Water-based sublimation ink and oil ink, How to distinguish them?

The Water-based  ink includes sublimation ink and eco-solvent ink, and the oil ink includes pigment ink, the former ink needs to be transferred to the object by a medium, and the latter ink can be directly sprayed on the fabric to be printed. Do you know how to distinguish the difference between the two?

Water-based Sublimation Ink

Water-based sublimation ink, also known as water-based thermal transfer ink, is a low-energy, easily sublimated disperse dye made into digital printing ink, and then printed on transfer paper. By heating, an image can be produced in the shortest amount of time. Exquisite porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber fabrics and other materials. It is ideally suited to the market needs and environmental requirements of individual development.
Since the aqueous sublimation ink is an aqueous ink, it is mainly produced by a composite grinding process from a water-based resin, an organic pigment, a solvent, and related additives. Water-based inks are especially suitable for packaging and printing products with strict hygienic conditions, such as tobacco, wine, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, children's toys, etc.
The main difference between aqueous inks and oily inks is the different solvents, one being water as a solvent and the other being an organic solvent as a solvent.

The difference between the two inks is as follows:

1. Water-based ink is prepared from water-based resin, soluble in water and diluted with water. The advantage of water-based ink is that it does not require organic solvents, reduces solvent evaporation, prevents air pollution, does not affect human health, and is not easy to burn. It is an environmentally friendly ink. Oil-based inks and solvent-based inks are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, but these organic solvents react with certain substances in the air to cause pollution.
2. Water-based sublimation transfer ink, stability and can make the color bright. The price is cheap, the adhesion after printing is good, the drying is fast, and the water resistance is strong. Oil inks are characterized by high ink viscosity, fast drying, water resistance, softness and light fastness. When used, ink is more economical and saves costs.

3. Water-based inks are commonly used in food, medicine, beverage and other industries, and the packaging and printing industry is also widely used. Oil-based inks are mainly used in metals, plastics, wood, aluminum foil, carton and building materials.
4. Oil-based inks can be diluted with organic solvents and printed on absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces. It is not easy to fade after printing. Aqueous inks cannot be diluted with organic solvents.

Refill Sublimation Ink -How to Check And Deal With The Flow Frequency of It

When we using a sublimation printing machine, sometimes there is a refill sublimation ink blocking the nozzle, or the device leaks inkjet. Do you know why?
Nowadays, many inkjet printers use Epson 5th generation print heads. At the same time, piezoelectric inkjet printers also have many problems. If the ink refill ink jet printer after the poor fluency, printing in the tens of centimeters may appear after a short-term situation.

1.Air plug:

The dye sublimation inks used in today's piezoelectric inkjet printers are water-based dye inks that bubble up during ink replenishment. Because the ink pump in the ink pump will be sent to the process of the ink and bubble together. You can start a head test.When you see the ink out of the whole, the air bubble in ink print pictures.

Refill Sublimation Ink

At this point, the bubble in the ink is not completely out of the ink, due to pressure, there will be some very small bubble in the ink. When ink is sprayed during printing, bubbles build up at the nozzle. A large number of small bubbles form large bubbles that block the nozzle and form air plugs. This causes the ink to break after a certain period of time during printing. This can happen when you are just replacing ink or installing a new machine.

(1).Solution: 

fill the cartridge with ink. Before printing, let the ink at the nozzle print out and leave the machine for 20-30 minutes. This removes the smallest bubbles in the ink and minimizes the possibility of gas clogging.

(2). Inspection methods

After injecting 25ml to 30ml of sublimation transfer ink into the nozzle, inhale air from the pipe to install the sprinkler head. Then place the sprinkler three seconds above the cart and turn it upside down. There will be bubbles rising inside the sprinkler head. If the bubble rises and slowly stops, it is normal. If it rises and does not stop, the device is judged to be leaking.

2.Leakage phenomenon

When painting pictures, bubbles will not enter the nozzle; The foam is back; Serious ink accumulation in nozzle hole; The contact belt is stained with ink; Ink will break when painting pictures.

Sublistar Sublimation Ink

Solution: The above phenomenon is installation hole leakage. Excessive force may be present during installation. Then open the nozzle mounting hole. We can cover the nozzle mounting hole with the middle hole of the bicycle inner tube to brighten the ink needle.
Be careful when installing and using water-based sublimation ink, follow the instructions.

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.

Eco-Solvent Ink-How to Distinguish Its Quality and Choose It Better

Eco-solvent inks are mostly used in indoor and outdoor advertising industries. This kind of ink is green and environmentally friendly. It is an excellent choice for advertisers.

