How To Figure Out Some Problems We Face During Dye Sublimation?

textile digital printing

    Problems encountered in sublimation are usually rooted in the process described in Figure 1. These include abnormally shaped parts, color matching, paper sticking and dishwasher/ultraviolet (UV) resistance.

   Abnormally Shaped Parts. The uneven surfaces of ceramic parts can cause problems with sublimation. An uneven surface prevents even application of pressure, which is necessary to direct the gas to the part. Absence of pressure and direction causes blurring and light/blank spots. Creative methods of applying pressure—such as wrapping an elastic band around the part—or increasing the heat can compensate for these irregularities. Regular part measurements, however, can identify problem parts before they are decorated.
 
   Color Matching. Color is a result of dye penetration into the coating. The amount of penetration can vary with the coating characteristics. A coating with a lower glass transition temperature would be softer at a 400°F sublimation temperature, allowing greater dye penetration and showing darker colors, but some sharpness would also be compromised. Heat and pressure also affect dye penetration, and can be adjusted for the coating. A quality program with color testing is critical to isolating the cause of a color matching problem.

    Paper Sticking. Referring back to Figure 1, the coating becomes soft when heated. If the coating becomes too soft, either because of excessive heat or a lower glass transition temperature of the coating, the pressure may force the ink, and the paper, into the coating. Upon cooling, the transfer paper will be frozen into the coating and hard to remove. Removal of the sublimation printing paper while the part is still hot is one way to prevent the sticking, as is reducing the pressure. However, if this problem is experienced as part of a standard testing procedure, where heat, pressure and paper are constant, it could be an indication of coating or equipment problems.

   UV Resistance. Resistance to sunlight radiation is a function of the coating chemistry. Coating suppliers have developed chemistries that resist UV degradation in other industries, such as outdoor paints and automotive applications. But for sublimation, each coating must be custom-formulated to meet the sublimation decorator’s needs. In some cases, there may be a trade-off—imparting high UV resistance may compromise the coating strength, for example, or may affect another coating property. Developing a UV resistant sublimation coating requires a joint effort from both the sublimation decorator and the supplier.

   Dishwasher Resistance. Dishwasher fading happens when the coating returns above the glass transition temperature. A higher glass transition temperature keeps a coating hard and glassy in the dishwasher, preventing the ink from escaping. Another cause of dishwasher fading is thin coating, which, although less expensive, allows water penetration to wash the dyes away. The American Society for Testing and Materials has a standard procedure (D2248-93) for evaluating dishwasher/detergent resistance of coatings. Ensuring dishwasher resistance requires communication with the part supplier about the glass transition temperature, coating thickness, and compliance to the established standard.

Which is the right print side of the sublimation paper?

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?

 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

The Sublimation Printing on Garment Industrial

  As one of the most important application field of sublimation printing , garment industrial plays an significant role in sublimation printing technology ’ s development. Why sublimation printing are used widely in garment industrial?    1. Good printing result   The garments printed by sublimation printing technology usually has beautiful patterns and vivid color. Besides, the layers of the patterns are rich and clear, so the images has a strong three-dimensional feeling.This is hard to achieve by other printing methods. What ’ s more, the sublimation printing can print the photographic pictures and paintings.    2. The garments are soft and the images have long service life   The biggest feature of sublimation transfer printing is the dye can be spread into the polyester or fiber, and the products feel very soft and comfortable. Because the sublimation ink has been dry in the transfer process, the life of the images are the same as the life of the garment itself,
