Do You Know How to Save Digital/ Sublimation Printing Ink? - There are Five Tips

Hello, nice to see you again, my dear friends. Do you know how to save money during digital printing? The most common printer-related complaints we get are from sublimation printing man bemoaning the high cost of sublimation transfer ink. Yes, sublimation ink can be costly—particularly for people who print in high volume—but there are ways to reduce your printing costs over time. Here, we offer some money-saving printing tips.

Take these tips, will help you to save digital printing ink!
Shop for a printer with a low cost per page. Many printers have a low sticker price, but when you factor in ink costs, you may be paying more for them in the long run. Ink or toner costs tend to be inversely proportional to a printer's price; high-end laser printers often have a very low cost per page, while budget inkjets frequently have high ink costs. But even for printers within a given price range, there may be considerable variation in running costs. It pays to do your research so you don't get stuck with a printer with inflated ink or toner costs.

Skyimage says---One caveat: The most economical cartridges are also the highest-capacity and the most expensive ones, so although you'll have to change them less frequently than the low-capacity cartridges, you will have to pay more for them up front. For instance, replacing a set of color laser toner cartridges can run several hundred dollars. And for inkjets, if you don't print a lot, you may be better off with lower-capacity cartridges.

Check your printer's software or driver settings. Most printers come with a user-friendly software interface that lets you access and tweak many of the printer's functions. All come with a printer driver—a program that controls the printer, converting files and commands into a format the printer can recognize. The driver offers a more direct way (and in some cases, the only way) to change settings, with all the settings accessible through a tabbed interface.

To find the driver, open the Printers page (in some Windows versions, it's called Devices and Printers) from the Start menu or the Control Panel, right-click on your printer's name or icon, and open the Printing Preferences tab.

Whether you work from the software interface or the driver, our recommendations are the same. Look for an ink-saver or toner-saver mode. Print in Draft mode except when presentation-quality output is required. Wherever possible, print in black and white instead of color. If your printer supports duplex printing, using it will enable you to save paper.

Third-party inks may save you money—but at a cost. Many third-party companies offer ink cartridges that they claim are compatible with given printers, at a considerable cost savings from the cartridges offered by the manufacturers. Although the savings are real, sometimes you'll pay even a higher price in headaches. Common complaints about third-party inks include degraded output quality and the need to frequently clean the nozzles. If you're still tempted to try third-party inks, do your homework: Do a search on the ink company and see what other users have said about its cartridges.

Take care of your ink and toner. With older ink cartridges, particulates may come out of solution and clog the nozzles. To prevent this, don't overstock on ink cartridges so they extend past their "use by" date. Also, match cartridge capacity to how much you actually print, to avoid having large-capacity cartridges languish beyond their time. (It's also a good idea to regularly clean the nozzles—your printer should have a setting that will clean the nozzles and print out a test sheet.)

Okay, these are tips that I tell you how to save digital printing inks. 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.

Can you Clearly Distinguish the Five Digital Textile Inks during Sublimation Printing?

As we know, the ink with many types, can you clearly distinguish them? If you can't do that, I hope my artical can help you! The Introduction of Digital Textile Inks: Disperse, Reactive, Acid, Pigment.

Go more in depth with “Dye Sublimation” Digital Textile Inks.
“Dye sublimation” is commonly known as digital textile printing for many in the industry, but virtually it is just one of several processes that can be used. Theoretically any wide-format printer that able to print on textile can be called a fabric printer. In this article we are speaking only about true digital textile printers that are engineered to bond or infuse ink into fabric rather than technologies such as latex or UV that lay ink on top of the surface of fabric. All the inks we mention below utilize water-soluble dyes.

Let’s look at the difference of inks: disperse, reactive, acid and pigment.
Disperse inks are the well-known type of digital textile inks, and this is often utilized in the process of dye sublimation. Disperse inks penetrate directly into the fibers of the substrate, becoming part of the textile itself. And they are broken down into low-energy, medium-energy and high-energy dispersion. For example, dye sublimation inks are literally a low-energy dye dispersion, most generally used for transfer printing from paper to textile. The sublimation process needs the use of a calendar to deliver heat and pressure. Once the ink and carrier is heated to a high temperature (typically around 380-400 degrees F) the carrier evaporates and the dye turns to gas. Then the gas is received by the “open” synthetic fibers, after they cool, fibers shut and encapsulate the colorant, that then returns to a solid, actually dye the textile.

Reactive ink has dyes. It applied to pretreated fabric by setting chemical bonds with cellulose and then fixated. Reactive inks are most suitable for linen, rayon, nylon and other cellulosic materials.

