sublimation printing

 When people buy the sublimation paper , they always take the drying speed into consideration. Because it is an important indicator to judge the quality of the sublimation paper you buy. But have you ever wondered why you sublimation paper dry slowly?   1.Sublimation paper    Sublimation paper is the common factor lead to dry problem. Sometimes people will find that the paper are very hard to dry. Then you have to check whether the paper you buy is fast dry sublimation paper or not. For example, the sticky paper will dry slower than normal paper. So, you can have a test before purchasing.   2. The inappropriate operation   The inappropriate operation is another factor. The drying time is related with the printing temperature and the relative humidity, normally the recommended printing temperature is 25℃  (77℉) . And relative humidity is 53%.   If the temperature is to low, we can’t provide enough heat to make the paper dry fast. At the same time, if the humidity i

  We usually define the large format inkjet printer as the printer over 42”in width. According to some surveys, near 85% of sublimators are using small format inkjet printer now. But as a supplier of sublimation printer, i think the large format printer will have a further development in the near future.    1. The costs   Why many people choose the small format printer? The main reason is the cost. Many companies believe that the economics of wide format sublimation is an important factors which need to be taken into consideration.   There is a wrong opinion that people think the cost of large format inkjet printer will cost more, because you have to buy a large format heat press machine at the same time. Generally speaking,not all wide format printing needs a large format heat press.   Besides, manufactures want the increased production capabilities and they are also going to drastically reduce the cost of ink and paper.   So, the costs can’t be a reason why yo

  Sublimation ink is an essential part of sublimation printing. Many people all complain about the high costs of buying the sublimation ink, but have you ever pay attention to save your ink during the process of sublimation printing?   As we all know, the inappropriate operations can lead to the waste of sublimation paper and sublimation ink or something else. But as long as we pay attention to some little details, we will save a lot of money, especially the sublimation ink.   1. Maintain your printer regularly   Good Inkjet printer usually has a better performance than bad one, and new inkjet printer usually have a better performance than the old one. So, no matter what printer you buy, try to maintain your printer regularly, only when your printer work well, it can help you save the ink.    2. Don’t turn off the printer frequently   If you need to print several times everyday, i don’t suggest you turn off the printer once you finished a printing tasks. It

    We usually divide sublimation paper into 2 types: the roll sublimation paper and the sheet sublimation paper. Both of them are very common in the market. Today, we will discuss the instructions of sheet transfer paper.   The common sheet paper are in A3, A4 size, but some customers will customized sheet transfer paper in other sizes. But according to our experiences, the weight of paper should be as heavy as possible when in sheet size, especially the A3, A4 size. Because the low-weight transfer paper are easy to crimp after cutting, it will influence the printing quality and damage the print heads.   When we choose the sheet transfer paper, we usually use the flat heat press machine to transfer the images. Here are some suggestions when printing with sheet transfer paper.   1. Do many tests before mass production, and make sure the pressure, time and the temperature are appropriate.   2. Pre-transfer but also on the dye sublimation transfer paper patterns

 For sublimation printing, the sublimation ink is an essential part. But have you ever wondered why we must use sublimation ink ? In other words, do you know how sublimation ink works?   We can describe how sublimation ink works through the process of sublimation printing.   First, designs the exact piece of artwork on their computer by means of any graphical design software they want. Such as Wasatch Softrip.   Then, print the image to the transfer paper with the sublimation ink. Sublimation inks are on the whole a formulation of an assortment of coloured dyes pending in liquids that are able to surpass through a digital printer.   Finally, move the image from the transfer paper to the desired entity. During this process, the inks translate from a solid to a gas and go through into the substrates plane with the heat and pressure functional.   Compared with other printing methods, use sublimation ink can transfer the images clearly and firmly. And sublimat

  There are all kinds of heat press machine in the market now, they have different sizes, different shapes and different applications. For people who want to buy the heat press machine, i have some useful suggestions for you.    The first thing you should consider is the size of the machine. You have to make sure what are you producing and what do you plan to produce. For example, if you just want to print some little things like t-shirt, pillow, bags, you can choose a flat heat press machine. But if you are going to print the large items, you ’ d better choose the roller heat press machine.    Then the consistent heat is also an issue you should take into consideration. Heat presses need to be heated to about 400 degrees fahrenheit for sublimation inks to transfer from the paper to the polymer fibers. This transfer has to be smooth and even for the process to work properly and for the image transfer to be consistent from one pressing to the next.   Consistent pre
