Qu'est-ce que l'impression par sublimation ?
Dye sublimation transfer printing is a technique of mirroring pictures and images on sublimation transfer paper using an inkjet printer with sublimation ink. In the base material, the color of the image on the paper is vividly transferred to the textile, porcelain cup, porcelain plate, metal and other materials through the new process.
What paper do you use for dye sublimation printing?
The use of sublimation paper must meet two conditions: one is a digital printer with a traditional micro piezoelectric print head, such as: Epson, Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki or with an industrial print head, such as Kyocera Ricoh, etc.
The second is thermal sublimation transfer ink, this disperse dye-based ink sublimates and colors the substrate at a temperature of 180℃-220℃.
