80gsm Fast Dry Sublimation Paper for Heat Press

Sublimation paper for heat press is a new technology that prints color images and patterns in a plateless form. It combines the traditional heat transfer with digital printing technology. In the beginning, heat sublimation paper was not used in the textile industry. But later people applied it to the garment industry. Here, the digital thermal transfer bases on inkjet printing technology. Besides, it can guarantee a certain width and length. So sublimation paper for fabric is suitable for industrial production.

Advantages of sublimation heat transfer paper:

What’s thermal sublimation paper for heat press? It is to heat the thermal transfer ink to penetrate into the object at high temperature. So it can form brightly colored images after sublimation. Therefore, quick dry sub paper are durable. The image will not peel, crack and fade.

1. Firstly, quick drying

Because dye heat sublimation paper has fast drying speed, there is no gear trace. This can save time and printing quickly. Due to the uniform coating, the ink absorption is faster. Besides sublimation paper for fabric is smooth without curling. Paper distortion is small, so printing is smooth.

2. Secondly, high printing accuracy

Our sublimation transfer paper has a good transfer rate. Therefore, the color of the transferred object can be more gorgeous. Also save ink. Large amount of color release during transfer. So it can effectively improve the degree of color reproduction. Besides it supports 1440, 2880, 5760dpi printing accuracy. So the heat sublimation paper is suitable for full color image output. Small text is clearly visible.

3. Thirdly, easy to operate

Compared to traditional printing and dyeing, sublimation paper for heat press is easy to operate. The computer directly typesetting, modification and production. Simple operation and high efficiency. So it significantly reduces costs. It doesn’t need to make printingplate. So dye sublimation transfer paper is very suitable for the personalized printing market.

Moreover, because it is digital transfer, it is a eco-friendly printing and dyeing process. There is no need for color fixing and washing. So sublimation paper for fabric will not produce dye waste water.

4. Finally, not easy to fade

The sublimation paper for heat press has sufficient strength and toughness. No wrinkling in the transfer process. And it can keep the effect for a long time. It will not come off even after frequent washing. Good breathability and no printing hand.

Compared to iron on transfer paper, heat sublimation paper has no hard touch. For sublimation heat transfer paper, it sublimates the dye ink into the fabric at high temperature. So it does not fade easily.

How to use sublimation paper with heat press?

Firstly the thermal sublimation printer prints the pattern on heat sublimation paper. It can print hundreds of meters an hour. Then stamping machine transfer the pattern onto fabric / textiles. It’s simple to operate. Generally speaking, one machine can print out thousands of goods in 8 working hours a day. The digital heat transfer production process is as follows:

1. First of all, prepare inkjet printer and special transfer ink. For example, epson printer and dye sublimation ink.

2. Then make the pattern mirror print to the sublimation paper for heat press.

3. Next, laminate the printing surface and the fabric. After about 210 ℃ temperature flat pressing or rolling ironing. After heat pressing, the pattern will be sublimation pad printed on the fabric.

Precautions when heat transfer prnting:

(1) When cutting out the print pattern, keep a 3-5mm white border at the edge of the pattern. To prevent ink spillage.

(2) Keep the object clean and tidy before transferring.

(3) The sublimation paper for heat press is suitable for coated objects and chemical fiber, less cotton fabric. So do not transfer on black (dark colors) or cotton textiles or fabric.

(4) Heat pressing time varies according to temperature and fabric, generally 15-30 seconds. Different items set different temperatures.

(5) Take care of storage. Please do not fold or damage the surface. Besides, avoid high temperature, humidity and direct sunlight. Also, in order to ensure the print quality, please put the remaining heat sublimation paper back into the bag and keep it sealed.

(6) To achieve the printing effect you need, please test the sublimation paper for fabric firstly. Then choose the best print setting mode.

FAQ

Q1: is there sublimation paper for dark fabric?
A1: Sure. We also have the sublimation transfer paper for dark garments and cotton fabric.

Q2: can you sublimate on any fabric?
A2: Yes. The heat transfer paper has different kinds. We can use them to sublimate on different fabric.

Q3: is sublimation paper and heat transfer paper the same?
A3. In fact, the sublimation paper for heat press belongs to heat transfer paper. First of all, their principles are similar. Secondly, the transfer method is basically the same. But the latter has a wider range of applications than the former.
