Dye sublimation Printing Technology and Printer

Printing technology:
Dye-sublimation printing is a digital printing technology using full color artwork that works with polyester and polymer-coated substrates. Also referred to as digital sublimation, the process is commonly used for decorating apparel, signs and banners, as well as novelty items such as cell phone covers, plaques, coffee mugs, and other items with sublimation-friendly surfaces. The process uses the science of sublimation, in which heat and pressure are applied to a solid, turning it into a gas through an endothermic reaction without passing through the liquid phase.
In sublimation printing, unique sublimation dyes are transferred to sheets of sublimation paper via liquid gel ink through a piezoelectric print head. The ink is deposited on these high-release sublimation transfer paper, which are used for the next step of the sublimation printing process. After the digital design is printed onto dye sublimation paper , it is placed on a heat press along with the substrate to be sublimated.


Advantage: 
The biggest advantage of using dye sublimation printing is that it does not make the printed image look like a network of dots with void spaces in between when viewed from close quarters, as happens in the case of traditionally printed pictures. Instead, it gives a huge boost to the print quality, due to the fact that the ink colours fade in at edges of pixels through gradation. Thus, no white gaps form between the pixels, which helps the image to achieve a natural and robust look. Besides that, dye sublimation printing also reduces the image’s vulnerability to water damage and fading over time.



Regular Dye Sublimation Printers:

A typical dye sublimation printer consists of a long transparent film roll inside it, which resembles sheets of gray, blue, red and yellow cellophane stuck to one another by their ends. Solid dyes that correspond to the basic four printing colours – cyan, yellow, magenta and black – are embedded within the transparent film. As the print head passes over this film, it heats up and converts the dyes to gas vapours. The vaporised dyes permeate the surface of the printing paper before returning to their solid form.
Modern dye sublimation printers can produce prints quickly. and that too at high capacity. This feature makes them ideal for printing on the spot in places such as theme parks or events. The images come out from printer all dry and ready to be handled. There is no need for worrying about the pictures getting tarnished due to smudges.
Printers that are used for dye sublimation come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Many companies even manufacture compact printers that can be ideal for need portable models. If a business needs a high quantity of prints within a short period for time, it can easily go for a dual deck dye sublimation printer. Some high-level printers are even designed to produce multiple photo finishes and image sizes. Large format printing supplies that are printed by dye sublimation process often find their use in various items such as hanging banners, exhibition graphics, event sashes, etc.
