What are the types of sublimation ink?

In recent years, with the continuous prosperity of the photo inkjet market, various types of photo printers have appeared on the market, as well as a variety of inks for photo printers. According to the solvent, it can be divided into water-based and non-water-based ink. Water-based inks can be classified into pigment-based, dye-based, and sublimation inks that we are going to talk about today; non-water-based inks can be divided into oil-based pigment inks and solvent-based pigment inks. Today we are talking about what types of sublimation inks are there?

Sublimation ink can be divided into pure cotton digital printing

Let us first introduce the characteristics of pure cotton fabrics printed with sublimation inks. Advantages: sweat-absorbent, breathable, soft, sensitive, easy to clean, not easy to fluff; moisture absorption: cotton fiber has good moisture absorption. Under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content is 8-10%, So it touches human skin, makes people feel soft but not stiff and moisturizing, so it also makes the product experience of sublimation ink better. Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because the cotton fiber itself is porous, it is also more comfortable for products printed with sublimation ink. Hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and a small number of waxy substances, nitrogenous substances, and pectin, which is also a major advantage of sublimation ink products.

Sublimation ink can also be divided into digital chemical fiber printing

Sublimation ink digital printing and dyeing technology is divided into two categories, namely, cotton fabric printing and dyeing technology and chemical fiber fabric printing and dyeing technology. The difference between the sublimation ink digital printing and dyeing technologies is the ink used and the production process of digital printing and dyeing of pure cotton fabrics. The printing inks used are divided into reactive dye inks and acid dye inks for digital printing and dyeing of chemical fiber fabrics. The printing ink heads used sublimate disperse dye inks. The production process of digital thermal transfer printing and dyeing of chemical fiber fabrics is pattern design, output printing, sublimation ink transfer ink, finished product, and digital printing and dyeing production process of pure cotton fabric: pattern design is always spraying, fixing, drying, and finished product.

Main points of maintenance of digital printing machine for pure cotton fabric

(a)Usually pay attention to the maintenance of the fifth-generation head of the sublimation ink printer and insist on cleaning the nozzle after printing the goods.

(b)Test the printing test paper of the sublimation ink print head before shipping the goods every day.

(c)The selected pure cotton fabric should not exceed 5m, otherwise, it will be easily scratched. (d)The color card must be checked every time the print head is shipped to avoid unnecessary production.

(e)When the dye sublimation ink printer finishes printing, remember to put the head back to its original position.

(f)Do not wipe the nozzle by hand.

(g)Pay attention to spread the cloth evenly when playing the cut pieces, align the card position, and print.
