Inkjet sublimation transfer paper to prevent the production of ghosting treatment

When inkjet sublimation transfer paper is transferred, sometimes the product is ghosted. Do you know what to do when there is a ghost? Here are some ways for your reference.

 Inkjet Sublimation Transfer Paper

1 Reduce the rate of rise. We can adjust the cylinder (or hydraulic cylinder) speed control valve (throttle valve or throttle valve) on the flat heat transfer press, and close the valve that controls the pressure plate to lower, so that the speed of the pressure plate is slowed down. When the platen is lifted, the paper and the cloth are not easily sucked up together, so that the problem of ghosting caused by the secondary transfer can be avoided.
2 Four-corner water method. If the sublimation transfer paper is smaller than the fabric, you can apply a little water (a small dot, ≤0.5 cm2) on the 4th corner of the transfer paper without printing pattern, then cover the transfer on the fabric, where the water is transferred and the fabric is transferred. Bonding, after transfer, will not produce a ghost of secondary transfer with the fabric misalignment. If there is a burnt yellow color on the fabric after transfer, it can be wiped off with water.
3 Coverage method. If the transfer paper is larger than the fabric and can cover the surface of the fabric, then the paper and fabric are generally not sucked up by the hot pressing plate. This is because the physical reason for the suction is the electrostatic effect of the fabric. When the paper covers the fabric, the fabric is cut off. The electrostatic action on the top will not be sucked up and dropped for secondary transfer.

 Fast Dry Sublimation Paper

4 Use a special adhesive sublimation paper. In order to avoid ghosting, the best way is to use special adhesive transfer paper. The adhesive transfer paper will be glued to the fabric during transfer, so that no matter how the paper and fabric are sucked up and down, the paper and the fabric are always attached. Together, the possibility of shifting to produce ghosting is eliminated, and the use of adhesive paper can greatly improve the convenience of operation and the yield of mass production.

How to better store sublimation paper roll with a fixed shelf life

In order to save the cost of sublimation printing, many companies buy a lot of sublimation paper roll in advance. But sometimes improper storage will cause the sublimation to become damp, which will affect the effect of printing pictures. Do you know how to store the sublimation paper?

How long can the sublimation transfer paper be saved?

Sublimation Paper

From the current point of view, master the inkjet sublimation transfer paper on the storage method to help everyone in the daily use of the process more secure and convenient. In general, in the purchase of the transfer of paper, you need to observe the packaging to see if there are signs of crushing, if the carton appeared deformation, it is easy to affect the overall effect of the paper roll, so that the quality of printing Is not satisfactory. So in the usual preservation period, need to place in a ventilated place, to ensure that the transfer paper during use, reduce unnecessary trouble and distress.

Also note that the inkjet sublimation transfer paper in the shelf life of only seven months, so the user in the hoard goods to reduce the cost of spending, the most important thing is to do ahead of the amount, will use the plan and the actual procurement The amount of more effective to measure, to help everyone in the operation and application stage more at ease, to meet the real needs of many users to ensure the use of high quality of the embodiment.

Here are some tips to store sublimation paper

1.Do not store in the open air, avoid rain, and try to raise digital sublimation paper with the board to avoid the paper being affected by the moisture on the ground.

2.The humidity in the air has a great impact on the paper, the paper easily absorbs or loses moisture, seriously affecting its quality. Therefore, please store the digital heat transfer paper in a clean, dry environment, and do not stack it against the wall.

3.Maintain in a cool and dry place to avoid the direct sunlight, because it will fade and yellow when exposed to light, then it can’t be used. In addition, the exposed paper evaporates moisture and the moisture content changes, causing the paper to become brittle or deformed.

4.To avoid the damp, stack horizontally in 15-20 cm from the ground, and stacked layers should not exceed the outer carton marked the 8th floor.

Sublimation Paper Roll

5.pay attention to the temperature of the storage environment, If the temperature is too high, it will cause the strength of the paper to drop, so the temperature of the storage environment is also critical.