Acid inks need pretreated material for fixation and are printed directly onto the textile then evaporated to set the ink. The acid inks dye textiles by producing ionic or electrostatic bonds with those such as silk, wool, and nylon. It must be mentioned that fabric with reactive and acid ink must be washed after transfer so that any residue can be removed. Reactive and acid-based inks also should be set into the fabrics with a post-heating process to set the dyes permanently.

Pigment inks are finely ground powder existed in liquid carriers with binders. Where sublimation creates constancy when the dye is encapsulated into a polymer, pigments are bonded to natural fabrics using binders and a heat calender process. Digitally printed fabrics are in high demand, so this is an area we expect to see significant growth in the future.

Here is a conclusion of which inks are best for specific types of fabric:
Disperse and sublimation inks are utilized on polyester, acetate rayon, poly-Lycra® and acrylics and post-treatment heat is required.

Reactive dyes are suitable for various sorts of textiles like cotton, linen, rayon, nylon and other cellulosic textiles. Pre- and post-treatment are required.
Acid dyes works best on several kinds of fabrics, such as wool, silk, polyamides, cashmere, angora and nylon, also post-treatment is required.

Pigment inks are utilized in cotton and natural fabrics better. Post-treatment heat process is needed.

Our specialty is to offer “one-stop sublimation printing solution”.
In the process of printing and transferring, the printer, paper, ink, transfer machine, cutting machine and even the software which can deal with pictures are all sold in our company.

Please believe that our professional degree. Engaged in sublimation transfer printing industry for many years, we can provide the best advice for you.

Take Care of The Relationship Between the Print Head And Your Sublimation Ink

  Hi, Nice to see you. In the sublimation printing process,  three important factors are necessary: sublimation paper, sublimation ink and sublimation printer. Then do you know the relationship between them and what should you take care when you operate the printing? Today, I will firstly introduce you the relationship between the sublimation printer and ink. 

  For the sublimation printer, the most important one is the print head. So the relationship between the printer and ink is just the relation of the ink and print head.  If you can't protect your print head in a right way, your print head will be damaged or blocked. In factors that cause the print head block, the ink is also a important reason. Then today I will share you some small tips about how to solve the common problems of the print head from the side of sublimation ink. Read the following and get to know more.

Factor 1  the ink viscosity is too high
   If the ink viscosity is too high will cause the ink  tube adhesion, resulting in insufficient ink supply. The ink volume will be not enough and also cause the color fault. Especially in the winter, the temperature is low, this phenomenon is more prominent.
Solution: To improve the indoor temperature (such as air conditioning, with a dryer, electric heaters, etc.), so that ink viscosity. Or use a more viscous ink.

Factor 2 The Pressure on The Nozzle
  The voltage of the nozzle, because the level of the nozzle can determine the level of the internal pressure of the piezoelectric ceramic bending, and thus high voltage can also increase the amount of inkjet. Does not affect the quality of the picture under the premise of the lower the better. 
Different Situation
  A. The nozzle voltage is high and the ink viscosity is low, it will cause too much inkjet, the speed is too fast, the ink point reflects the bottom of the nozzle to form ink droplets plug the nozzle, there will be burr and floating phenomenon.
 B. If the nozzle voltage is low and the ink viscosity is high, there will be no ink spray, color block is not uniform, not full and so on.
Solution: Replace the appropriate ink or lower the voltage

Factor 3 Ink Viscosity is Too Low
  If the ink viscosity is too low, the ink is too thin, inkjet speed, ink sprayed on the light cloth will be reflected back to the nozzle, causing the ink stagnation in the nozzle, causing nozzle clogging. Long time spray the same color. This phenomenon is more prominent.
Solution: Spray the nozzle with a professional swab sticky cleaning solution. If you want to completely solve this question will have to change the viscosity of high ink.

Factor 4 The Impact of Static Electricity on Equipment And Ink
  In the inkjet process due to the inkjet substrate and the roller friction produced a lot of static electricity, if not promptly ruled out, can easily affect the normal operation of the nozzle, such as ink droplets enough to be affected by static and deviate from the trajectory of the screen And if the static electricity is too large may also damage the nozzle, and the computer equipment under the influence of high static electricity prone to garbled and crash phenomenon, or even burn the machine circuit board phenomenon
Solution:Take the correct and effective measures to exclude equipment Of the static is extremely important. Buried ground is a good way to eliminate static electricity.

  Okay, These all above are my share about some important factors that may damage the print head of the digital inkjet printer from the side of sublimation ink. If you have any needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you with the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.

