There are many types of heat transfer printing on clothing, and there are two main categories of common heat transfer printing methods:
(1) Sublimation heat transfer printing
Sublimation heat transfer printing simply means that disperse dyes (or sublimation ink) are pre-printed (or printed) on a specific paper by a machine, and then passed through this paper , using high temperature and high pressure to transfer the pattern on the paper to the fabric to be printed, completing the entire thermal transfer printing process.
However, with the development of technology, the industry has made some refinements, allowing transfer printing methods to emerge in an endless stream. The most prominent thing is that paper is also used As a transfer printing carrier, gravure printing machine printing of disperse dyes is the mainstream printing method.
(2) Heat transfer printing
Unlike the sublimation heat transfer printing method, the printing material is not like sublimation dye It will produce sublimation (vaporization), and the printing material will not print under high temperature and high pressure, causing the slurry to penetrate into the fabric fibers. Although it can also be pressed with a transfer machine, the “print” on the surface of the garment will be like a layer of “plaster” “The same thing is attached to the surface of clothes.
