How to Choose the Sublimation Paper with Right Weight?

-
Sublimation paper can be divided into many types according to the weight. If the sublimation paper is lighter than 80g, we call it low weight sublimation paper, and this kind of paper are usually for high speed industrial printing. And we call the paper which is heavier than 80g the high weight sublimation paper, this are usually for some high quality prints.Then, how to choose the right weight for you?
sublimation paper


1. The amount of ink loading.
sublimation printingInk loading is related with the water absorption by the paper. The higher the ink loading, the heavier the paper has to be, in order to accept the moisture from the sublimation ink without any printing problem.  

Sometimes, the images you print are not complicate and colorful, so the amount of ink loading is low, and you can choose the low weight sublimation paper. But if the image you print is complete and colorful, the amount of ink loading will be high, and you’d better choose the heavy weight sublimation paper.

2. Roll to roll or roll to sheet
When the printed paper is processed from the roll in a transfer calendar , it is better to use the light weight paper.

3. The humidity of the printing environment
 When the humidity is low (under 45% RH), you’d better choose 75gsm paper. Because the paper will shrink in a low humidity, and 75gsm is thinner and softer, it will relieve the wrinkle. 

  When the humidity is higher than 70% RH, the thicker paper100gsm, 120gsm will work better than thinner paper, because the paper is very easy to become damp in a high humidity.

4. The print speed
  The low weight sublimation paper is suitable for high speed printers, because it can avoid the crimping of the paper. And if you use low weight sublimation paper for ordinary printers, the ink will easily permeate the paper. Besides, high speed print usually doesn’t pursuit the high  quality, use the low weight paper can save the cost.

 Wish you can find the suitable sublimation paper for yourself.