How Much Do You Know about The Difference between The Sublimation Ink and The Normal Ink?

  Hi, Nice to see you. When we are young, we have seen many kinds of inks and the most common one is the normal ink. Just because we may use the normal ink for writing for studying. And now we have also know about the sublimation ink, this special ink can help us DIY the T-shirt , help us transfer the patterns onto the surface we want. Then how much do you know the difference between the two inks? Read the following articles and I will introduce you more information.

Normal Ink
  Normal ink is a pigment containing a pigment or dye, usually a mixture of pigments, binders, solvents, additives and the like, and the appearance is a mortar having a certain fluidity. The ink is used for writing or painting.The earliest ink has the use of metal, walnut shells or seeds made of dyes or the use of fountain fish, octopus and other marine animals. China's ink is made of carbon made of ink.
  Normal ink made with pigment generally has other substances to prevent the pigment from being erased. This ink does not generally penetrate into the paper, so the ink used in printing can reduce the cost of printing.

Dye Sublimation Ink
  Dye sublimation ink can also be called the sublimation transfer ink. This special ink can make the low-energy,sublimable  dispersion of dye stuffs into digital printing ink, printed on the transfer paper, through the heating, you can in the shortest possible time to produce the image of fine porcelain, metal, silk, chemical fiber fabrics and other materials, very Suitable for personalized development of the market needs and environmental requirements.

Characteristic of Sublimation Ink
  Dye sublimation ink differs from common dye-based ink because the ink is transferred to the medium from a solid state to a gaseous state, sublimation ink ( dye sublimation ink), is made up of sublimation disperse dye and a carrier . The carrier includes water (or solvent,or oil), and some chemical addition ingredient.The disperse sublimation dye has hydrophobic and polar groups ,so it has a very good affinity for synthetic fibers, plastics,the color is very vivid. 
  What’s more, it can spread to the internal fiber and plastic, so when they are transferred to the substrates, the color fastness is very good. Also, the Chromatography is complete, vivid color, color strength, color fastness and washing fastness reach more than 4.5. The sublimation ink is non-toxic ,no pollution and environmental.

  We are a professional sublimation printing and transferring material manufacturer in China. Our sublimation ink has to pass strict QC process in both production and out-going QC. For each color each batch of ink we will load to the printer for actual printing. There should be no breaking lines in continuous printing. So compare with the traditional printing method, sublimation transfer is more beautiful, it could restore the original design better, and the final color on the textile is vivid, vibrant, high-saturated, what’s the most important, it will protect our green earth very well. So if you have any needs or questions with the sublimation ink welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you with the best quality product and service. Thank you for your reading.

How Much Do You Know about The Difference between The Dye Ink And The Pigment Ink ?

  Hi, Nice to see you again. From the side of the Digital inkjet printing, the water-based inkjet ink is the prior choice of people. And the water based ink can also be divided into the dye ink and the pigment ink. But there are many kinds of inks , such as the dye ink and the pigment ink. Then today I will show you the difference about the dye ink and the pigment ink.

Dye Ink
  Dyestuffs are made from water from natural raw materials (eg, some plants) or synthetic materials (the main source).

Advantages and disadvantages
  One of its advantages is that only a very small amount of light is diffused, so the color of the printed works is full and bright, and another advantage is that the ink can be better dispersed on the paper coating to keep the same type of paper luster.
  Although many aspects of the manufacturers have made progress, but the dye for light, humidity and oxidation is very sensitive, this shortcoming will cause a very negative impact, and people tend to pursue the durability of the work.
  Dye ink production costs are not high, generally used for office printing or amateur 
photography (except for individual special circumstances).

Pigment Ink
 This ink contains a pigment (organic molecular material), encapsulated in synthetic resin, and then suspended in the liquid. Pigment molecules are much larger than dyes.

Advantages and disadvantages
  Due to the size, structure and complexity of pigment molecules, this ink is more resistant to light, moisture resistance and antioxidant (including ozone) and other characteristics. Pigment ink also has its flaws, its molecules are larger than the dye molecules, the ink can not be completely attached to the coating and will change the original surface appearance of some paper (the main glossy paper).
  The adverse effects of the same color and bronzing are another drawback of this ink 
technology. Pigment ink is very complex and expensive to produce, so most of the time only for professional or semi-professional printers, used to print pay attention to preservation works.

  Okay, These all above is all my share about the difference of the dye ink and the pigment ink. Hope this article can be useful to you. Of course if you have any needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you with the best quality product and service.Thank you for your reading.
