Sublimation transfer printing and digital sublimation transfer printing,how to distinguish them?

When it comes to sublimation transfer printing and digital thermal transfer, many people will confuse the concept of the two, in fact, there is a difference between them. This article will introduce it.

Sublimation Transfer Printing

1. Thermal transfer two printing methods thermal transfer has two printing methods, one is sublimation (model gallery used) transfer method, one is thermoset transfer mode, sublimation means refers to the use of heat up The color paste produced by the disperse dye is printed on the printing paper by screen or gravure, and the pattern on the printing paper is transferred onto the desired medium. The thermosetting transfer method refers to the use of thermosetting ink (also known as hot melt adhesive). After printing the printed paper with screen printing, the pattern on the printing paper is transferred to the products such as t-shirts and garments. The two printing methods have obvious differences in application. The sublimation transfer method is mainly applied to chemical fiber fabrics and coated with heat. On the hard material of the transfer coating, the thermosetting transfer method is mainly applied to the pure cotton product. The difference in texture between the two printing methods is that the sublimation (the second-hand model of the model) does not change the original texture of the material after the transfer, and the feel and look are good. After the thermosetting pattern is transferred, a layer of gel is formed on the surface of the attached object, which is inferior in hand and airtight. The two printing methods have their own advantages and disadvantages in production and production, each with its own characteristics.
2. What is thermal transfer: Generally speaking, thermal transfer is a transfer technology and product that uses a thermal transfer device (such as sublimation ink,sublimation paper and subliamtion printer) to heat the pattern and image on the thermal transfer paper to 180c0- -230c0 transfer printing technology on different material media, thermal transfer technology was first applied in the textile printing and dyeing industry, shoe industry. Later, with the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the application fields are increasing. Especially the emergence of digital technology and the emergence of personalized consumption concepts have made the application of thermal transfer technology more popular and extensive. The application products are endless and cover almost all material fields. . For example, metal, wood, stone, ceramic, glass, pvc, leather, chemical fiber fabrics can be transferred to beautiful patterns and images using thermal transfer technology to produce and produce exquisite products.

3. The traditional sublimation thermal transfer of several technical methods Traditional sublimation thermal transfer technology has three kinds: silk screen thermal transfer, gravure (copper plate, electric engraving version) thermal transfer, offset thermal transfer. The traditional sublimation thermal transfer feature is printed.

 Sublimation Printing

4. Digital thermal transfer digital thermal transfer is based on the traditional sublimation thermal transfer combined with digital printing technology to print pattern images in a non-printed form of a new technology (model library used second-hand). It is characterized by the application of digital printing technology to print color patterns and images without plate making, saving plate making process and cost, so it is suitable for the production of personalized products.

The technical feature of digital thermal transfer is that digital printing machine uses dedicated thermal transfer color printing ink and thermal transfer printing paper.
