Thermal Sublimation Printer: The Best Partner of Digital Camera

January 06,2022

In the early days of the popularity of digital cameras, people were more used to saving photos in computers, and the value of existence was shrinking. Nowadays, printing photos has become a new trend with the development of technology.

 

And now, thermal sublimation printer has become the choice of most people. So, what is the working principle and characteristics of a thermal sublimation printer?

 

Working Principle of Thermal Sublimation Printer

Thermal sublimation technology uses thermal energy to transfer the pigment to the printing medium. The intensity of each color is controlled by the temperature change of the print head. There can be 256 levels at most. Because the pigment is applied to the paper through the vapor phase of the sublimation process, the fusion of the three primary colors can form a continuous color gamut, which is much better than the ink drop effect of inkjet printing.

 

In terms of printing effect alone, colorful thermal sublimation printer is regarded as the best partner of a digital camera. Therefore, this kind of printer is often called colorful digital photo printer. It is especially suitable for photos that are required of exquisite and delicate texture of human portrait when printing, and it has the characteristics of long-term preservation and not easy to fade.

Features of Thermal Sublimation Printing

 

High-quality image and photo output function

 

Since the intensity of each color of the thermal sublimation printer is controlled by the temperature of the print head, and each printing color point can show a change of 256 color scale concentration, and the pigment is applied to the paper through the gas phase of the sublimation process, the three primary colors can be fused to form a continuous color scale. Moreover, the color thermal sublimation printer does not have the problem of ink droplet diffusion.

 

Its actual resolution is ideal. And the thermal sublimation printing of 300dpi is equivalent to the effect of 4800 × 4800dpi color inkjet printing. Therefore, as far as printing effect is concerned, the images that are printed by using sublimation can be as fine and lubricate as a spray, and the color fidelity and reducibility of the printed images are better than those of inkjet printers and color laser printers.

 

Long-term preservation

 

When the thermal sublimation printer is used to output an image, the printer will apply a protective film to the image. This is a unique function of this kind of printer. After the film is applied to the image, the photos do not only have the characteristics of waterproof and wear resistance, but also the preservation is much longer than the photos outputting by the traditional inkjet printer. And its overall color feeling will be more bright and bright.
