SEVERAL COMMON ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS IN DYE-SUBLIMATION PRINTING PROCESS (2)

-
Yesterday I introduced 3 common issues and solutions in dye-sublimation printing, today I will share another 4. Hope will be helpful to you.

4.Why am I getting ink from a previously transferred image onto a new blank transfer?


sublimation printing
Sublimation ink has the tendency to bleed onto the bottom and top platens of your press during heat transfer, which is why it is very important to protect your press with the proper material. To prevent ink from getting onto your top or bottom platen, we recommend using a Teflon wrap for each platen, as well as a Teflon sheet. Teflon is completely reusable, and all it takes is wiping away the excess ink after each press. You may also use silicone-treated sheets that can be discarded after use.

5.Why am I seeing small dots in my transfer?


If you're noticing small dots on your finished product, this is likely due to excess moisture. We recommend pre-pressing most substrates to ensure you get all moisture out. Then, let the substrate cool down, place your transfer on, and press like normal.

6.Why are my transfers blurry?


If you notice blurring in your image when you pull the transfer paper off, this may be because your substrate received too much time/temperature in the heat press, and now the image has started to bleed out. If this happens, we recommend reducing your time and attempting again.

7.Why are my images coming out faded?


Image fading is usually caused by too much time and temperature, and/or pressure. We suggest double-checking the recommended settings from the company where you purchased your sublimation blanks. Every heat press is different, which is something to bear in mind. Another suggestion is to double-check the temperature of the top platen on your press to make sure it aligns with the stated temperature; for this, we recommend heat strips.

We hope that this article helps resolve any potential issues you run into as you grow as you gain more experience in the sublimation business. This article is by no means comprehensive, and there may be an issue you experience outside of these.

Which is the right print side of the sublimation paper?     Sublimation paper is one type of coated paper, and most of the sublimation transfer paper comes with right and wrong side for printing.if you print on wrong side, the transfer will not have best color,will result in a poor transfer which looks mottled and washed out, and you'll have to do it again. So dye sublimation paper can only be printed on one side (which is the release side). This article next will firtstly talking about the right printing side of the sheet (such as the A3 A4) sublimation paper.    Printing on the wrong side happens a lot in sheet sublimation paper . People always ask their supplier “which side to print", normally the answer is "the brighter side is the printing side", but for some people who have bad view , just like me, are incapable of telling the very small difference between two things, then we still have a big problem in identify the correct side. Today we will share

 Is DTG Printing Eco-friendly?    DTG printing is a more sustainable fashion business model than screen printing. Mainly because printing one-offs allows businesses to avoid overproduction and textile waste. With 92 million tons of textile going to waste in the fashion industry each year, a business model like this is a game-changer.     Plus, a lot of DTG printer manufacturers create advanced tech that’s made with sustainability in mind. For example, our partners with Sublistar whose printers produce almost zero wastewater and use less energy, lowering the carbon footprint.     What’s more, sublistar DTG printers use water-based vegan inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own ink factories, maintaining the highest quality levels. The inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products.     Direct-to-garment printing is a hassle-free way to get the products ready for your customers.    Most third-party printers have no order minimums for
