Shishi: Clothing Sublimation Heat Pfer Technology Research And Development Success

Sublimation heat pfer printing technology

Independent innovation research and development by Shishi Hengsheng ink technology research and Development Center

The application of printing ink technology in textile printing industry is still pioneering. The reactive dyes and disperse dyes in traditional textile printing are closely related to petrochemicals. In the era of high oil price of the international crude oil price of 100 US dollars / barrel, the price of traditional dyes has been rising, and it is said that there is still room for improvement.

Sublimation thermosetting ink instead of traditional printing dyestuff.

This technology fills the blank of pure cotton color printing in textile printing industry.

With the sublimation and coloring principle, the technology penetrates the color ink into the interior of the fiber, and solves the technical bottleneck of the traditional cotton fiber which is difficult to stain.

The technology is suitable for film printing and batch printing.

When printing, PS printing is used to pfer the printing paper. When the batch is printed, the gravure plate is made into pfer paper, and then heat pfer (about 150 degrees Celsius).

The traditional textile printing all cotton cloth batch printing, mostly in the water slurry glue way, hard touch, simple pattern, poor adhesion, affect the air permeability, sublimation heat pfer printing can reach the photo grade color effect, the design is exquisite, the color is gorgeous, no concave convex feeling, good handle, good air permeability, no matter batch printing, film printing is applicable, than the printing industry is widely used screen printing to improve printing speed 4-5 times, lower cost, better effect and faster speed.

Because of the strong absorbency of all cotton fabrics, the color dyes are easily absorbed by the fibers. The traditional dyestuff printing is only suitable for polyester and polyester cotton fabrics. It can never break through the printing of all cotton fabrics. Sublimation heat pfer ink printing technology solves the technical problems of cotton printing, and is suitable for all kinds of fabric printing such as cotton, polyester, polyester cotton, elastic spandex and so on.

This technology can be compared with digital printing technology.

In recent one or two years, the digital printing technology has been introduced into the textile printing industry. However, due to the high cost and slow speed, it is difficult to promote mass production.

Sublimation heat pfer printing technology can print 15 thousand pfer printing papers per hour. Digital ink jet printing ink can only print 100 square meters of pattern area per kilogram. Sublimation heat pfer ink can print 1000 square meters per kilogram. The unit price is lower than 60%-70%, and the area of ink printing is 10 times higher than that of the weight. Its economy is incomparable with the digital printing method. It also breaks through the huge obstacle that digital printing can only be used for polyester cotton cloth but can not be applied to pure cotton cloth, and there is no digital ink jet diffusion phenomenon, and the accuracy is higher.

Sublimation heat pfer ink printing technology is widely used in underwear, swimsuit, T-shirt, cultural shirt, advertising shirt, children's wear, jeans, sportswear and so on. The effect is excellent, no color fixing, no post-processing links, foreign customers are amazed by the exquisite printing effect of clothing.

The technology can also be extended to the packaging and printing industry of leather, shoes, hats, plastics and glass, and its vast market prospect is difficult to estimate.
