Inkjet Printer and Dye Sublimation Printer,Compare The Difference Between of Two

Do you know what is the difference between inkjet printer and dye sublimation printer?If you would like to know that,pls read on.


1.What is inkjet printing machine?

A inkjet printing machine is a computer peripheral that produces hard copy by spraying ink onto paper.A typical inkjet printing machine can produce copy with a resolution of at least 300 dots per inch ( dpi ).Some printers can make full color hard copies at 600 dpi or more.Many models include other devices such as a scanner,photocopier and dedicated fax machine along with the printer in a single box.

In the inkjet printing mechanism, the print head has several tiny nozzles, also called jets. As the paper moves past the print head, the nozzles spray ink onto it, forming the characters and images. 
The printer can produce from 100 to several hundred pages, depending on the nature of the hard copy, before the ink cartridges must be replaced. There is usually one black ink cartridge and one so-called color cartridge containing ink in primary pigments (cyan, magenta, and yellow). Some this printers use a single cartridge with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. A few models require separate cartridges for each primary pigment, along with a black ink cartridge.


2.What is dye sublimation printer

Digital sublimation transfer printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect. There is some liquefying of the dye. Since then, the process is sometimes known as dye-diffusion, though this has not eliminated the original name. Many consumer and professional sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more.


3.What is the difference between these two printers

The difference between of them are not only the quality of the photo prints but also the process used to create the photo. An ink-jet printing machine uses a printer cartridge that creates an image that is 300 x 300 dpi (dots per inch.) Most printer cartridge brands do not create a resolution that is true photo quality. Most customers also complain that the printer cartridge does not contain enough ink to print more than 20 or 25 photos before needing replacement.
The digital sublimation printers use a ribbon that can print at 5760 x 1440 dpi, and can print 16.77 million different colors. It can also print 256 colors on one dot with a square resolution. That means the color is the same on both sides. The ink-jet does not have this capability.
Some ink-jet manufacturers claim that their printer cartridges print photos that will last for centuries. However, customers have complained that the photos fade after only a few years, and if the photo gets wet--the colors run. It seems that almost all printer cartridge brands have this problem. In factory tests, the digital sublimation printers create an image that does not fade, and the colors do not run when wet. If a wet coffee cup is placed on the photos, it will not leave a ring.
Dye sublimation is a process that defuses the dye, not ink, onto the paper. The dye is in the form of a ribbon that creates a defused gas when heat is applied. The special receiving layer on the paper absorbs the dye. Using different heat settings to create the colors needed creates the different shades. The print head is capable of printing 256 different shades of each color. The dye is sealed onto the paper using a special over coating layer. This protects the image from fingerprints, water damage and UV light. As soon as the prints leave the printer, they are dry and ready to touch. This eliminates running, smudging and blotching of the colors.
Since dye sublimation printers can produce a continuous tone, the need for a higher resolution is not necessary. Sublimation can fool the human eye so that a resolution of 300 dpi will be equal to an ink-jet printing at 4800 dpi.
Dye sublimation, which is often shortened to dye sub, is known for high quality and continuous tone output. All graduations of color are used to create the continuous tone process. For example, when showing the scale from white to black, a continuous tone printer will print all the shades of gray that occur between true white and true black.
