What is transfer paper?

Thermal transfer paper.

Various patterns are printed on a special paper with special thermal transfer ink, and then the patterns are transferred to the products through temperature and pressure. This special paper in the process of thermal transfer is called thermal transfer paper. Transfer printing refers to the printing process in which dyes are transferred to fabrics through transfer paper.

According to the sublimation characteristics of some disperse dyes, disperse dyes sublimed at 150 ~ 230℃ were selected, mixed with slurry to make "color ink", and then printed on transfer paper according to different design requirements (this is a special paper, so it is called transfer paper);

Then, the transfer paper printed with the pattern is in close contact with the fabric, and it diffuses into the fabric under the condition of controlling certain temperature, pressure and time, so as to achieve the purpose of coloring.

Advantages of expanding data thermal transfer paper;

1, simple printing

There is no need for plate-making, plate-making printing and repeated color matching, and there is no need for various tools and materials needed for screen printing and thermal transfer. To use a general printer, you only need to prepare an ordinary computer.

The operator can print independently, saving manpower and material resources. The method is simple and desirable, and the experience of the operator is not high, as long as he knows simple picture processing software.

2, no damage

It can be printed not only on hard materials, such as crystal, stone, metal and glass, but also on soft materials, such as leather, cloth and cotton. It can be printed on inorganic matter or complex and changeable organic matter.

More and better compatibility with materials, avoiding the problem of selecting materials for screen printing and water transfer printing, and avoiding the damage of thermal transfer printing to organic materials such as leather, cloth and cotton. It caters to the diversified needs of the market and can better provide users with more comprehensive production services.

3, the location is accurate

It avoids the problem of position deviation encountered in manual printing-universal printer no longer follows the traditional printing mode and method, and is no longer a simple manual operation and process printing in the past. It is better combined with high-tech computer synthesis and automatic control technology, which can accurately align the area and position to be printed and avoid the position deviation problem encountered by manual printing.

Because it is a one-time multi-color printing, there will be no problem of color registration. These advantages can also be combined with engraving and etching very effectively, such as printing beautiful pictures in the engraved area or precise etching after printing. , in the carving industry can also have a good breakthrough.

4. Picture printing

Traditional printing methods, such as screen printing, can't realize all color transitions according to pictures, so the effect of screen printing will be clearly defined, and it is difficult to reflect color transitions in two colors according to the pictures themselves.

However, many products need to print high-precision and high-complexity patterns such as trademarks and logos, which are widely used in the gift and handicraft industries. Universal printer can perfectly meet this demand, which fully embodies the strong market potential. Break through the bottleneck brought by screen printing, thermal transfer and other printing methods, and find new profit growth points for customers.

5. Professional application

The universal printer can change the content and effect of printing at any time, and can print numbers one by one without complicated plate making. Many products have product codes on the metal nameplate behind them, and each group of codes corresponds to a product.

For example, the badges and work permits of factory employees can also be printed according to one-to-one numbers, and the heads can also be added. The manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low.
