Do You Know the Advantages of the Sublimation Ink & the UV Ink,What Are The Applications of Them?

Hi, Nice to see you.It's a sunny day in Nanjing.Today the topic is about the advantages of dye subliamtion ink and UV ink,and introduce some application about these two kinds ink. first of all ,I introduce dye sublimation ink to you! Read the following and I will share you more.

The dye sublimation inks are a pigment suspended in a liquid solvent, like water. The images are initially printed on coated heat-resistant 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).There are many advantages of dye sublimation ink,such as Good image printing, ,waterproof, washing standing and so on.

Sublimation inks produce brilliant colour and good light fastness when applied to polyester and polyester coated substrates. Applying heat to the printed image with a press, whether through transfer paper or directly, fixes these vivid inks into the polyester substrate allowing the item to be washed time and time again.Sublimation inks mianly used for Textile,Hardware ,fashion,polyester,sports weard and so on.

Next,UV inks are rising in popularity for several reasons. Water-based inks are cumbersome to dry and solvent-based inks require removal of part of the solvent, after transfer, which is challenging to dispose of with environmental regulations. Both water-based inks and solvent-based inks require a drying process which takes time and also reduces the efficacy of the ink as ink costs in volume and around 40% of the ink base is lost in drying or curing.

UV inks offer many benefits such as being more environmentally friendly than solvent-based inks, good opacity, light-fastness, resistance to smearing, sharp contrast, and a nice gloss. The UV inks, again because of the lack of evaporative agents, will maintain consistency throughout the whole press run, never getting thick or sticky.

Even water-based inks often use chemical catalyst components that require harsh cleaners to remove, when cleaning the printing equipment. Cleaning must be done on a regular basis to prevent the plugging of the printing cells, leading to high costs over time. Thus UV inks save time, money, and environmental waste by greatly reducing the need for cleaning.

Okay, These all above are my share about the advantages of dye subliamtion ink and UV ink.what's more ,you can learn something about their applicatons.

Sublimation Ink & Dye Ink & Pigment Ink,What Kind of Inkjet Printer is Suitable for Them Respectively

Hi, Nice to see you,my friends!Today the topic is about how to distinguish the sublimation ink from dye ink & pigment ink. I think you must know that there are three kinds of ink (dye ink, pigment ink and sublimation ink) on the market, but you may don’t know how to choose them. In order to answer this question, you must know what it is and why use it. Here I would like to introduce them to you, then you will know the answer.

Sublimation ink is a dye-based ink which has a very high transfer rate.
It is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form (Just like dry ice). The transfer rate on the common color jet paper is 80%, and the transfer rate of the special heat transfer paper is more than 90%.It is suitable for sublimation inkjet printers.

Usage: used for thermal transfer products, such as polyester cloth and other chemical fiber fabrics.
Advantage: bright color, scratch-resistant, washable, waterproof, fastness.

DYE ink is a molecular-level fully dissolved ink, it dissolves in water like sugar does in water completely. It’s also known for easily obtaining saturated, brilliant colors due to its small molecular size, 1.5-4 nanometers (1 nanometer=1/1000 of a micrometer, 1 micrometer=1/1000 of a millimeter). But the dye will re-dissolve and the ink will flow across the paper if drops of water hit the paper. For normal document printing on inkjet paper, photo paper, pvc card etc, we would recommend dye ink as it is much economic compared to pigment ink.

Usage: It is suitable for common printers ,can be used on the normal document printing which is not used for a long period of time.
Advantages: will not plug the nozzles, eye-catching colorful printing, low cost.
Disadvantages: easily faded in direct sunlight or water immersion.

Pigment inks use tiny particles of colored material to provide ink color, rather than paper-staining dyes. Pigment inks are comprised of tiny, encapsulated particles that sit on top of the paper, instead of being absorbed into a paper is fibers, which is what happens with dyes. Most pigment ink printers also offer more subtle color shading, since they use up to eight different ink colors. Pigment inks are much more stable than dye-based inks, and can last more than 200 years on some paper types, under ideal (museum-quality lighting and framing) conditions.

Usage: outdoor used document, T-shirt printing on dark based / light based cotton materials with transfer papers.
Advantage: water-proof & UV resistant.
Disadvantage: large particles may cause plug of the nozzles, the color is not so vivid as dye ink, higher cost than dye ink.

Okay, These all above are my share about the difference of the three kinds of ink (dye ink, pigment ink and sublimation ink),and then you have knew what kind of inkjet printer is suitable for them respectively! Our company have many kinds of sublimation ink ,if you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.

Teach You How to Prove One Sublimation Ink is High-quality Through These Five Points

Hi, Nice to see you.After the introduce of the sublimation paper in the last articles.Today the topic is about the dye sublimation ink,do you know how to prove one sublimation ink is high-quality?Follow me,I will share five points to teach you how to buy the high quality dye sublimation ink!

1.“Color Reduction”
A high-quality sublimation ink ,it must have a very high”color reduction”. Otherwise the transfer result is not vivid. Our high quality sublimation ink ,could restore the original color more than 90% percent.

2.The size of sublimation dye particle.
The smaller the particle, the better the quality of the sublimation ink. If the particle is too big, first it will block the printing head. Second the printing result and transfer result will not be fine and smooth,you could see some small particles through magnifying lens.

3.Pure Color
For sublimation ink , a very big problem is that the black color is not black enough. If the color is not pure, no doubt it could not restore the original design to your substrate.

4.The majority Clients Sublimation Ink.
Some clients often complaint that after printing, the dye sublimation paper dries to slowly. They think it is the sublimation transfer paper problem. Actually the drying time also has something to do with the sublimation ink. Some clients buy the cheap sublimation ink (10-30 usd per liter), which the major component is water, not sublimation dye, so in fact , you are printing water to the sublimation paper rather than sublimation ink, no doubt the paper is drying too slowly.

5.Price.
The higher the price, the better the quality.

Okay, These all above are my share the five points to slove the question——How to prove one sublimation ink is high-quality.If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.
