Sublimation Transfer Printer-How to Get Long Lasting Quality Printout

When we are using dye sublimation printers, we all know that large sublimation inkjet printers are usually expensive, and the life of the printer is still very short. Are you still worried about that? you can extend the life of the printer by the following points：

Sublimation Ink

Choice of Ink

Two types of ink are mainly used in inkjet sublimation printers - dye based and pigments based inks. Inferior ink not only makes the picture that is played out poor, but also blocks the nozzle of the printer.

Choice of Paper 

Glossy papers and paper with optical brighteners can react badly to particles in the air and ultraviolet light. This will have a negative effect on the long term printout quality.

Sublimation Paper

The solution is to use sublimation transfer paper that has been developed to be more fade resistant than ordinary printer paper. A sublimation transfer paper is built up by different layers that all have their own purpose such as controlling the ink absorption, keeping moisture out, wrinkling resistance and creating a paper surface with the right characteristics and looks.

Light exposure

If you store your printouts in direct light they will fade with time, the more intense the light is the faster the fading process will be. The solution is to store your printouts in a dark, dry and cool place. Modern inks such as Epson,Mimaki,Kiian,Papijet, Inks are made to resist the effects of direct sunlight, ultraviolet light and incandescent light.

Air exposure

Dye sublimation printer with higher concentration of cyan color tones react badly to airborne chemicals and especially to ozone. The solution is to store them in a protected atmosphere which could mean storing them under plastic or glass. The plastic should be acid and lignin free in order to not react with the printout.

Heat and Humidity exposure

Sublimation Printer

Extensive heat will have an effect on both the heat transfer sublimation paper and the ink dissolving the printout in the worst case. To high humidity may cause dye based inks to "move". What happens is that individual colors (i.e. dyes) may move at a different speed making the color balance and sharpness of the printout to deteriorate. It's recommended that you store your printouts in a dry and cool temperature that doesn't fluctuate too much.
