Characteristics of digital heat transfer processing
May 13, 2022
What is thermal transfer processing? Thermal transfer processing is a new method of printing patterns on goods of various materials, especially suitable for making small and diverse personalized and customized goods, as well as printing patterns containing full-color images or photos. The principle is to print the digital pattern on the special transfer paper with special transfer ink through the printer, and then use the special transfer machine to accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the product at high temperature and high pressure to complete the product printing.
Thermal transfer technology can also use a variety of different transfer materials to achieve different printing effects. The most important ones are film transfer and sublimation transfer.
The transfer paper for film transfer contains colloid, and then the colloid pattern is printed on the surface of the product by means of high temperature and high pressure. Using imported transfer paper and ink of excellent quality, the printed colloidal pattern is very thin, breathable, non-stick, non-cracking, washable and not falling off; different from many domestic transfer papers used in the market, the printed The glue pattern is thicker and often has the disadvantage of sticking and cracking. Cool music.com's 100% cotton clothes are printed with film transfer technology.
Sublimation transfer is a new generation technology, using special sublimation ink and sublimation transfer paper. The pattern will not produce gum when it is printed on the product. If it is transferred to the clothes, the ink is directly sublimated into the fibers of the clothes, and the firmness is the same as that of cloth dyeing.
Quick-wicking sweatshirts and Physical comfort shirts use sublimation transfer technology.
