Is it possible to sublimate on nylon?

While it is possible to sublimate nylon at low temperatures, there are many types of nylon and they react differently to dyes. There are some nylon fabrics that are pre-treated with additives to help with dye absorption, and the ones most commonly used in textiles are nylon 6.

People think differently regarding the sublimation for nylon. Some claim that nylon will take on a vintage print not that pretty, while some say that it can be even more vibrant than polyester. Some say that dye retention is great after washing while others say it can be easily washed out. However, there is a tendency for the dye to oxidize in the sunlight, which will fade over time.

So why nylon instead of polyester? It all comes down to what the fabric is gonna be used for. As to performance, polyester has better moisture wicking properties and pilling resistance (nylon absorbs more water, keep wet for a long time, and will block breathability). The great thing about nylon is that it lasts longer (when dry) and it is much softer, smoother, and stretchier; as silk substitutes, nylon is great for hosiery and knitted garments.

If you find nylon the wonderful material for sublimation,we would suggest you try and try and try again, and then you may find out what temperature and time works best. So for your next sublimation printing project on nylon, you may turn to us for details of Sublimation transfer paper and then test them on your nylon clothes.

B lotches and spots in your transfers can happen   at any time  and anywhere . T his is a problem generally caused by excess moisture in the environment or on the substrat e. Left : Perfect transfer result.  Right : Blotches and spots in a poor paper Common   sublimation materials like polyester fabric, hardboard, plastic and even metal materials like aluminum and stainless steel can  be sublimated, and w hat happens when there is moisture on a substrate? When water is heated ,  it turns into steam vapor which starts to escape upward , however, since dye-sublimation ink also turns into a gas, the steam vapor from the areas that have even the smallest amounts of moisture clash with the sublimation gas which will  prevent a full and consistent transfer . So how to resolve this blotchy results ? The quick solution is to pre-press substrates immediately before applying & heat pressing the sublimation transfer. Pre-pressing is done by...

The sublimation is a fantastic technique customization that allows you to create personalized gifts with maximum image quality a fantastic finish and all with a minimum investment . With a team of A4 sublimation you can create a wide range of customized products for your business, as we present in one of our previous posts . Clearly you can stamp your shirts sublimation printer but have to be of polyester and white or light colored .  Sublimation takes place in two steps : First you have to print your design on   sublimation paper  using your sublimation printer equipped with dye sublimation ink  secondly you have to apply heat and pressure with a heat press machine to transfer the design from paper to sublimable shirt or object. It is in this second step wherein sublimation, that is the chemical process in which heat and pressure deposited on the printed paper, inks become gas and actually takes place penetrate the polyester fiber . The...

Almost daily we receive queries such as: "In my sublimations white dots appear," "When sublimate colored spots appear", "Why leave when sublimate colored dots?". It is a fairly common problem in this post will look at the possible causes and how we can implement a solution. Cup with colored dots on Sublimation Use quality materials It is the basis for a good result, so you must ensure that all materials guarantee professional results. 1.
