| Ink Sublimation For Heat Transfer Offset Machine |
Sublimation inks are designed to apply a mirror image onto paper for transfer to the final substrate. The prints are transferred via heat and pressure onto most polyester or synthetic materials. When first printed onto paper, sublimation inks appear to be weaker and duller than standard inks, however when transferred onto suitable substrates, the dyes develop their true color strength and brilliance.
1. Use Principle
It is used on all kinds of offset machine. With the ink, first print image on paper, then transfer the image onto various materials by heat transfer press, especially for polyester fabric. Under high temperature, the ink will become gas and go into fabric.
2. Printing Techniques
OFFSET (one color, two color and four color machines).
3. Colors
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).
4. Specific Supports
Coated paper, offset paper, chrome paper, calendered paper from 80-90 gr/m² with dimensional stability.
5. Suitable Fabrics
Polyester fabric.
Triacetate fabric.
Nylon fabric.
Acrylic fabric.
Polypropylene nitrile fabric.
6. Use Method
(1)Be able to adapt to the demand for middle-speed or high-speed printing.
(2)During the normal condition, use the ink on the machine directly.
7. The printing process just needs 3 steps
(1)Print the image on paper, and normal paper is ok.
(2)Put the printed paper on substrate, such as polyester and nylon fabric.
(3)Put the paper and fabric on the heat-transfer machine. When the temperature reaches 180-220°C, the image will be transfer printed from paper onto the substrate.
