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.
Here is the content list:
l The manufacturing method of quick-drying sublimation paper.
l Two printing methods for sublimation paper.
l The advantages of 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%.
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.
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.

Sublimation ink is to print the sublimation ink on special paper. By heating, the image can be made on exquisite porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber cloth, and other materials in the shortest time, with photo-level quality, vivid colors, and images. It is clear and can be stored permanently. Sublimation ink is very suitable for the market needs of personalized development, such as photo studios, scenic spots, souvenirs, handicrafts, clothing printing, printing and dyeing factory proofing, large-scale digital inkjet printing systems, color image heat transfer banners, advertising flags, etc., are widely used in photo machines and sublimation banner machines. So how should we understand the sublimation ink?
The content includes the following:
l What are the specific requirements for dye sublimation ink preparation?
l How to operate the sublimation ink process to print hard objects?
l How to operate the dye sublimation ink process to print fabrics?
Different from other inks, sublimation inks need to transfer the color to the object through high temperatures to show the original color. The color printed on the transfer paper at first is not the final color, and it takes a certain period of high temperature to show the original color. Therefore, the surrounding air temperature should be kept in compliance with the conditions during use. In addition, sublimation ink must be equipped with special paper for dye 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.
(a) Install the continuous ink supply system dedicated to the sublimation of "Painting Mania" and check whether the nozzles are normal;
(b) Turn on the dedicated ironing machine, and set the control panel parameters to the appropriate temperature or time according to the type of transferred item. Different sublimation ink equipment has different parameters for different transferred items, so you should combine it with yourself. Experience selection, testing, equipment preheating, and at the same time adjusting the pressure knob to make the pressure of the plate reach the best state;
(c) Sublimation ink transfer articles are evenly sprayed with a sublimation coating, which can be dried naturally in a sealed and clean environment, or you can choose a suitable temperature and time in the oven to accelerate the drying of the coating. In short, the coating must also be resistant to high temperatures of;
(d) Finally, use the printer to output the image. The image must be mirrored and dry for a few minutes after output.
The sublimation ink process is different from printing hard objects with sublimation ink. After printing the fabric with sublimation ink and drying for a few minutes, you need to lay the fabric to be transferred flat on the machine, and then print the image face down and place it on the fabric. Finally, press the joystick of the ironing machine, pressing it at a time. After a certain period, pull the rocker and quickly take out the sublimation ink transfer paper, and finally take out the printed finished fabric.

Dye sublimation printing is one of the most underrated techniques for product decoration. While it may not be applicable for certain surfaces, this process fills many unique niches in the promotional printing market and is the ideal choice for printing on polyester fabrics and polyester resin coated products. Ink is designed to deliver enhanced performance on different print-head.Sublimation inks are made from high purity Low energy disperse dyes. Thus they offer excellent print-head performance and extended nozzle life. Also, the range of best sublimation ink is available for use with different types of sublimation papers. These Ink are fine-tuned to offer excellent release, vivid color, reduced cocking, long shelf life and much more. Deepest Black, Neutral Gray Tones, and High Sharpness make the Super-Sub® inks your ideal choice for your sublimation business. These inks are suitable for various applications of sublimation transfer printing. The process is distinctive in that it creates graphics by using inks – disperse dyes – in their gas form. First, graphics are printed onto transfer paper. Using a heat press, the transfer paper is then placed on the item you’re decorating. The heat allows the dried inks on the transfer paper to turn from a solid form into gas and penetrate the polyester fabrics. When heated, the polymers in the polyester encourage the inks to bond, which creates permanent graphics that are fully embedded into the material.
Sublimation ink (also known as thermal transfer ink) is to make low-energy, easily sublimable disperse dyes into digital printing ink, print it on transfer paper, and heat it to make the image beautiful in a short time. Materials such as porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber cloth, etc. are very suitable for the market needs of personalized development and the requirements of environmental protection. So what should we pay attention to when using sublimation ink?
The following content

l What are the requirements for the operation of the characteristics of the sublimation ink?
l What should be paid attention to when preparing sublimation ink?
The production of water-based sublimation ink requires a very high level of nano-dispersion technology and nano-scale disperse dye paste. However, because disperse dyes are insoluble in water and extremely difficult to disperse, and the production of ultra-fine particle sublimation inks requires special dispersion equipment and nano-dispersion technology, 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 printers, but they are mainly used for digital dye-sublimation ink transfer printing.
Sublimation ink has four color series of red, yellow, blue, and black. Printing materials include coated paper, coated paper, offset paper, and cardboard. Sublimation inks are widely used in single-sheet feed monochrome printing presses, two-color or multi-color offset presses. In addition, sublimation ink has two major product features: First, it can meet the needs of medium and high-speed printing. Second, under normal conditions, sublimation ink can ensure that there is no conjunctiva in the ink fountain of the printer for 36 hours, which greatly improves the efficiency of printing.
Tips for using sublimation ink: First, print out a sample for plate making and printing, and then put it into use. If there is not much deviation between the printing and the actual, you can confirm the plate making and printing sample manufacturing. However, because the sublimation ink is colored in the gas phase, it cannot be printed at the normal printing ratio.
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 sublimation ink dedicated to flush;
(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%.
