What Common Problems Can be Seen in Sublimation Printing?(2)

-
 Last time, we talked about the 2 common problems in sublimation printing: banding and moisture issues. Now, let’s talk about the another 3 problems.
sublimation printing


  1. Ghosting & Gassing Out
  As we all know that when it is in transfer, heat press surface, transfer paper and surface of substrate must be close, can not have the gaps, otherwise it will make the transferred graphics blur.

sublimation paper
  The key to solve this problems is how to keep the transfer paper and the substrate close tightly. There are some solutions:

  First, use heat resistant tape to secure the transfer to the product. Use care not to tape across the image area as this can often damage the image quality. In addition, use only a minimal amount of tape, as you will need to be able to easily and quickly remove the transfer after pressing.

  Second, if you are sublimating the garment, you can use “repositionable” spray adhesive instead of tape. Apply a very light mist on the image side of the transfer paper from about 12-18" away. Do not spray the shirt. Then press the transfer paper to the product. If you position it incorrectly, you can lift it off and reposition it.

  2. The Color is Not Correct after Transfer Printing
  Sometimes you will find that the output color is not the color you want, why? This is mainly because of the image rendering equipment. Different image rendering equipment has different methods and ranges of color management.

  We usually suggest our customers use the RIP program, which provides very precise tools for managing color and controlling production.

  3. Transfer Lines On Apparel
  Transfer lines are where you end up with a faint line in the fabric that corresponds to where the edges of the transfer sheet were located during pressing. They are caused by the shirt fibers melting along the edges of the transfer sheet. If you are an Embroiderer, transfer lines look kind of like hoop marks, except they are permanent!

  First, adjust the heat press machine settings, turn the temperature to 385oF and reducing the pressure to a very light setting. You can also shorten the time from 60’ to 30’. But remember, you should do an experiment in advance, and find the most suitable settings.

  Second, Many Sublimators use a process that utilizes a sheet of high temperature foam during production to prevent lines from forming. Vapor Apparel produces a turn-key kit complete with instructions and a YouTube video to explain the process. It can be purchased from any of their Distributors.

  It is not horrible to meet problems in sublimation printing, the horrible place is that you never try to solve the problems even you meet them. We must know, the process of technology’s development is also the process of solving all kinds of problems. So , never afraid to meet troublesome.

 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. ...

What You Need Prepare For Dye Sublimation? Dye sublimation printer Printer is just one of the steps of the sublimation printing process . After printing, heat and press machine must be used to transfer an image onto fabric. As known, you can find various types of transfer printing machines with different features and advantages. Yet, the key point here is to invest in a machine according to your print requirements. To set an example, while small format print machines perfectly suit the needs of small production runs and garment printing, large format printers are generally considered a much better option for upholstery fabric, wide format ads, and promotional display products or high-volume productions. It is very important for users to pay attention to high-tech machine suppliers to choose the right printer. Such high technology covers following features: the printer software must keep color consumption at an optimum level, the software must deliver the best color management m...
