What should Pay Attention to when Using Sublimation Transfer Paper?

August 18,2022

Sublimation transfer paper is a new process. It is a kind of picture and text such as landscape, portrait, text, etc., which is printed on the inkjet paper for thermal sublimation transfer in a mirror image mode using an inkjet printer equipped with thermal sublimation transfer ink, and then heated to 200℃ by thermal transfer equipment. The sublimation ink on the sublimation transfer paper is sublimated and infiltrated into the substrate so that the color image on the paper can be realistically transferred to textiles, porcelain cups, porcelain plates, porcelain plates, metal, and other materials. craft.

 

SUBLIMATION TRANSFER PAPER

 

What should be paid attention to when using sublimation transfer paper?

       

  1. The sublimation transfer paper needs to be sealed when not in use, and it should be placed in a place that is waterproof, fireproof, and protected from strong light.

        

  1. When the printing operation is stopped for a long time, the paper needs to be removed from the media holder and put back in the original sealed bag for storage.

        

  1. Before production, color calibration of the computer, ink, printer, transfer paper, and heat transfer machine should be carried out, and the surface of the transfer machine should be kept clean. Before transfer, a small sample should be tested, and the formal transfer can be carried out after gaining experience. print.

        

  1. For fabrics that are prone to shrinkage due to heat, they can be pre-flattened 1-2 times before printing and then transferred.

        

  1. To prevent the blurring of the transfer image and text, the hot pressing surface, the transfer paper, and the surface of the substrate must be close to each other during thermal transfer, and there should be no gaps.

        

  1. To ensure that the same effect can be maintained during mass production as during proofing, records must be made during proofing, and the printing parameters, transfer temperature, and time must be recorded.

        

  1. When transferring, the most suitable transfer temperature and transfer time should be set according to the operating environment and machine conditions. Special attention should be paid to selecting different transfer times and transfer temperatures for different fabrics.

 

Steps of printing clothes on sublimation transfer paper

 

  1. Do not preheat the clothes. When using the sublimation transfer paper, the clothes do not need to be preheated.

        

  1. Heat transfer paper Put the heat transfer machine temperature button between 350-375 Kelvin (177-190 ℃) and wait for it to heat up to the set value.

        

  1. After the image printed on thermal paper is completely dry, the entire image is trimmed along the blank edge of the image (no edge can be seen after trimming).

        

  1. Hold any corner of the blue side of the thermal transfer paper and gently stretch the paper on that corner. The paper will be stretched and peeled off easily.

        

  1. Then, tear off a small triangle from the paper.

        

  1. Then you need to carefully balance the lower heat transfer paper from the blue grid paper.

        

  1. Place the side with the image in the position where the clothes need to be transferred to ensure that the image is flat and smooth on the clothes before transfer. It is necessary to put another sheet of silicone paper on top. Make sure the entire image is completely covered with silicone paper. Note: If you want a smoother image, place a striped blue grid paper on top of the image with the bright side of the image facing down instead of using the supplied silicone paper.

        

  1. Heat for 15-30 seconds until the transfer paper is completely cool to the touch and it can peel off from any corner to the other.
