95gsm Dye Sublimation Transfer Paper for textile transfer printing

タイトルまたは説明

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.

We Produce and Wholesales Tacky Sublimation Paper Tacky sublimation trasnfer paper is meant for fabrics, and when it is pressed, it tacks to the fabric. This helps, as the paper will not shift when the heat press is opened, therefore you will be less apt to have ghosting of the image.

What is sublimation and how does it work? Well, sublimation is a great professional way to personalize shirts, coasters, puzzles, mousepads and more. It is similar to heat transfer, however it is a process where the image becomes an actual part of the item. Sublimation uses special paper, ink and polyester-coated items that all react with each other. When heated to high temperatures, sublimation ink turns into a gas and the pores of the polyester coated item open up allowing the gas to enter. Then, once removed from the heat the pores of the polyester item close up trapping the ink inside of the item. Sublimation items are smooth to the touch. You won't be able to feel any image outline if you run your fingers across the sublimated item. The color is so much more vibrant than the inkjet heat transfer paper it's ridiculous!
