During the printing process, the technician may notice that the sublimation paper they purchase from the existing supplier will curl during the printing process. The curled paper often scratches the print head, shortens the print life and, to a certain extent, causes damage to the printer. In fact, sublimation paper curl problem is not completely solved, but we can find the cause of the problem and to prevent.
Here are a few reasons why curl occurs.
1.The humidity of the air too high or too low.
Under normal conditions,we should keep humidity between 40%-60% . Never too high or too low.
2.The ink is too much.
If the ink system allows or requires a large amount of ink to be loaded, the paper will have to absorb too much ink, which makes the paper very damp and makes it easy to curl.
3.The wider the sublimation transfer paper is the easier to curl.
The width of paper may, in some point, have a connection with the curling of paper after the printing process, but technically speaking, it affects a little in the real operations.
4.The thickness of sublimation transfer paper
Generally speaking, the thinner the paper, the easier the paper might be curled, and that is why most users would choose to use thicker papers. But thinner paper, like 45gsm, 60gsm can also perform very well with some famous printers, like MS JP4 etc. This depends on production need.
Here are some tips help you to solve this problem
1.Use high quality sublimation base paper
Sublimation-based paper made of natural wood pulp (cork and hardwood), with a long fiber length. So performance and scalability are better.
2.Use Anti-curl coating
Base paper has two sides: smooth surface and wire surface. Sublimation heat transfer paper is usually printed on only one side. Therefore, the sublimation heat transfer paper need only have a sublimation ink-receptive coating on the side that receives and fixes the sublimation ink. So smoother side will be coated.The wire side can be uncoated or not.
3.Heat sublimation paper storage
To pay more attention to the storage of Sublimation paper comes to be a nice choice to avoid the curling of paper as well. The storage condition should be:
1)Waterproof
2) Fire prevention
3) Avoid light
4) Remember to seal when not in use.
