the negative impact on the environment of the ink compatibility.
