Digital printing technology has developed rapidly. Therefore, it is an industry that integrates multiple industries. we can see screen printing factory now can provide digital printing, and sign shops also are able to offer apparel. We see that this type of industry adaptation has occurred with the emergence of eco-solvent printers, and now we can see this in dye-sublimation printers.
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation transfer is to use an inkjet printer equipped with transfer ink to print an image on sublimation transfer paper in mirror reversal mode, and then heat it to about 230℃ by heat press calandra. The dispersed sublimation ink on sublimation transfer paper will penetrate into the carrier in the form of vaporization, so that the color of the image on the paper can be vividly transferred to fashion textiles, home decorations, banners, mugs, metals and other materials.
Advantages of dye sublimation printing
High-quality Print Output:
The main advantage of the sublimation printer lies in the photo-level print quality.
Unique coating function:
The coating layer is a unique function of the dye sublimation paper. Since the sublimation printer is mainly used to print photo-level images, image printed on coated transfer paper, the overall color feeling will be brighter and more vivid. It also has the functions of waterproof and anti-oxidation.
Seldom block print heads:
Dye sublimation printing machine does not have the problem of ink drop spreading like UV, DTG, and the printing accuracy is very high. There are no ink dots, and there will be no nozzle clogging problem with thermal transfer ink, as we all know, sublimation ink use dispersed water-based ink, no need use white ink, keep daily maintenance, print heads seldom get clogging.
Of course, it also has limitations. Dye sublimation transfer printing only works with polyester-based fabrics. No work for 100% cotton! This is because the ink only binds to polyester material. Besides, sublimation print is a dye process, therefore it's perfect result on light color substates.
What you need pay attention to when sublimation printing?
1. Have a clean working environment:
1). The sublimation paper should be kept clean and free of dust, fingerprints, oil, etc.;
2). Ensure fabric etc substrates clean and free from dirt, debris, oil and other dirt;
2. Heat transfer temperature:
The heat transfer temperature varies based on different materials, heat press device, and the temperature of heat press area. Do not blindly pursue the higher or (the lower, the better) heat transfer temperature. Generally, the temperature is between 170°C and 240°C.
3. Heat transfer pressure:
The heat transfer pressure should be adjusted to the most appropriate level. If the pressure is too large, it is easy to damage the printed product. If it is too small, it cannot achieve better transfer effect. After adjusting to the best hot stamping pressure, the pressure adjustment should be locked to avoid changes in mass production.
4. Heat transfer time:
The transfer speed should be determined according to the specific substrates. Generally, the faster the speed, the higher the production efficiency.

Heat transfer paper is a specialty paper that you print on and the image can be transferred to a garment or hard surface with a heat press. There are two types of heat transfer paper: inkjet and laser. For each paper type you need its respective printer type. Laser transfer paper cannot be used with inkjet printers and vice versa. Heat transfer paper can work with most office printers. However, you will get the best quality and results out of a white toner printer, such as an OKI. These printers are specifically designed for garment decoration and lay down a layer of white toner to allow vibrant, full-color prints to be transferred to colored and dark garments. Sublimation vs Heat Transfer Paper: Which is Better? There are multiple ways to decorate garments and often people make the comparison of sublimation vs heat transfer paper. We can’t necessarily tell you which is better because that depends on your business needs and what you’re trying to achieve and/or decorate. However, we discuss the differences and compare the two process to aid you in your decision-making process. What is Sublimation? Sublimation is a similar process to heat transfer paper in the sense it requires you to print an image or design on a special paper, then use heat to apply it to a substrate. However, there is one major difference- the science of how the process happens. Sublimation ink is a dye-based ink that when heated, turns from a solid into a gas. This gas dyes the fabric. Due to the ink actually dying the fibers of the garment, sublimation is only ideal for white and light garments.Sublimation Process What is Heat Transfer Paper? Heat transfer paper is a specialty paper that you print on and the image can be transferred to a garment or hard surface with a heat press.

These differences range from the type of substrates you can transfer on, the feel, durability, weeding and startup costs. Garment Colors One of the biggest differences between the two methods is the color garments you can transfer to. With heat transfer printing, you are not limited to the color substrate you want to transfer an image to. You can transfer on any color, dark or light. Alternately, with sublimation, you can only print on light-colored garments. This is due to the science behind the process. Since sublimation dyes the fabric in the transfer process, you cannot sublimate on dark colors. Although there are workarounds for this, such as using a heat transfer vinyl that you can sublimate on to after pressing it to the shirt, it is still the biggest limitation of sublimation.
Rotary presses are typically manufactured two different ways and come in widths that range from 10–220″. The two types of presses are referred to as a roll-to-roll heat press and a cut part rotary press (the latter features a table). 1.Roll-to-roll heat press. This type of rotary press is used to transfer your designs on to a roll of fabric. Used Heat & Rotary Press for sale. Federal equipment & more. Roll to Roll & Pieces or Sheets. Belt Widths: 24" - 44" - 52" - 60" - 67" - 75" - 91" - 99" - 136" ( model sizes may vary ) Transfer full rolls of fabric at their full width, or just transfer multiple pieces at once.

A heat press is also called a bonding machine. According to the different heat pressing media, it can be divided into soldering, ACF (anisotropic conductive tape), ACP (anisotropic conductive glue), TBF (hot melt adhesive film). It is suitable for the connection of FPC (flexible circuit board), HSC (zebra paper), TAB and LCD, and PCB. So what is the principle and function of the heat press? The following is a detailed introduction.
Here is the content list:
l Principle of heat press machine
l Features of heat press machine
l Application
Pulse heating principle, due to the special design of the welding head surface of the heat press, the resistance of the welding surface is very small, and the current will pass through the cross-section with the smallest resistance. By continuously changing the voltage and adjusting the current level, it quickly heats up through the welding head. The titanium alloy indenter of the hot press ensures even temperature, rapid heating, and long service life. The pressure head is specially designed with an adjustable level to ensure that the components are evenly pressed. The temperature is numerically controlled, clear, and precise. Equipped with a digital pressure gauge, the pressure range can be preset.
1. The heat press uses pulse heating technology, with precise temperature control, and the temperature sampling frequency is 0.1s.
2. The diversified working modes of the heat press include a single working platform, rotating working platform, left and right movable platform, etc.
3. The temperature of the hot press is controlled by multi-stage heating and has a real-time temperature curve display. Its mechanism is a silicone tape index mechanism, providing accurate alignment is due to the CCD vision system
4. Large-capacity program pre-stored.
5. Touch operation interface, protected by program password.
