Can sublimation ink be replaced at random？

   

    Sublimation, as a process is really simple. The image is applied to ceramic, metal and polyester fabrics with special coating. Using three main components: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.About sublimation ink,some people may think that if it's just ink, it's also feasible to find a substitute at will.When it comes to the question of whether the sublimation ink can be replaced, I think it should be explained from its definition, uniqueness, application and market trend.

1.Definition

 Sublimation ink, also known as transfer ink, is a low energy, sublime disperse dye which can be printed on transfer paper. Through heating, we can make beautiful porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber fabrics and other images in the shortest time. It is very suitable for the individualized development of the market. Field needs and environmental protection.

2.Uniqueness
    Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. You must purchase the mugs, tiles, metals, etc. with the coating already on them, it is not something you can coat yourself. We carry a full line of these sublimatable blanks. When you apply to 100% polyester (such us our mouse pads and puzzles) you do not need any coating, it is applied directly to the 100% polyester fabric.
3.Application
    Heat transfer printing ink is suitable for cloth, leather, metal, wood, ceramics, glass, plexiglass, PVC board and so on.
4.Market trends
    Experts in heat transfer printing ink believe that the digital thermal transfer market in

China is still in the initial stage of development. Many users cannot distinguish the difference between low quality and high quality ink. From the analysis of market rules, the market share of ink will gradually shift to high quality ink, which will be an inevitable trend of market development. Therefore, the price of ink should be treated objectively. Low price ink can only be applied to the advertising market, but not for industrial garment printing and dyeing. This is absolute. Therefore, the concept of price can not be confused and must be distinguished. Ink quality from low quality and high quality transition become inevitable.

    From these points of view, sublimation ink can not be easily replaced.If you have any questions ,please feel free to contact us.
