Sublimation printers use thermal energy to the pigment is transferred to the print medium, the print head of each color gradation is controlled by the temperature change, there may be a maximum level of 256. Because the pigments of sublimation printers are applied to the paper in the gas phase through the sublimation process, the fusion of the three primary colors can form a continuous color gradation, which is much better than the ink droplets of inkjet printing. Sublimation printers are suitable for the delicate and delicate skin texture of portraits during printing, and they also have the characteristics of long-term storage and not easy to fade. Then, let's introduce in detail how do we use the sublimation printer?

Continuous tone

The working principle of the sublimation printer is to set solid pigments of four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) on a drum. The drum is equipped with tens of thousands of semiconductor heating elements. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the solid pigment can be directly converted into a gaseous state, and then the gas can be jetted onto the printing medium. Each semiconductor heating element of the thermal sublimation printer can adjust 256 kinds of temperature, which can adjust the color ratio and the degree of shade, and achieve the effect of a true-color photo with continuous tone.

Print resolution

The print resolution of a sublimation printer is an important indicator to measure the print quality of the printer. It determines the degree of fineness that the printer can express when printing images. Therefore, to a certain extent, the print resolution rate also determines the output quality of the sublimation printer.

Three colors

Any other color can be combined with these three primary colors. Sublimation printers achieve multiple colors and color depths through the combination of three colors. However, in the dye-sublimation printing process, the three colors are not printed at the same time, but one color is used each time, and the required color requirements are combined through three printings. It is for this reason that the printing medium needs to pass through the printer 3 times during the printing process, which also makes the printing process of the sublimation printer relatively slow, but the high photo printing quality is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

Print speed

Sublimation printers are not suitable for printing text, forms, etc. Printing time is not a unique parameter of sublimation printers. The printing speed of laser and inkjet printers usually refers to the number of pages printed by the printer per minute, and the unit is expressed in PPM. At present, all printer manufacturers provide users with laser or inkjet printer products, and the marking speed is based on the printing speed as the standard measurement unit. However, because the printing technology used by sublimation printers is different from that of laser or inkjet printers, it generally prints less than one sheet per minute. Therefore, the printing speed of dye-sublimation printers is expressed in seconds. The printing speed of general sublimation printers is around 90 milliseconds. The first print time is slightly longer because of the need to preheat the heated print head.

The sublimation printer has the following characteristics: built-in structural support to maintain flatness; heat pipe die-casting qualified aluminum plate; electronic digital constant temperature control system; non-stick surface.

Most sublimation inks are water-based, and water-based sublimation inks can be used in various small-format desktop printers and large-format photo printers. The advantage is that it can be transferred to different media, not just paper. Many different media can be transferred; the disadvantage is that the operating procedures are more troublesome and the price is higher. Next, we talk about the shortcomings of water-based sublimation inks:

Product overview of sublimation ink

Sublimation ink, it is to print the thermal transfer ink on the transfer medium, then heat transfer to the target medium, and heat to fix the color. The thickness of the thermal transfer paper is 45-55 grams, and the cost is reduced by reducing the thickness of the thermal transfer paper and the transfer voltage. Mainly used for heating transfer printing products. sublimation ink can be heated by a heat transfer machine to print patterns and text on other products, so it is one of the indispensable materials in the heat transfer industry.

Product shortcomings of sublimation ink

The production of water-based sublimation ink requires a higher level of nano-dispersion technology and nano-level disperse dye paste. Because disperse dyes are insoluble in water and very difficult to disperse, special dispersing equipment and nano-dispersing technology are needed to produce ultra-fine particle sublimation inks, and few companies in the world have this technology. Water-based dye sublimation inks are widely used in personal desktop inkjet printers and commercial large format photo machines, mainly for digital dye-sublimation transfer printing.

In addition, since dye sublimation ink is a printing consumable, it is very important to choose high-quality and low price dye sublimation ink. For example, a desktop printer only costs more than 300 yuan, and a liter of ink may cost 400 to 800 yuan, and a set of ink may even cost 6 to 7,000 yuan. Therefore, if the choice is not good, the ink you buy seems to be more expensive than the printer.

