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.

Sublimation ink is a kind of thermal transfer ink. This process is to print the ink on paper and then transfer it to the substrate. According to the sublimation characteristics of the dye, after the sublimation ink encounters high temperature, the sublimation of the ink is inside the substrate instead of on the surface. Under certain conditions of temperature, pressure, and time, the sublimation ink is sublimated into a gas phase and transferred from the printed paper to the fabric (such as sportswear, non-woven bags, clothing, handicrafts, layered metal, etc.), enters into the fabric through gas-phase sublimation and diffusion, to achieve the purpose of coloring, and there is no hand feeling after printing. The following will focus on the topic of what is sublimation ink.

Offset printing characteristics of sublimation ink

Sublimation inks are available in red, yellow, blue, and black series. The printing materials include coated paper, coated paper, offset paper, and cardboard. The scope of application of sublimation ink is mainly suitable for single-sheet paper feeding single-color presses, two-color or multi-color offset printing presses. In addition, the sublimation ink has two major product characteristics: First, it can meet the needs of medium and high-speed printing. Second, under normal circumstances, it can ensure that there is no conjunctiva in the ink fountain of the printer for 36 hours.

Tips for the use of sublimation ink: print out a small sample for plate-making and printing before use. If the deviation is not large, then confirm the sample manufacture for plate-making and printing. Because the sublimation ink is colored in the gas phase, it cannot be printed at a normal printing ratio.

The scope of application of the thermal transfer process

The thermal transfer process can also refer to the sublimation ink suitable for the transfer of cloth and the surface of hard objects that have been coated. The fabric is mainly polyester and polyester cotton, and the hard objects are resistant to high temperatures, such as film, metal, glass, porcelain, porcelain cups, PVC, etc. As long as the sublimation ink transfer materials are resistant to high temperatures, they can be used with thermal transfer coatings. Layers can be transferred through a dedicated ironing machine to complete the image transfer.

How to use sublimation ink and matters needing attention

First of all, under normal circumstances, it can be used directly on the machine;

Secondly, due to factors such as temperature, paper, printing speed, etc., it can be adjusted according to the following rules;

(a)To accelerate drying, mixed desiccant can be added, the amount is 0-2%;

(b)Equipped with special sublimation ink for indifference;

(c)Adjust the fluidity of sublimation ink, you can use #6 printing varnish, the dosage is 0-5%;

(d)Reduce the viscosity of the paper, basically keep the fluidity unchanged, a detackifier can be used, the dosage is 0-5%;

(e)At the same time, reduce the viscosity and viscosity of the sublimation ink, add 52-94, and the dosage is 0-5%.

Although there are many advantages ofdye-sublimation printers, in fact,dye-sublimation printers also have disadvantages. So what are the disadvantages of dye-sublimation printers? Let us take a look at it next.

Here is the content list:

lPrinting speed is slow

lNot suitable for text printing

lNarrow print format

lThe use environment is very demanding

lHigher purchase costs and consumables

Printing speed is slow

Since the dye-sublimation printer prints the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue in cycles, each time the dye-sublimation printer prints a color, the paper has to go back and forth in the printing channel. Therefore, to complete a printing task, it needs to go through the paper three times. The film needs to be added again. Therefore, the efficiency of dye-sublimation printers is much slower than that of inkjet printing. The speed of traditional color printing is almost three times faster than that of dye-sublimation printers. In addition, dye-sublimation printers cannot increase the printing speed by reducing the printing resolution. This makes the dye-sublimation printer unsuitable for applications that often require continuous printing, and prevents it from achieving greater development in the commercial field.

Not suitable for text printing

Since the sublimation printer mixes solid pigments of four colors including black for printing when printing text, its black purity is very low and cannot be compared with jet printing. Therefore, the sublimation printer is not suitable for printing. The purpose of text printing.

Narrow print format

At present, most ordinary dye-sublimation printers only have the output capacity of 4×6 inches (A6 format), which is just the size of ordinary photos. Compared with the jetted A4 or even A3 format, the dye-sublimation printer still has a big gap. The larger-format dye-sublimation printers are not only expensive, but the consumables are also very expensive, which is not suitable for popular users.

