Sublimation

Sublimation textile printing is a digital printing technology used to print designs onto polyester and polyester-blend fabrics. This process uses heat to transfer dye onto the fabric, resulting in a vibrant, long-lasting image that becomes a part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it like traditional printing methods.

The sublimation process begins with a design created on a computer, which is then printed onto special transfer paper using sublimation ink. The transfer paper is then placed face-down onto the fabric, and both are fed through a heat press at high temperature and pressure. The heat causes the sublimation ink to turn into a gas, which then permeates the fabric and solidifies into the fibers. This results in a permanent and durable image that will not fade, crack or peel over time.

One of the advantages of sublimation printing is that it allows for full-color printing with a high level of detail, making it a popular choice for custom sportswear, fashion apparel, and home decor items. It also allows for the printing of complex designs and photographic images that would be difficult to achieve with traditional screen printing methods.

Another advantage of sublimation printing is that it produces little to no waste, as the ink is transferred directly onto the fabric without any excess ink or residue left behind. This makes it an eco-friendly option compared to other printing methods.

In conclusion, sublimation textile printing is a digital printing technology that uses heat to transfer dye onto polyester and polyester-blend fabrics, resulting in a durable and permanent image that becomes a part of the fabric. Its advantages include full-color printing with a high level of detail, the ability to print complex designs and photographic images, and minimal waste.

Roll to roll sublimation transfer

Roll to roll sublimation press is a specialized printing technology used in the textile industry to transfer high-quality designs onto fabric rolls. The process involves feeding a roll of transfer paper and fabric into the press, where the design is transferred from the paper onto the fabric using a combination of heat and pressure.

The first step in the roll to roll sublimation press process is to print the design onto transfer paper using a specialized sublimation printer. The printer uses heat to transfer dye onto the paper, creating a high-quality image with vibrant colors and sharp details.

Once the transfer paper is printed, it is fed into the press along with a roll of fabric. The press uses a combination of heat and pressure to transfer the design from the paper onto the fabric. The transfer paper is placed onto the fabric with the printed side facing down, and the two are then fed through the press together.

Inside the press, the paper and fabric are pressed together with heated rollers, which causes the dye to sublimate from the paper onto the fabric. This process creates a permanent bond between the dye and the fabric, resulting in a high-quality, long-lasting print.

Roll to roll sublimation press technology offers several advantages over other printing methods. One of the main benefits is its ability to produce large quantities of fabric with consistent, high-quality prints. It is also highly efficient, allowing for fast production times and minimal waste.

In addition, roll to roll sublimation press technology is suitable for a wide range of fabric types, including polyester, nylon, and other synthetic materials. The process can also be used to print on a variety of textile products, including clothing, home textiles, and accessories.
