Before the advent of heat transfer sublimation paper, the most common printing methods on the market were flat screen printing and rotary screen printing, collectively referred to as traditional printing. Traditional printing needs to be plate-made and color-registered before production, and it has poor performance for patterns with more complex colors or patterns with transitional colors. It is precisely because of the emergence of transfer paper that the printing pattern is digitized, and the green waterless printing and dyeing is truly realized, which is convenient and fast, and you can get what you see. Coupled with the huge pressure on environmental protection in the printing and dyeing industry, it is believed that the market share of sublimation transfer printing will increase year by year.
The emergence and development of transfer paper generally develops with the development of printers. In this process, printers have undergone earth-shaking changes in terms of printing format, printing speed, and printing accuracy. At the same time, the sublimation paper has also undergone major changes in the optimization of width and various physical properties. On the one hand, it can adapt to the progress of printers, and it has made great changes in the aspects of drying speed, transfer rate and printing clarity. Improvement, better application performance, and can effectively improve production efficiency. Of course, both sublimation inks and heat press transfer machines are also influencing each other in this process. Therefore, the four factors of sublimation paper, inkjet printer, sublimation ink, and heat press machine are interrelated and affect each other. At the same time, they are also improving and progressing together, and they are developing in a more efficient and convenient direction.
