Sublimation printer ink: also known as disperse dye ink, What is sublimation printer ink?
It is a kind of disperse dye with high color temperature, which is wrapped by special
water-based resin and dispersed in water-based system. This kind of ink requires very
high production technology. Because the sublimation printer ink is directly related to
the picture quality and the service life of printing equipment, people will be more careful
when selecting it. Although digital heat transfer printing has not been popular in China for
a long time, due to the publicity and guidance of some dealers and the influence of some
unqualified heat transfer inks in China, the current domestic market is dominated by
European and Korean heat transfer inks. People's ideas in this regard have gradually
entered a misunderstanding. At the same time, the pressure of using costs has become
increasingly prominent, making most of them in a dilemma when selecting inks.
The first mistake is to choose "high-end ink": for the technical indicators of sublimation printer
ink, first is smoothness, second is color freshness, and third is firmness and environmental
protection. These are the key indicators and basic requirements of ink. When these indicators
are met, they are qualified heat transfer printing ink. What suits you is the key.
Mistake 2: The foreign thermal transfer ink is better than that produced in China: it is a fact
that the domestic mass production of thermal transfer ink is relatively late. Sublimation printer ink
has very high requirements for production technology, and there are really few domestic
manufacturers that can really produce this kind of ink. However, the domestic production
process is not lagging behind. With the increasingly mature product research and development,
the thermal transfer ink will certainly be widely recognized by people, just like the advertising
inkjet industry, where the domestic production of printing ink now accounts for more than
90% of the total sales of global ink from the pure imported ink.
Mistake 3, ink can decide everything: for the technology of thermal transfer printing, sublimation
printing ink does play a very important role in the production process of printing quality, but it is
by no means a factor. The cooperation between the machine and the ink, the cooperation between
the ink and the consumables, the cooperation between the pattern and the material, and the
cooperation between the cloth and the temperature will affect the quality of the final product.
In addition, it cannot be ignored that whether the color management is good, the pattern and
temperature, the quality of personnel, and the understanding of color are also important factors
that will affect the quality of products.
