Brief Analysis of Sublimation Transfer Digital Printing Technology

Digital textile printing is maturing and is eating away at the traditional screen printing market. With the emergence of more and more flatbed machines and professional printing machines in the market, the digital printing market has drawn a beautiful blueprint for people to get rich.

What is digital printing?

Digital printing is printing using digital technology. Digital printing technology is a high-tech product that integrates machinery, computer electronic information technology and is gradually formed with the continuous development of computer technology.

The emergence and continuous improvement of this technology have brought a new concept to the textile printing and dyeing industry, and its advanced production principles and methods have brought an unprecedented development opportunity to the textile printing and dyeing industry.

However, because the equipment and processing procedures required for professional digital printing are very cumbersome, and the printing effect is not satisfactory, the personalized digital printing has been unable to find an entry point.

Therefore, many people want to use a flatbed printer to print pigments or even dye inks to obtain qualified printed products when they are not familiar with digital printing. However, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results without professional fabric treatment. This is mainly because the fabric needs to be processed. Preprocessing and postprocessing can only be used.

Advantages of dye sublimation transfer digital printing

The most mature digital printing technology that is often ignored by people is thermal sublimation transfer digital printing, that is, the thermal transfer ink is passed through any inkjet printer, mainly a piezoelectric inkjet printer, and is first sprayed onto the paper. After the temperature is raised to 180 °C, the pattern is transferred to the fabric. The effect of sublimation transfer digital printing is very good, mainly because the pattern will not be blurred due to ink drift, and it has the characteristics of bright color and washing and light resistance of dyes.

Sublimation transfer digital printing is mainly used for chemical fiber or blended fabrics, and it cannot be printed on pure cotton. As the digital printing of pure cotton products, textile printing pigment ink is the best choice at present, but it is generally necessary to carry out special pretreatment on pure cotton fabrics to reduce the penetration of ink and prevent the picture from blurring, and then fix the color by high temperature steam. However, textile pigment inks for digital printing cannot achieve the effect of thermal transfer.

The continuous development of digital printing technology

At present, the technology that is really used in commercial and industrial digital printing is mainly dye-sublimation transfer printing, which has become popular in the world in the last year.

This is mainly due to the low price of thermal transfer inks launched in China, making large-scale digital printing less expensive. Therefore, those who intend to engage in digital printing can consider using both thermal transfer printing and direct injection of textile pigments. After all, chemical fiber products account for the largest proportion.
