Introduction To Thermal Transfer Processing Technology

Thermal transfer processing is no longer a nascent industry, but rather new in terms of printing technology. Although it has been introduced to China for more than ten years, it is still very strange for a small partner who is not in this industry. Let's talk about this technology today.

The traditional production method is to use computer graphics to print the pattern on the surface of the heat transfer film, and then use the heat transfer machine to transfer the pattern to the product. After forming, the surface of the finished product is combined with the ink layer.

For example, some children play with mouse pads, food packaging and transfer stickers (that is, stick various patterns on the arms and face, and then peel off the film). The principle of heat transfer is basically the same as this sticker. It must be noted that thermal transfer works better than transfer stickers. In fact, heat transfer products are very common in daily life, such as: cups, clothes, mouse pads, hats, food packaging and even stationery.

In addition, thermal transfer technology can also be applied to various plastics, polypropylene, ABS, wood, coated metal and other surfaces. At the same time, the color of thermal transfer printing is bright, the color difference is small, and the pattern level is also rich. Most designers can meet the requirements. The most important point is that it is suitable for mass production.
