Thermal transfer technology of customized clothing

Thermal transfer printing is a new printing technology, which has been introduced from abroad for more than 10 years. The printing method of this process is divided into two parts: transfer film printing and transfer processing. The transfer film printing adopts dot matrix printing (resolution up to 300dpi), and the pattern is printed on the surface of the film in advance. The printed pattern is rich in layers, colorful, ever-changing, with small color difference and good reproducibility, which can meet the requirements of designers and is suitable for mass production. The transfer printing process transfers the exquisite patterns on the transfer printing film to the surfaces of advertising shirts, T-shirts and other products through one-step processing (heating and pressurizing) by a thermal transfer printer. After molding, the ink layer is integrated with the surface of the product, and the pattern is realistic and beautiful, which greatly improves the grade of the product. However, due to the high technology content of this process, many materials need to be imported.

What is thermal transfer printing? Thermal transfer printing is a new method of printing patterns on various materials, especially suitable for making advertising shirts, cultural shirts, T-shirts and other clothing and personalized and customized goods, as well as printing patterns containing full-color images or photos. The principle is that the digital pattern is printed on a special transfer paper by a printer with special transfer ink, and then the pattern is accurately transferred to the surface of the product by a special transfer machine at high temperature and high pressure to complete the printing of the product.

? Thermal transfer printing technology is applied to the surfaces of various ABS, PP, plastics, wood, coated metal and other products. We can design and produce thermal transfer film according to customers' requirements, and transfer the pattern to the surface of the workpiece by hot pressing, thus improving the product grade. Thermal transfer printing technology is widely used in clothing, apparel, plastics, cosmetics, toys, electrical appliances, building materials, gifts, food packaging, stationery and other industries.

Advantages of heat conversion technology:

Ordinary bronzing machine and thermal transfer machine can complete beautiful pictures.

The offset printing pattern is formed at one time, and there is no need for color registration.

Simple operation, exquisite printing and low production cost.

Low product loss, high added value and strong decoration.

High hiding power and strong adhesion.

It meets the environmental protection printing standard and has no environmental pollution.

Thermal transfer technology can also use various transfer materials to achieve different printing effects, the most important being film transfer and sublimation transfer.

Film transmission

The transfer paper transferred by the adhesive film contains back glue, and then the back glue pattern is printed on the surface of the goods through high temperature and high pressure. Xi' an Anxinshang clothing adopts high-quality imported transfer paper and ink. The pattern printed on this layer of adhesive is very thin, breathable, non-sticky, non-cracking, washable and non-shedding; Different from the transfer paper used in many workshops in China, the printed colloidal pattern is thick and often sticks and cracks.