The definition

Eco-solvent ink also known as light-solvent ink, takes longer to dry, which entails less maintenance for the printer itself. The ink is able to print on a variety of uncoated

Eco-solvent ink

surfaces and maintain its bright colors. Once printed, the ink will be waterproof and resistant to scratches. Your graphic will last up to three years before the color begins to fade. When using this ink, there will be a wide range of colors available. In addition to standard CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) inks, you may have the additional option of adding green, white, violet, orange, light magenta, light black and light cyan. Depending on your printer, you may have the opportunity to print in metallic shades. If you print on vinyl, your graphic will require a layer of white ink in order to keep your graphic visible in front of a direct light source. It is best for trade show graphics, window hangings, banners and vinyl graphics.

How to Discern the Quality?

1. Ink purity

Depend on the PH value, water content, impurities of the ink can identify high-quality inks. Low purity ink have great damage on print head.

2. Do not wipe print head frequently

Do not frequently wipe the print head when you use high quality ink. It is a waste of ink, but also easy to produce color, thus affecting your resolution of the ink. 

3. the performance of high-quality ink

High-quality ink is not flammable explosion and low damage to the human body. Most importantly, high-quality this ink with light and weather resistance, outdoor painting can withstand long-term sun, the seasons will not change the color difference.

4.The way to buy inks

It is recommended to go to a well-known store or a cooperative company to buy this ink. For example, like Nanjing Feiyue Digital Technology Co.,LTD, our ink is green and color fast, and the degree of washing is 4-5,wide gamut,good transfer rate.High compatibility,suitable for the printer equipped with dx5,ftp,dx7,5113,4720 print heats.

How to use the inks better?

1. Because of some characteristics of the this ink itself, the selection of CISS system should be particularly careful. Sometimes,the outer ink cartridge leaks when people use the ink and then the elbow connecting the ink pipeline blockages,and eventually lead to sprinkler printing broken line.Therefore,it is necessary to remember ink should be used with corrosion resistant cartridges,especially for desktop printers. If the equipment is not used for a long time, attention should be paid to the cleaning of the nozzle part so as to avoid the clogging of the nozzle caused by the volatilization and solidification of residual ink.

2.Water-based eco-solvent ink can be coat-free printing on some materials, or can be coat-free by means of printer heating, but for some smooth surfaces, ink can not be printed on by itself and will accumulate together which will lead to a unclear image.

Eco-solvent printer

This inks are generally used in the advertising industry,If you want to use in the clothing and home industries, sublimation inks are more suitable.

Original Epson Ink-Why People Would Like to Choose it?

As we all know, Original Epson inks are only available for Epson printers,although it is more expensive than compatible inks,there are still many people who choose it.

Why should you buy Original ink?

It is designed to give your prints a longer print life. Instead of using heat, Epson printers use a revolutionary technology; each nozzle has what is a called a piezoelectric crystal. As the crystal gets charged by a current, it pushes a tiny drop of ink. This happens thousands of times to complete the entire print.

Original Epson Ink

It is relatively cheaper than other brands because Epson printers have built in print heads, unlike other cartridges that cost more as they include their own print heads. Additionally, Epson ink cartridges come with'Smart Valve technology'which ensures that the printer head releases ink at a stable, even pace which leads to a smoother printing result.
It ink comes in a variety of different cartridges to suit the needs of any user. They've got high-capacity ink cartridges if you run a large office and need many prints fast or smaller ink cartridges for occasional printing from home. In all cases you can be assured of excellent printing quality.

The benefit of using original ink

Superior Image Quality

For photos as vivid as your memories. The inks are the highest quality inks you can put in an Epson printer. Years of research and development have gone into their formulation. The results are inks designed specifically to work with your printer, delivering stable long-lasting quality photos that cannot be matched by third party inks.

Genuine Epson Ink

Longer Print Life

For brilliant photos that last and last. Permanence, or how long a photo will last before noticeably fading when exposed to light, is where third party inks are 'pale' in comparison to Epson inks. In a recent study, Henry Wilhelm a leading authority on photo longevity, projected them to last for up to 92 years¹ when used with Epson paper.

Greater Reliability

Because we value your time as much as you do. All inkjet printers provide print head nozzle cleaning cycles to ensure reliable ink flow. Ink is consumed in these cleaning cycles. According to a study conducted by a research, Epson ink cartridges require up to 260% fewer user-initiated cleaning cycles than third party ink cartridges.

Unbeatable Value

More prints per ink cartridge. The research stated Genuine Epson ink "consistently outperformed third party ink brands" when it came to the number of prints per cartridge. The study showed that they can produce up to 114 more pages per black ink cartridge and 19 more pages per colour cartridge than the tested third party brands.
