How to print patterns on clothes

Many clothes, socks, canvas bags, etc. are printed with rich patterns, although the reasonable matching and design are deeply loved by people. Many choices are heat transfer printing technology. Which printing method you choose for your product will leave you a lot of money and bring you very good results.

Principle of heat transfer printing

Thermal transfer is the use of thermal sublimation principle to transfer digital images to specially processed media. Using thermal transfer technology to make digital imaging products, without making plates, printing, and printing, you can make any text and patterns you like on a variety of porcelain, metal, glass, wood and other utensils and fabrics. Because thermal transfer is not required Plate making, no printing, easy to operate, fast and fast, so it is suitable for on-site production, the application field is very wide, and the production cost is low, the profit is large, the investment is small, the effect is fast, and it is deeply loved by people, so it has a broad market prospect and a high promotion value.

Heat thermal transfer technology

Heat transfer printing refers to a printing method in which the graphics and text on the intermediate carrier film are transferred to the substrate with corresponding pressure. According to the different pressures used, transfer can be divided into water transfer, thermal transfer, air transfer, and Screen transfer, low temperature transfer, etc. Among them, thermal transfer is the use of thermal transfer ink (ie sublimation ink) to print any image of portraits, landscapes, etc. on color inkjet paper (or special inkjet printing paper for thermal sublimation), or ordinary ink on film thermal The transfer paper is heated to a certain temperature within a few minutes by a thermal transfer heating device, and the color of the pattern on the paper is realistically transferred to porcelain, glass, metal, plastic, cotton fabric and other materials.

It can be seen that using thermal transfer technology, even for patterns of multiple colors, since thermal transfer is only a process, customers can shorten the work of printing patterns and reduce the loss of materials (finished products) caused by printing errors. In other words, the use of thermal transfer film printing can make a multi-color pattern into a picture at a time, without the need for color registration, even with some simple equipment can also print realistic patterns, in this way, greatly improve its scope of application and achieve transfer operate.

How to print patterns on clothes

Step 1: Print the image through a color inkjet printer.

Step 2: Put the printed pattern aside first, and start the transfer after about 15-20 minutes. When transferring, when the printed image is placed on the clothes, the pattern side should be facing down, and then adjust the time according to the transfer requirements of the thermal transfer equipment (usually 20 seconds), and close the heating plate of the equipment.

Step 3: In order to prevent the clothes from turning yellow due to the high temperature, a piece of interlining cloth can be put on the clothes for thermal transfer. After the time alarm of the thermal transfer equipment, lift up the heating sheet, quickly uncover the pattern paper, take out the clothes, and turn off the power supply of the equipment.

Step 4: When the temperature of the clothes cools down, fold it and pack it, and then the entire heat transfer printing can be completed, and the finished product can be made.
