Print On Sublimation Transfer Paper To Sublimate a Product

The personalization of the object is in constant evolution and the emergence of new printers and new customization processes enables us to offer more and more customizable products with pictures or images.

To offer an original and surprised his entourage by staging its digital memories into unique items, and the sublimation is a customization process on the object that allows a large number of applications (as I told you on the page including sublimable materials).

This process is based on two main stages we try to detail you. The first of these steps is printing with a specific tool to transfer paper with the image that we wish to apply to the product.

Without rehashing you the principle of sublimation on the object, it is important to understand that this process is done with tools specially designed for this activity. Once we have the image in digital format to apply to the product, must be initially printed on the transfer paper with a dye sublimation printer.

Sublimation printer is essential (or at least specific sublimation inks) because it is not standard, but with special pigmented wax that makes ink office. Indeed, the pigmented wax replaces the standard ink. In a sublimation printer wax is brought to high temperature (200 ° C) to go from solid to gaseous state and is projected onto the sheet to cool on contact and become solid.

Printing on transfer paper is made in the same way as a standard print. In the context of the personalization sublimation, just remember to print the mirror image on the transfer paper. Indeed, for the transfer of the product takes place as agreed, we must keep in mind that as part of a transfer, the paper must have the inverted mirror image so that it applies in the right direction on the product.

The advantages of the sublimation process are mainly the color level because they are literally projected onto the transfer paper. In fact, each color dot of the digital image corresponds to a point of the printed image due to the wax used for sublimation. All colors are printable with this process. Other benefits of sublimation printing are the sharpness of the impression (no burrs with this process), color brilliance and resistance in time and personalized product.