The use environment is very demanding

Dye-sublimation printers are very sensitive to dust. If dust enters the print head or ribbon, the print quality is likely to have a serious impact, such as forming a long white thin line, causing the entire photo to be scrapped. In addition, dye-sublimation printers also have high requirements for working temperature. If they work continuously for a long time, the color accuracy may be affected due to poor heat dissipation.

Higher purchase costs and consumables

At present, an ordinary dye-sublimation printer costs about 1,000 yuan, which is still a lot more expensive than the price of an ordinary household color inkjet printer of only about 300 or 400 yuan. Secondly, because the current dye-sublimation printers are also slightly more consumables than the inkjet printers, for example, printing a 6-inch photo, the cost price of each photo using inkjet printing is about 2.5 yuan, while the cost price of dye sublimation printing is about 3 yuan (including printer depreciation, ink, ribbon, and photographs). However, due to the large difference in the price of printing consumables, the cost of some printing consumables is even more expensive than that of dye-sublimation printers, so the cost of dye-sublimation consumables is still acceptable.

However, in order to better enable consumers to buy cheap and affordable dye-sublimation printers, the company is working hard to develop and reduce costs and overcome the shortcomings of dye-sublimation printers.

Thermal transfer ink, also called sublimation ink, is a kind of disperse dye ink, which belongs to water-based ink. Unlike other inks, thermal transfer ink needs to transfer the color to the object through high temperature to show the original color. The color printed on the transfer paper at first is not the final color, and the original color can only appear after the transfer. So how should we understand the sublimation ink?

The following article will cover the following

l Equipment required for the production of sublimation ink process

l Principles of sublimation ink process preparation

l What are the differences between sublimation ink and ordinary ink?

l Which channels can we learn about dye sublimation inks?

Equipment required for the production of sublimation ink process

One EPSON desktop printer, one set of flat ironing machines for printing corresponding dye sublimation ink, bakeware, cup-making machine, special paper for sublimation, and special coating liquid for sublimation. The application surface can be Cloth, film, metal, glass, porcelain, porcelain cup, etc.

Principles of sublimation ink process preparation

The sublimation phenomenon of sublimation ink at high temperature. When the temperature is high, the dye on the paper will directly change from solid to gas at high temperature, so that the color will be transferred from the sublimation paper to the surface of the article to be transferred.

What are the differences between sublimation ink and ordinary ink?

Sublimation inks are water-based inks. Different from other inks, sublimation inks need to transfer the color to the object through high temperatures to show the original color. At first, the color printed on the transfer paper is not the final color. The high temperature for a certain period will show the original color. And, the sublimation ink must be equipped with special paper for sublimation. The sublimation special paper can evenly absorb the sublimation ink, and can completely release the absorbed sublimation ink from the paper under high-temperature conditions, and transfer the color to the surface of the transfer object. Ordinary printing paper can also complete the transfer, but the transfer rate, that is, the hue of the transferred article. It is slightly worse for sublimation paper.

Which channels can we learn about dye sublimation inks?

In advertising display occasions, such as the mass printing of banners and banners, we can learn about sublimation ink visually, auditorily, and even tactilely. During the production of light industrial products, the production of printing (shoes, hats, boxes, bags, umbrellas, ties), clothing accessories, ribbon printing, and other professional fields provides us with a very important professional reference for further understanding of sublimation inks. In life, the most intuitive objects that can deepen your understanding of sublimation inks are ceramics, cups, plates, ceramic tiles (the surface needs to be coated with acrylic drying paint), and keychains, couple cups, mobile phone cases, pillows, etc. in the field of craft products. Finally, sublimation inks are also suitable for fabric pattern transfer in the clothing processing industry, such as fabric printing and dyeing, sportswear, swimsuits, non-woven fabrics, T-shirts, etc. These are also necessary for our company to continue to develop and improve sublimation inks.
