Requirements For Base Paper of Sublimation Transfer Paper

-
Image
I will tell you how to choose good base paper of sublimation paper . In addition to the basic requirements of the general coated paper, the base paper of the sublimation transfer paper has certain requirements of the tightness and breathability. The First is the larger tightness, generally more than 9g/cm with small air permeability. If the tightness of base paper is to small and the air permeability is too large, the sublimation ink will diffuse outward through the back of base paper during the sublimation transfer process and will affect the  printing effect. Second , the base paper should also need better tensile strength and heat resistance. Especially after the heating process, the base paper still needs to maintain a certain strength. When selecting the original paper, the heat resistance index is also a very important testing parameter. Only in this way can the paper still have high strength in the process of continuous high temperature production, and the paper will n

How Can We Avoid Humidity Affect Sublimation Printing?

Many things may affect the effect of sublimation process, including substrate and sublimation paper. Let's talk about the common situation:  Color shifting (colors lose accuracy)  Image bleeding  Uneven transfer of solid filled areas of a design. The high humidity will influence the drying speed of sublimation paper. It will be very low and the worse situation is caused by paper touching the printing head. Most of customers may have this problem.  Therefore, it is very important to control indoor humidity. I suggest each customer should have a hygrometer to measure temperature and relative humidity (RH).  How can we do to avoid the effect of humidity of sublimation printing? So the followings are important humidity factors you should focus:        1.    Avoid the moisture that comes with your clothes. First you should restore your sublimation paper carefully.  They should be placed in a cool & dry place to avoid direct sunlight. When dealing wit

You can find 45gsm , 60gsm , 70gsm , 80gsm , 90gsm and 100gsm sublimation paper now on the market.  And how to make your choice? What's the difference between different weight of sublimation paper? Which size is more suitable for you?  You may meet those problem in your work, so today I will introduce for you. 45gsm, 60gsm, 70gsm sublimation paper is suitable for high speed machines. So we make with jumbo rolls for large format printing. (Size: 0.21m - 1.8m* 60m,80m,100m,120m,200m with core of 2 inches and 3 inches) 80gsm and 90gsm sublimation paper is better for light image printing, because 80 or 90gsm sublimation paper is thinner than 100gsm one. If your image need too much more ink, 80gsm paper will shrink. Meanwhile you need to control the humidity in 40%-60%. In this way, your paper won't shrink. 100gsm sublimation paper suits to textile which requires lots of ink. For example, printing a large area of dark color, you need to choose 100gsm subli

What's the different printing principles? As I have mentioned in my article before, laser printers mostly print documents in general. Consumables are relatively cheap and fast, and the quality of photo printings is not good. Home use sublimation printer can refer to Pocket Photo of LG and Selphy of Canon, can only print small photos up to 6 inches. The printing quality can only be average, but it can meet most users' demand. Inkjet printers can apply more photos and the quality depends on the price of the printer. The printing size varies from 6 inches to A3+, also the large format printers for design companies and advertising companies. What's the different structure of a multifunction printer and a dedicated photo printer? Usually multifunction printers are divided into 3in1 printer and 4in1 printer. The 3in1 printer comes with a scanner so it can print, copy, and scan . The 4in1 printer has one more fax function, and the photo printe

Although thin, the area weight is the same as Kodak's mainstream photo paper. The best color reproduction. Fuji's color management is absolutely first class. This is not comparable to any other business. It is more in line with Asian aesthetic habits. The good base paper. It is produced from raw material fine fiber.

Although paper is not quite as extreme, between printed jobs that use different boards that might have the same but with different thicknesses. It mostly happens  in uncoated boards with cheaper grades having the same thickness but weighing less than more superior grades. The followings are the c ommon board weights and their approximate thicknesses : 200gsm = 150 to 220mics 250gsm = 190 to 285mics 300gsm = 237 to 342mics 350gsm = 284 to 395mics 400gsm = 315 to 460mics Photography paper is considerably thicker than conventional multipurpose paper.
