A logo applied to a canvas backpack, using fabric transfer paper in a desktop ink jet printerTransfer paper is used in textiles and arts and crafts projects. Transfer paper is a thin piece of paper coated with wax and pigment. Often, an ink-jet or other printer is used to print the image on the transfer paper. A heat press can transfer the image onto clothing, canvas, or other surface. Transfer paper is used in creating iron-ons. Transfer papers can also be used for the application of rhinestones to clothing and other arts and crafts projects.[1]
Inkjet
[

Most conventional inkjet printers are not capable of printing white (though many wide-format and direct-to-garment inkjet printers offer white ink as an option). So on these devices, in any white areas, the garment's existing colour shows through. The mirror of the image is printed on paper. When it is transferred, the result is the mirror of the mirror (the original) results. Inkjet transfer paper for dark garments is covered with transferable white ink. For dark garments, the image is printed without mirroring. Garment printing needs transfer paper for high-quality garment printing results. [2]
Washability for inkjet transfer paper is not as good as for screen-printed items.
Dye sublimation
[

]
For dye sublimation transfer paper, fabrics historically had to be white or light in color. 100% polyester, poly/cotton mix (the garment should be at least 50% polyester) microfibre and nylon can all be used. This printing process turns solid ink into a gas, avoiding a liquid stage. This process can be used on ceramic, wood, glass, or metal as long as they have a polymer coating.
Transfer papers now exist for most textiles, including elastic fabrics used for making sportswear and swimming suits, and for natural fiber fabrics such as cotton, silk, linen, and wool.
Colour laser
[

Colour laser transfer is very similar to the inkjet transfer paper process and allows the decoration of any combination of fabric blends including 50/50 poly/cotton blends as well as 100% cotton textiles. This type of transfer paper is used for industrial printing jobs on a large scale offering better quality paper and image transfer.
History
[

]
"The initial intent for this method of moving a pre- made image from one location to another was to serve as an essential substitute for ink. In , Pellegrino Turri, an Italian inventor, invented carbon paper to provide the ink for his mechanical typing machine, one of the first typewriters."[3] Ralph Wedgwood obtained the first patent for carbon paper in .[4] Wedgwood's technique was then continuously perfected.

PRINTING & STORAGE GUIDANCES
Printing :
Unpack the wrapping vinyl one day prior to printing in the printing room to acclimatize.
Image side could be wounded by the outside of the roll. So, make adequate size of image for the paper width.
The printed paper should be sufficiently dry before the transfer.
Our paper has excellent performance of holding inks even at the high speed printing mode.
Printer and Ink Compatibility :
If you are looking for more details, kindly visit t shirt sublimation paper.
Our paper has been tested and work successfully on the most famous brands of inkjet printing
systems equipped with dye sublimation inks.
All Pieze Electric Drop on Demand printers like Epson, Mimaki, Mutoh and Roland printers have provided
really excellent results with our paper.
Printer Setting :
Recommend a Heavy Coated Paper print mode for all printer brands and models. Do not oversaturate the paper.
Use ICC Profiles to optimize your particular printer/ink/RIP setup
Press Setting :
Recommend
a little more pressure and temperature in 100gsm sticky pressing.
Pressing time and temperature shall be differently applied in accordance with the substances.
It is also important to check the quality of heat transfer press machine.
Material Storage :
Dye sublimation transfer paper is mostly very week against moisture.
To protect unused papers, it is recommended to store the papers in its original packaging with inner
poly bag at 59-86degree F / 15-30degree C and 30-50% RH.
*Please note that transfer paper DOES have a shelf life; it lasts about 1 year depending upon storage. It must be kept sealed in its plastic bag. High humidity or dry conditions can shorten its shelf life.
Defination of Sublimation
Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying a dye printed image to a specially coated surface like ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, transfer paper, heat and pressure.
a.Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert a solid into a gas, skipping the liquid phase.The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic mugs, tiles, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. You must purchase these materials like mugs, tiles, metals, etc. with the coating already on them, it is not something you can coat yourself.
b.Dye Sublimation Transfer Paperor Dye-sublimation paper, or dye-sub paper, is specially designed to accept dye-sublimation inks. The ink conversion imprinting process is done with heat and controlled by pressure. The coated dye-sub printed paper can be the final end-product, but dye-sub paper is most often used as a type of heat transfer paper to imprint the sublimated ink onto a specially coated surface.
c.Heat Transfer Sublimation paper used as heat transfer paper in dye-sub printing is not coated like the receptor surface. It has a special finish that prevents the ink from soaking into the paper. After the paper is printed with the transferable image, it is placed on the coated surface of the receptor product to be imprinted with heat and pressure from a heat press.
The dye-sublimation printing process is used to print on polyester or other synthetic fabrics. It is used for applications such as T-shirts, banners, table covers, id cards, sportswear and flags. The original printers were an electrostatic technology using toners but now are generally large format inkjet printers using specially formulated inks. The dye sublimation inks are a pigment suspended in a liquid solvent, like water. The images are initially printed on coated heat-resistant dye sublimation transfer paper as a reverse image of the final design, which is then transferred onto polyester fabric in a heat press operating at a temperature around 180 to 210 C (375 F). Under high temperature and pressure, the dye turns into a gas and permeates the fabric and then solidifies into its fibers. The fabric is permanently dyed so it can be washed without damaging the quality of the image.
What sublimation can and can't do
Imprint cotton shirts. As mentioned before, sublimation needs polyester in order to complete the process of transfer. Sublimation will turn out best with only 100% polyester shirts. Cotton shirts should be completed with heat transfer paper.
Imprint 65/35 and 50/50 shirts with bright colors. Since a percentage of the shirt is still cotton, the sublimation ink does not have enough polyester to create a vivid transfer. The image will end up with dull colors, especially after washing. Again, using heat transfers for cotton shirts is really the best option.
Imprint colored shirts. Any colored background drastically alters the imprint colors. Since sublimation will become part of the shirt, any color already on the garment will overwhelm the transferred image.
Imprint non-polymer-coated items. Remember that sublimation is printing into the coating, not the item.
Imprint gold/silver metal used by award companies. This is another instance where the background color of the substrate will interfere with the image.
Advantages of dye-sublimation over other methods of textile printing:
Images are permanent and do not peel or fade.
Dye does not build up on the fabric.
Colors can be extraordinarily brilliant due to the bonding of the dye to the transparent fibers of the synthetic fabric.
Truly continuous tones can be achieved that are equivalent to photographs, without the use special techniques such as half-screen printing.
The image can be printed all over the entire item, with no difficulty in printing all the way to the edges.
Disadvantages:
The printer speed is low.
Any creases in the apparel during printing leave blank spots behind.
APPLICATIONS:
Dye sublimation inkjet printing technology is becoming popular in various personal and industrial applications.Sublimation paper must be printed by sublimation ink, transfer rate highly to 93%.It with high quality graphic and best color retention . Adapts to polyester fabric , coated mug, ceramic plate, CD box, sports wear,mouse pad, pillow case,advertisement flag and etc. Could not use on the 100% pure cotton textile.It suitable for the inkjet printer as Roland / Mimaki/ Mutoh / Epson and etc. Use heat transfer machine to transfer the photo on fabric and other materials .This is no pollution process without use of water or dyes stuff or chemicals in your work environment .
