Sublimation Transfer VS Film Transfer Technology, Which Materials Are Suitable for Them

The materials used in the process of film transfer technology and sublimation transfer technology are inconsistent. Do you know what materials they are suitable for? Please read on.

1. Sublimation printing pattern 

Sublimation Film

Sublimation printing pattern is a new method of various materials on commodities, especially suitable for the production of a small number of various personal and customized commodities, while printing full-color image contains patterns or pictures. The principle is the digital pattern through the printer with special transfer ink printed on special transfer paper, and then transfer to the special machine, the high temperature and high pressure of the precise pattern transferred to the surface of goods, complete the printing.

2. Sublimation Materials

Thermal transfer printing technology can also use a variety of different materials to achieve different printing effects, the most important is the film transfer and sublimation transfer.
Film transfer paper containing gum, and then to high temperature and pressure manner gum pattern printed on the surface of Goods.
Sublimation transfer is the next generation technology, using special sublimation ink and sublimation transfer paper. If transferred to clothes, the sublimation ink will go directly into the fabric. The dyed cloth is as strong as sharp and color, which is more suitable for color patterns

3. Sublimation transfer goods 

Not all goods can be thermal transfer printing patterns, involving the heat resistance of goods, smoothness,... And other factors.
Due to the progress of technology, the use of heat transfer technology has developed mature products including: clothes, bags, hats, pillows, mugs, ceramic tiles, watches, mouse pads, coasters, calendars, banners... Hundreds of products.  Cool Music Network will use the latest thermal transfer and other technologies continue to develop more personalized products, from head to toe, from wear to use, satisfy your desire for a unique heart.

4. Textile transfer

The common technology of textile transfer printing is film transfer and sublimation transfer printing.
(1) Sublimation transfer technology is mainly applicable to the surface of polyester fiber (polyester) clothes, such as fast exhaust sweat shirt and shirt physical comfort and the best (white position of the printed white clothes, but other parts of the clothes may be other colors, such as color sleeves). The use of digital sublimation of color clothing, ink and color fiber color fusion of the pattern and the original pattern is different, is not recommended.

(2) Film transfer technology is mainly used for clothes with Khmer content. All kinds of color can be thin film transfer, but the higher price of using dark clothes "special transfer paper dark clothes", the gum is heavier, the quality is less stable. Website of cruel music releases temporarily shift brunet dress, wait for technology to roll out hind more mature. Ceramic commodity transfer using sublimation transfer, in about 200 degrees Celsius high temperature, ink sublimation to the goods, bright color, strong pattern. But there is no direct transfer of the cup, it must be coated (coated)
with special treatment in order to transfer the pattern to it.
Choose the heat transfer sublimation paper or the transfer film according to the material you want to transfer. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact us.

Sublimation Transfer Printing-Do You Know What Factors Affect Its Quality?

In the sublimation transfer printing process, there are many factors that affect the quality of printing. Here are some of the main reasons to affect it.

1.What is dye sublimation printing?

Sublimation Transfer Printing

Dye sublimation printing, is a printing method for transferring images onto a substrate (usually a cloth material such as polyester). Sublimation refers to a process where a substance moves from a solid to a gas state without ever being in a liquid state. Textile sublimation printing normally involves the use of a digital printer to produce mirrored images on paper that has been specially coated with a transfer material.

2.What are the elements that affect the quality of inkjet sublimation printing?

(1).The ink

The sublimation ink is the key material digital sublimation printing technology. It is mainly composed of disperse dye, connection material, solvent and a small amount of additives. Dyes requires good sublimation transfer resistance and permeability. It has achieved the fastness.
Sublimation temperature is 180-240 ℃, and suitable for printing.The dye sublimation printing ink is the key material digital sublimation printing technology. Sublimation temperature is 180-240 ℃, then will be suitable for printing. The heat sublimation ink color is clear with good quality, the stability is strong and the transfer effect is good. At present, the ink have 2 kinds-water-based and solvent-based. The solvent thermal sublimation ink is mainly used in wide spraying machine. It solves the problem of inkjet printing speed and width. The sublimation ink quality directly affects the quality of the product. Therefore, choosing high quality thermal sublimation ink is very important.

(2).The temperature and time

The temperature and time thermal sublimation printing technology is to control the
temperature of 180 ~ 230 ℃ range. Transfer time is about 10-30s. At the same time also pay attention to the temperature and the reasonable allocation of time.

(3).The pressure

Pressure is also one of the important parameters of heat sublimation transfer printing technology. For example, if the pressure is too small, big gap will occur between fabric and transfer paper, then will occur yarn assumes the circular, ink gas molecule collisions with a lot of air and dissipation. It will lead to poor effect, also easy to ink bled, line coarsen and decorative pattern design, fuzzy, visual effect is worse. If pressure is appropriate , yarn is flat, and appropriate gap between transfer paper and transfer printing fabric shading effect will be good. The pattern is clear, smooth fine lines. If pressure is too large, it will prone to deformation, burr and morphological changes in thick fabric, shortcomings and so on superficial feel hard and staining.

Sublimation Printer

The above is the most important reason that affects the quality of sublimation transfer, so we should try to avoid it in the transfer process to achieve better transfer results.