6.The ideal storage conditions are relative humidity 40-70% RH, temperature 10-30 ℃. So an invariable temperature environment and humidity of the air-conditioned room will be better.

The storage environment in which sublimation is carried out is the key to preserving dye sublimation paper roll. Please ensure that the environment for sublimation storage meets the above conditions.

Heat transfer sublimation paper-how can I distinguish right side of it?

When we bought the heat transfer sublimation paper, sometimes it was impossible for the novice to figure out which side is the correct print surface. If the print is wrong, the desired image cannot be obtained.

There are some tips to distinguish right side of sublimation transfer paper:

1. Fell the paper, the printing side will be more smooth than the other side.

2. Wet your thumb and forefinger and pressing paper into one of its ends, the right side to sublimate it will be stick more firmly to the finger and this is because it is the side containing the polymer layer that makes it ideal for sublimated.
3. Nowadays, in order to make the unti-curl sublimation paper, we will have a back coating. If you buy this kind of paper, you will find the color in both sides are different. You can ask your supplier which side is correct.

Textile sublimation paper is the highest quality paper that is available in the market. It transfers the ink to the garment on the molecular level so that the image printed is resistant to fading, cracking and even peeling. It is a bit expensive from the other types of transfer papers but if you are using a sublimation printing machine, then you should use this transfer paper for producing the best types of results.

What Happens If I Use The Incorrect Side of Sublimation Paper?

Sublimation Paper

Well, the answer is obvious; you won't be able to get the image on the T-shirt after you heat press the T-shirt and sublimation paper together.. This is because the chemical that is responsible for binding the color dye to the T-shirt is on the other side of the sublimation paper. It is therefore imperative that you determine the right side of the sublimation paper before you plan to print an image on your T-shirt.

So when we are using inkjet sublimation paper, we must distinguish which side is the correct print surface.

How to deal with digital sublimation paper absorb water unevenness in different humidity environment

Sublimation printing needs to be carried out under a certain humidity environment. The degree of drying of the digital sublimation paper is the key to the success of the sublimation pattern printing. When encountering the following different humidity environments, please solve the problem according to the situation.

Digital Sublimation Paper

1.The humidity of the printing environment is best controlled at 45~ 70% RH, such as the air is too dry easy to make the heat transfer sublimation paper warp, when the ink transfer film elongation and arch may cause friction nozzle failure; For example, too wet air will lead to transfer paper ends of the drying speed and elongation reduction. Please install and turn on the air conditioner in the inkjet printing room. The inkjet printing can be stabilized under stable environmental conditions. If there is no air conditioning constant temperature and humidity, the solution is to take out the transfer paper 1-2 days before printing plastic bags, the paper is exposed to the air, balance the moisture transfer of the paper, the purpose of this is to transfer printing paper absorb water and pre-stretch, in order to avoid too much transfer paper can not absorb the printing ink and elongate the arch.
2.When the environment humidity is very large, because the water is not evenly on both sides, the base paper layer of transfer paper may not be consistent, in this case the elongated design will be skewed or stuck, and can be placed remedial measures between the feeding side and unwinding roller have a clean steel pipe, in the pipe ends of a proper weight and keep the transfer paper smooth and proper tension.
3.When the sublimation transfer paper absorbs too much water in the air, the paper becomes very soft, so it is easy to pick up the paper roll wrinkle. The solution is to remove some paper picking wheels, reducing the force to keep the printer flat.
4.In order to confirm the printing surface of the transfer paper, the printing surface of the full roll of paper is super external. When the printing surface cannot be determined, fingers can be stained with water respectively. Heavy is the printing surface of the transfer paper on both sides.
5.When placing transfer paper on the printer, take a muslin glove to prevent the paper from getting dirty.
6.In the case of a new reel, it is safe to print a small piece of standard color (standard color is a common pattern made up of four or six colors familiar to the user by CMYK) and perform transfer tests to ensure that each color scrolls the same color. If obvious color appears, find out the reason and eliminate it in time.

