Two Owcors-Supplied Sublimation Consumables
Sublimation printing has its own unique printing process and range of applications, so the choice of printing material needs to correspond to the inks and papers.
Sublimation Ink
Our sublimation printer ink is compatible with all types of printheads, smooth and non-clogging. Even for ordinary airbrush paper, the transfer rate is still over 80%, pairing with our Paper can stable transfer without affecting the pattern reproduction.
Sublimation Paper
Simple and clear cost and style does not affect the transfer of the design of the fine and clear, pairing with our inks is the icing on the cake! fast drying plus good ink absorption characteristics speed up the printing speed, ensure the reproducibility and durability of the pattern after transferring.
Why Owcors Sublimation Consumables
Good ink color reproduction, high saturation of the output pattern color gamut, compatible with most sublimation printers.
The pattern after transferring with ink is scratch-resistant, wash-resistant, non-shedding, non-fading, and weather-resistant.
The paper has a transfer rate of over 95% and good color performance after transfer, making it suitable for most sublimation printing.
The paper is inexpensive, stable printing effect, controllable cost, not easy to curl after transferring, faster drying speed.
Understand Sublimation Printing
- Sublimation printing can be used for the customization of garment patterns by sublimating the print effect directly onto the garment, unlike transfer printing. Therefore, it can be used on fabrics with elasticity.
- Customized printing of personalized gifts (such as cell phone cases, keychains, mouse pads) can also be solved by sublimation printing, so that the gift itself is more aesthetically pleasing.
- Products made of polyester fiber are often customized with sublimation printing (e.g., flags or banners), and similar customization can be achieved for apparel.
- Similarly, some materials with hard surfaces (ceramics, stainless steel, etc.) can be customized with sublimation printing.
High-Temperature Dispersion Ink
High-temperature dispersion ink is more suitable for large-scale sublimation printer, single-side effect is colorful, double-sided penetration effect is uniform, sublimation fastness is good, the color material does not migrate.
Medium-Temp Heat Transfer Ink
Medium-temperature thermal transfer ink is simpler than high-temperature ink in terms of process application, high efficiency and low cost, and the color fastness level is better than that of low-temperature ink.
Low-Temperature Heat Transfer Ink
Low-temperature thermal transfer ink matches the mainstream low-weight transfer paper in the market, which is fast drying and non-staining. Sufficient color saturation and cost-effective.
Low-Fume Thermal Transfer Ink
Low fume thermal transfer ink in the transfer process, small fume, low VOC emissions, color saturation does not lose other sublimation ink, and good compatibility with the printhead.
High-Permeability Heat Transfer Ink
High-permeability thermal transfer ink is mainly for highly elastic fabrics or fabrics, to solve the problem of stretching and revealing white color after transferring, better permeability than ordinary ink.
Sublimation Transfer Paper
Sublimation transfer paper differs from thermal transfer paper in that the unique grammage concept allows the paper to have different application scenarios and faster ink absorption and drying rates.
Choose Right Sublimation Printing Material For Your Print
Sublimation printing material are not just one type of ink or one type of paper, but have different categories.
Advances History of Sublimation Printing Supplies
Sublimation Consumables vary in type and have been iterated and upgraded as the market has evolved.
Ink innovations are most frequent in the sublimation printing industry. Earlier, inks were individually formulated for each print head, whereas today they are compatible with a wide range of print heads, a change attributed to improved formulations.
Changes in ink formulations have led to the concept of different types of inks, such as high-temperature dispersion, low to medium temperature thermal transfer, low smoke thermal transfer, and high-permeability thermal transfer, which have achieved the ultimate in color visual presentation and hardware compatibility.
However, sublimation paper has not changed much, and the innovation from thermal transfer paper to sublimation paper is still mainstream today. The research on its thickness is relatively more intensive at this stage in order to adapt to more printing needs.
The Change of Ink
Ink upgrades have resulted in increasingly smooth operation, hardware matching, color richness, liquid penetration and environmentally friendly formulations.
The Change of Paper
Different grammages have different application, even if there is compatibility of use, the difference in grammage will affect the transfer result, including color and clarity.
Sublimation Printer Supplies Use Process
Check that the sublimation ink can be used on the printing device, do not use other inks instead of sublimation ink, make sure that the ink is compatible with the printing device and then start designing the pattern.
Use printing equipment to print patterns on sublimation paper. If you encounter paper that appears to be wrinkled or wavy and bulging after printing, replace the paper in a timely manner to avoid affecting the final result.
Using hot press equipment to transfer the pattern on the sublimation paper to the product, you need to determine the fabric and color of the product itself, and choose different sublimation ink according to different materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use Sublimation Ink for regular printing?
This is not recommended, Sublimation Ink development progress are to solve the sublimation printing in dealing with a variety of fabrics in the difficulty, if used for ordinary printing, too wasteful!
Can you use Sublimation Ink on dtf film or other paper?
Sublimation ink can withstand high-temp during sublimation printing, but dtf film cannot withstand such high temperatures, and the same applies to other papers, which is why there are special sublimation papers.
Can you use regular ink on Sublimation Paper?
There’s no need to do this, while regular inks can be printed on sublimated paper, these patterns are subject to temperature changes, and secondly, regular inks don’t have the sublimation conditions to transfer to the substrate.
Can you use Sublimation Paper in any printer?
Sublimation paper is the key to solving heat press transfer, because it needs to withstand the temperature of sublimating the ink onto the item, so sublimation paper is dedicated to sublimation printing. Different printers use different consumables.
