What do you need for sublimation transfer?

Sublimation paper transfer is more and more popular nowadays in the whole world , the reason is not only it solves the problem that polyester can not be dyed with pigment in dyeing factory, but also due to the transfer process is very easy , investment capital is also cheaper than others, like screen printing, silk printing,Offset printing etc.

Today we are going to share with you the whole sublimation process and the equipment you need , to help you know more about sublimation paper transfer, if you are planning invest sublimation transfer, this will also help you calculate the probable investment amount.

The whole sublimation process including:
1, Design your image with Photoshop , CorelDRAW, or Adobe lllustrator.

2. After your design if finished , print your image (mirror printing) with an ink-jet printer (like Epson, Mimaki etc) that use sublimation ink, with sublimation paper.
3. When the sublimation transfer paper completely dries, transfer the image to the substrate with the heat press (Flat or Roll heat press, mug heat press, 3D heat press etc). The whole process is finished. Sounds very easy, right ? Now let’s discuss the equipment separately .

1.A computer with design software.
You may create your design yourself, remember that sublimation has strict requirement in the image DPI (resolution, or dots per inch), if you want to get a very good transfer result, you’d better create a high resolution image ,more than 300 dpi.
Some people want to do the transfer use their own picture, then you’d better get a very good cellphone , or a good camera.

2. An ink-jet printer
This including desktop printer and large format sublimation printer, Desktop printer like Epson Stylus Photo T50, Stylus Photo 1390, large format plotter Epson F6280, Mutoh1638, mimakiJV33. Remember you must use sublimation ink (we will talk later more about printer, ink , color management system).

The 3D mini heat press, the 3D Vacuum heat press. For large format textile transfer ,the roll-to-toll heat press machine, or heat press calendar .

5.Others
If you are going to do sublimation with ceramic mugs, plates,ornaments,phone cover, you need a tape to stick the paper together with the substrate, to protect them from moving. The tape must be high-temperature resistant.
For small size transfer ,you need a pair of scissors to cut the printed sublimation paper into pieces.

A few years ago , the sublimation paper was very expensive too. But now with the development of Chinese sublimation industry, the price becomes cheaper than before. Our technology already catched up with South Korea, and especially in the coating formula , we are much better than their.