The main production areas and advantages of sublimation

Dye sublimation inks are mainly produced in the United States and South Korea. American dye sublimation inks and Korean dye sublimation inks have bright colors. The patterns of American dye sublimation inks and Korean dye sublimation inks printed on paper are light and clear and are heated and transferred by a heat transfer machine. After that, the image is clear and the color reproduction is high, which is also the advantage of imported sublimation ink. In addition, due to the high density of transfer ink, it is easy to block the printer nozzle, and imported sublimation ink can avoid this phenomenon.

In the beginning, the sublimation paper used in the sublimation technology of heat transfer can only rely on imports. The technology has been developed rapidly after being introduced to the country. However, most of the domestic manufacturers of sublimation paper have insufficient technology, and the equipment is relatively backward, and can only produce low-to-medium grades. Sublimation paper is used for production that does not require high sublimation transfer printing. For the higher-requirement sublimation transfer printing, it is necessary to use relatively high-priced imported paper. The main reason is that the transfer rate of domestic sublimation paper production is low. The drying speed of the sublimation paper after printing ink directly determines the efficiency of the sublimation transfer. The fast-drying speed can make the user convenient to use, can facilitate continuous printing, and improve the delivery speed. Usually, after sublimation paper is printed with water-based ink, it relies on the coated water-absorbing material and base paper to absorb the moisture in the ink, to achieve the goal of drying. The drying performance of the sublimation paper is mainly related to the coating formula and the water absorption of the base paper. So how is sublimation paper made? Here are some answers.

The manufacturing method of quick-drying sublimation paper.

Sublimation paper is the method of using inkjet paper without adhesion film on the surface of the substrate, so the hand feeling and visual effect of the pattern of sublimation paper are far better than ordinary ink and transfer paper. The heat transfer products made of sublimation paper have the advantages of color, no fading, no cracks, good air permeability, etc., which have become popular products in the world today. Newspapers such as photo banners, street light flags, ribbons, handbags, luggage, sea bags, wall charts, double flags, clothing, tiles, glass, etc. made of sublimation paper stand out in the fierce market competition.

To make quick-drying sublimation paper, it is necessary to choose base paper with strong water resistance. First, apply a sublimation transfer ink-retaining coating on the front side of the base paper. Then, a coating that is beneficial to improve the water absorption of the paper is coated on the back of the base paper. The size of the back coating is water + surfactant or water + starch + surfactant. The quality of the surfactant is percentage is between 0.5% and 5%, and the mass percentage of starch is between 0.5% and 3%.

Two printing methods for sublimation paper.

There are two printing methods for sublimation paper, one is sublimation transfer printing and the other is thermosetting transfer printing. The sublimation method of sublimation paper refers to the printing of the color paste produced by thermally sublimated disperse dyes into printing paper by screen or gravure and then transferring the pattern on the printing paper to the required medium. The heat-set transfer method of sublimation paper refers to the use of thermosetting ink (also known as hot melt glue) to make a plate with a gravure plate and then print it into a printing paper by a thermal transfer paper printer, and then transfer the pattern on the printing paper to the product. The two printing methods of sublimation paper have obvious differences in application. The heat-set transfer method of sublimation paper is mainly used on chemical fiber fabrics and hard materials coated with thermal transfer coating. The sublimation transfer method of sublimation paper is mainly Applied to pure cotton products. The difference in the texture of the two sublimation paper printing methods is that the original texture of the material is not changed after the heat-set transfer, and the hand feel and look are good. After the sublimation transfer method, a layer of jelly is formed on the surface of the attachment, which has a poor hand feeling and is airtight.

The advantages of sublimation paper.

Sublimation paper needs to use sublimation ink. Dye sublimation ink (also known as thermal transfer ink) is a digital ink made of low energy consumption and easy sublimation disperse dyes, which can be printed on sublimation paper. Through heating, the image can be made into exquisite porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber cloth, and other materials in the shortest time, which is very suitable for the personalized development needs of the market and environmental protection. Sublimation paper is suitable for cloth, leather, metal, wood, ceramics, glass, plexiglass, PVC board, etc. The characteristic of sublimation paper is that the transfer image is bright in color, rich in layers, and the effect is equivalent to printing.
