  1. The amount of ink loading
  As we all know, for sublimation paper, the thicker, the more sublimation ink loading it can absorb. If the ink-loading is low, the image is not complicate and colorful , such as swimwear. you’d better use the low weight sublimation paper like 45g, 50g, 70g, 75g. If the ink-loading is high, then 90g, 100g, 120g, 140g are the better choice.

  2. The printing environment
  Relative humidity is under 45%RH (without humidifier in your printing), you should choose 75gsm paper. Because in a low humidity, the paper will shrink, leave the printing side arcing up. Meanwhile, the paper will absorb water during the printing, it makes the paper wrinkles worse.

  When the humidity is higher than 70%RH (without dehumidifier in your printing room), the thicker paper 120gsm,140gsm work better than thinner paper. Because the paper will immediately absorb moisture in the air, cause the paper become softer and reduce the stiffness.

  3. The shape of sublimation paper

  Roll-to-roll operation of the printer allows for a certain amount of tension control. Although the different types and makes of printers vary considerably in this regard, as a general rule roll-to-roll printing results in better process control than roll-to-sheet, in which the paper web is cut off immediately after the printing heads. Additionally, when the printed paper is processed from the roll in a transfer calender, conditions are ideal for the use of a lightweight paper.


  4. Printing speed
  Generally speaking, the lower the printing speed, the heavier the paper weight can be. A higher printing speed takes the cockling away from the danger zone under the printing heads.So in the MS high speed printers, people are using normally the 60gsm sublimation paper, in future the printer will works faster and faster, the printing paper will be thinner and thinner .

  If you are still puzzled about this problems in sublimation printing , you can tell me what you are printing, and then maybe we can give you a professional suggestion about the sublimation paper you should use.
