Selecting the appropriate sublimation transfer paper involves considering several crucial factors:

Ink Capacity and Limits

The ink limit plays a significant role. Papers with higher ink limits require heavier weights to absorb ink moisture without issues like curling or warping.

Ink Pattern

Complex designs with varying ink densities can pose challenges on lightweight papers, leading to curling and shifting after pressing. Optimal solutions involve using papers of 110gsm or higher, capable of accommodating diverse ink densities effectively.

Roll to Roll or Roll to Sheet

For calendar heat presses, low-gsm papers are preferable. However, heavy ink loads necessitate careful consideration of capacity and limitations to avoid consequences like warping and curling.

Print Speed

Paper quality is influenced by the printing speed. Fast printing tends to produce lightweight paper, while slower printing results in thicker paper. Adjusting print speed contributes to the desired paper thickness and quality.

Sublimation Paper and Environmental Humidity

Low Humidity (Below 45%)

In low humidity conditions, opting for 80gsm paper is recommended. Reduced humidity levels cause paper shrinkage, resulting in the print side becoming distorted or hunched-up during the process. The absorption of ink exacerbates this issue, leading to the distortion. Papers with higher weights like 100gsm and 120gsm, being stiffer, are prone to damaging the print-head due to the increased "hunch-up." The softer nature of 80gsm paper can alleviate the distortion, safeguarding the print-head.

High Humidity (Above 70%)

Under high humidity conditions, selecting 110-120gsm paper is advisable. Elevated humidity levels make paper prone to dampness, leading to increased softness and reduced stiffness. Utilizing low-weight paper becomes challenging due to decreased stiffness and hardness, causing difficulties in smooth printing. Therefore, in high humidity environments, opting for 110-120gsm paper ensures smoother printing processes.

Applications of Sublimation Paper

Apparels: Suitable for Lycra materials, cycling apparel, Polyamide fabrics, Swim & Surfwear, 100% polyester (stretch) garments, running apparel, and ice hockey wear. Also ideal for Sports and functional textiles.

Home Uses: Versatile for creating Curtains, Blinds, Cushions, Table Covers, and Towel Cleaners, among others.

Advertisement: Well-suited for producing Flags, Banners, Felts, Gaming tables, and various Home Textiles.

Sublimation paper serves as a foundation for sublimation transfer. Images, printed in mirror reversal via inkjet, flat, screen, or gravure printing, are transferred onto media through heat and pressure. This process transforms the ink on the paper into a gaseous state, amalgamating it with the media.

In contrast, heat transfer paper is utilized for heat transfer. Images printed via flat or gravure printing are fused with media through heating and pressure to transfer the image onto the material.

Ink and Media

- Ink: Sublimation paper pairs with sublimation ink, while heat transfer paper is compatible with sublimation ink, pigment ink, solvent ink, or others.

- Media: Sublimation paper allows transfers onto polyester, mouse pads, banners, and hard surfaces like mugs, ceramics, and aluminum plates. Heat transfer paper, however, is typically used for transfers onto cotton.

Successful dye-sublimation necessitates a two-part process:

1. Printing graphics onto specialized transfer paper using sublimation inks.

2. Employing a heat press to transfer the ink-on-paper design onto the desired item.

Varieties of Heat Press Machines

Small Format Heat Press

Primarily used for sublimation onto t-shirts and small items like caps, mugs, plates, and shoes.

Calendar Heat Press

Large-format presses designed for handling flags, large exterior banners, and various soft-signage applications. Also suitable for day-to-day soft signage and fabric sublimation. By adding a table attachment, users can cut and sew apparel pieces using this unit.

Flatbed Heat Press

Versatile presses capable of heat transferring onto fabric, aluminum, hardboard, floor mats, and other unique media. While they lack the capacity of handling rolls and large fabric sizes like Calendar heat presses, they offer adaptability across diverse materials.

3D Vacuum Heat Press

Compact desktop machines enabling heat transfer onto materials with curved edges or shapes. Ideal for sublimation onto pre-treated objects and sublimation blanks such as smartphone covers, mugs, picture frames, sporting goods, buttons, and more.
