How much do you know about sublimation printing on textile?

    

    Dye Sublimation printing (also known as heat transfer printing or dye diffusion thermal transfer printing) is a method used for high-quality photographic output and as the technology and equipment used becomes more advanced and cost effective digital printing in this way has become mainstream.Traditional screen-printing is replaced by digital textile printing solution like sublimation printing for shorter production runs and prints that require multiple colors and photographic imagery. The digital alternatives are ideal for the personalization of prints, which is extremely popular nowadays.It is  is a technique that uses heat sensitive inks. These inks turn into gas under the influence of heat with a substrate.
What do you need to prepare for it?
1. Printer and ink
    A high-quality printer equipped with sublimation inks is essential. These inks have many color-giving elements and are highly concentrated, which is necessary to create beautiful, vivid and crisp images.
2. Software

3.Sublimation paper
     To create high quality sublimation printing products, you need a fast sublimation transfer paper with high ink absorption and drying. Paper needs to be kept flat and anti-curl. It will not move easily when printing. It is also important for paper to release ink during heating. Skyiamge transfer paper does all this, so it is perfect paper for your sublimation printing.
4.Heat press machine
     Printing is only the first step in dye sublimation. In order to achieve sublimation transfer, you need heat and pressure. So you need a heat press.You need a minimum temperature of 200°C for sublimation to take place.. According to the textile, we suggest that the temperature is 200 °C to 230 °C and the exposure time is about 30 seconds, and ink transfer from paper to medium by heating.Please note that when you need to adjust the temperature and / or exposure time, the result is not satisfactory.

5.Laser cutting machine
     When these steps are completed, you need a cutting machine. Cut out the necessary parts and make them into the products you want.
     Of course,the premise of doing all this is to make sure that you need to produce what the product is, not all products can be done with sublimation transfer, such as cotton is not a appropriate choice.If you want to engage in the heat sublimation industry, and suffer from no experience, don't worry,kindly contact us,we offer one-stop solutions about sublimation printing.
