Comprehensive understanding of the digital thermal transfer technology (I) – Printing, Digital Print

Article by hi joiney

One, understanding and awareness of the digital thermal transfer technology1, what is the digital thermal transfer technologyDigital sublimation thermal transfer technology is the integration of traditional and digital printing technologies combined to form non-plate printing color images and designs a new technology. In China the first application of this technology mainly on advertising, signs, card, ceramic video production, later with the expansion of application fields, more used in industrial production, such as digital printing and garment manufacturing, shoe manufacturing, ribbon, clothing Label And other industrial production, the applications increase. The first application of this technology

countries the United States, South Korea, Italy, Switzerland, China and other countries. From the last two years in terms of market scale in China has become the world’s largest market of digital thermal transfer process. Many international brand thermal transfer color printing ink have pegged the beginning the huge Chinese market, participate in market competition, a great atmosphere of the situation, competition will become increasingly fierce.

Here, we talk about is the digital thermal transfer Ink jet Printing technology as a form of digital thermal transfer technology, because this form of technology can guarantee a certain width and fixed length, suitable for industrial production.

2, the digital thermal transfer technology and market significanceDigital thermal transfer technology can be customized to meet the market development and consumer demand for personalized products, the emergence of a new technology to traditional thermal transfer technology and traditional markets of the effective heat transfer added. So, strictly speaking, digital heat transfer technology and products in the market positioning of individual product markets. Traditional heat transfer products due to technical limitations and cost constraints plate is difficult to produce small batches of customized products. Therefore, in the traditional thermal transfer market, is on personalized products before the advent of the digital thermal transfer technology is a market gap. The emergence of this technology makes personalized products make it possible thermal transfer. Moreover, digital heat transfer image pattern of the printing quality of the product far more than the traditional thermal transfer technology. This is the digital thermal transfer technology within a few years the popularization of reasons.

Second, how to distinguish and understand the digital thermal transfer and heat transfer1, What is thermal transfer Usually speak thermal transfer is a transfer technologies and products, is the use of heat transfer equipment, heat transfer paper to design and image after heating to 180 – 230 transfer of printed materials in different media forms of technology.

Thermal transfer technology was first used in textile printing and dyeing industry, shoe industry. Later, with the development of the times, the advancement of technology applications continue to grow, especially the emergence of digital technology and the emergence of concepts of individual consumption to thermal transfer technology more popular and widespread, emerging applications, covering almost all areas of materials. Such as: metal, wood, stone, ceramics, glass, PVC, leather, chemical fiber fabrics can be applied to technology transfer and beautiful patterns and image transfer, production and the production of fine products.

2, thermal transfer printing of two waysThermal transfer printing, there are two methods for a sublimation transfer printing methods for a heat-transfer mode.

Sublimation method refers to the rise of hot paste disperse production or gravure printing, silk screen printing with the paper, it will transfer printing paper pattern to the desired media.

Thermosetting transfer mode refers to the use of plastisol ink (or hot melt glue), after using screen printing, printing paper, printing paper pattern to transfer to the shirt and clothing products.

Two printing methods in the application there is a clear distinction between sublimation transfer printing method is mainly used in chemical fiber fabric and coated with a thermal transfer coating of hard material, the main mode of heat transfer applications in solid cotton products on.

Two printing methods on the texture difference is that dye-sublimation transfer printing pattern does not change the material after the original texture, feel and perception of sound. After heat-transfer pattern formed on the surface layer of jelly attachments, feel bad, airtight.

Two printing methods in the production, all with advantages and disadvantages of different characteristics.
