Can I Use Water Based Sublimation Ink In A Normal Paper?

In the sublimation printing process, the most commonly used is sublimation paper and water based sublimation ink, but considering the price of sublimation, many people want to replace the sublimation paper with ordinary paper. Is this method feasible?

Water-based Sublimation Ink

On this question, first, let us understand the particularity of dye sublimation ink and sublimation paper. The basic principle of sublimation printing is sublimation, using sublimation printing ink high temperature sublimation to complete the transfer of ink. In the meantime, sublimation transfer paper is sublimation dye ink temporary carrier.
Sublimation printing ink is unique, especially suitable for sublimation industry, and ordinary ink is very different. Sublimation printing ink is often used with sublimation paper, which has a sublimation coating and a rough surface. So, can sublimation transfer ink be used with regular paper? If so, what to do?
As we all know, the surface of ordinary printing paper is fine and smooth, tactile good, but without good recovery ability, most of the ink will infiltrate into the paper, even after heating is difficult to transfer.....So,if you use regular paper and sublimation textile ink, the problem is that only a portion of the sublimation printer ink is transferred to the product, which affects the saturation and clarity of the image, and eventually the image will look blurry.

Sublimation Ink

From the above analysis, ordinary paper can not complete sublimation printing. In addition, the heating time also affects the final image clarity. When using sublimation transfer paper for printing, due to its good reducibility, there will be a bright image, the heating time is relatively short. If we use plain paper, the color transfer will be reduced in the traditional heating time. In general, we provide the heating time is the use of sublimation paper time. Therefore, if ordinary paper is used, it is inevitable to extend the heating time, but the time is difficult to control.
To sum up, if you want to use sublimation ink with ordinary paper, it must be appropriate to extend the heating time, and deepen the printing color, to ensure a certain success rate. But often we can not determine the effect of printing, so we still recommend that you use sublimation paper for printing, please do not waste sublimation blank because of saving money, it will not be worth it.