7.In the printing process to do test dye sublimation paper, ensure that the nozzle ink smooth, make the pattern color consistent, avoid local nozzle blockage and printing defects.
8.Print printer's built-in heater and set the appropriate temperature, or turn on the external air drying equipment, print the ink volume on the printing surface when printing. Make sure that the scrolling process does not stain the back of the print to avoid defects.

The Dye Sublimation Paper Curl Up,Do You Know Why and How To Solve It?

In the process of sublimation printing, the dye sublimation paper curling is a common and troublesome phenomenon. Do you know why and how to solve it？

What cause the dye sublimation paper curl up?

1. PAPER QUALITY

Paper quality is important when printing. Factors which affect quality include: stiffness,smoothness, electrical resistivity, friction coefficient, curl moisture, flatness, millwork, porosity and composition. The usual basic weight for paper is 75grams per squared meter.Good manufacturing processes keep this weight 99% of the time, however there is no single set of paper qualities that are optimum for all printing machines. You can find the optimum paper for your printer using the printer manual or visiting the manufacturer website.

(1)The width of the paper

The width of paper may, in some point, have a connection with the curling of paper after the printing process, but technically speaking, it affects a little in the real operations.

(2)The thickness of paper

Generally speaking, the thinner the paper, the easier the paper might be curled, and that is why most American users would choose to use low-weight sublimation papers. But thinner paper, like 45gsm, 60gsm can also perform very well with some famous printers, like Epson,Mimaki etc. This depends in deed.

2.  STORAGE OF PAPER

Dye sublimation paper

Paper should be stored in a cool dry place to avoid it from becoming damp prior to printing. Paper has a tendency to absorb moisture from its environment.Leaving paper in the tray for long periods of time may also cause it to curl. If it is left in the tray it is advised that the stack is flipped over and turned 180 degrees before printing.Paper should also be fanned before being put into the tray to separate the sheets of paper. They often get'stuck' together which can cause problems within the printer.Under normal conditions,we should keep humidity between 40%-60% . Never too high or too low.

3. FUSER

Curling can be caused by heat. If the fuser was too hot while the paper passed through, then the paper would curl.If your printer is old, it is advisable that it is serviced. Temperature controls within the fuser rollers degrade over time, so the fuser may be too hot, resulting in the paper curling too much. Cooler temperatures reduce the moisture loss and therefore reduce the curl.

4. INK LOAD

If the ink system allows or requires to load much inks, the paper would have to absorb too much inks, which makes the paper extremely wet, causing the paper curled easily.

Here are some tips help you to solve this problem:

1.Use high quality sublimation base paper

Our premium sublimation transfer paper uses advanced sublimation base paper (not offset). This base paper is made from natural wood pulp (softwood and hardwood), with a longer fiber length and a more flexible fiber than offset paper. So performance and scalability better. Better performance and scalability help reduce the possibility of curling.

2.Anti-curl coating

Base paper has two sides: felt surface and wire surface. The smooth surface of the base paper is usually felt face. The web side of the base paper is generally considered to be rough. Sublimation heat transfer paper is usually printed on only one side. Therefore, the sublimation heat transfer paper need only have a sublimation ink-receptive coating on the side that receives and fixes the sublimation ink. So smoother side will be coated with sublimation coating. The wire side can be uncoated or can have a coating on it.

Sublimation printing

However, if the paper is coated on one side only, the structure is unstable and balanced and the tendency of the paper to curl increases. Therefore, the second method of preventing the problem of curling is to coat the functional coating on the wire side. Functional coatings, also known as anti-curl coatings, provide enhanced stability of sublimation transfer paper.

In order to avoid bending the inkjet sublimation paper, it is necessary to solve the problem from the source, but even if you do it according to the above method, the sublimation paper will bend more or less during the transfer, so it cannot be said that 100% is not bent. It can only be said to avoid bending as much as possible.
