Sublimation paper and sublimation ink are common consumables in sublimation printing. However, in actual printing processes, it's inevitable to encounter situations where ink runs low and there's an urgent need to print. As a result, some people may try using regular ink on sublimation paper in an attempt to solve the problem.
If you’ve ever stepped into the world of sublimation printing, you’ve probably heard of sublimation paper. And yes, it’s absolutely essential — sublimation paper is the carrier that holds and transfers the ink onto your final material.
If you’re working with sublimation printing, you’ve probably asked yourself at some point: how long can sublimation ink actually last?
Sublimation printing creates vibrant, durable patterns on a variety of substrates such as fabrics, ceramics, and metals. However, not all printers can handle sublimation inks. Let's explore the keys to this.
Many beginners will assume that sublimation ink will print on plain paper, the answer is no. Plain paper will not produce results when used with sublimation ink. In this article, we will look at why sublimation ink requires a specific type of paper and the importance of sublimation paper for successful printing.
In DTF (Direct to Film) printing, precise alignment between white underbase ink and colored ink layers is essential for producing sharp and professional transfers. However, many users experience an issue known as **DTF white ink shifting**, where the white ink does not align properly with the color layer. This misalignment leads to ghosting, blurring, or halo effects around the design, severely affecting print quality and customer satisfaction.
The inks, films and powders in DTF consumables are central elements in ensuring production quality. However, improper storage DTF supplies can lead to a range of printing problems. In this article, we will discuss this issue and raise awareness of improper storage of consumables.
Using high-quality DTF print supplies is only half the battle when it comes to maximizing productivity and profits. This article explores how the same set of consumables can deliver very different results depending on your printhead choice.
It is common to mix different DTF supplies when DTF printing. Today will look at the possible problems with doing so.
One of the key steps in the direct-to-film (DTF) printing process is to cure the DTF powder to ensure that certain benefits are provided for the transfer of the ink. Some people may try to cure DTF powder with a heat press, but we do not recommend this method. In this article, we'll look at why curing DTF powder with a heat press isn't ideal, and the right way to do it.
