Why sublimation paper get curl and How we solve the curling problem ?


When dealing with #sublimation, some people may have encountered a big and serious problem - the sublimation paper curls and scratches the printer head. The worst result is that you take some money from your pocket and change a new printer head. At that time, you will have to find a way to reduce your cost to remain your profit. Today , we are going to offer you a solution to help you out of that problem --- curling ! 

First of all, why sublimation paper get curl ? 
Sublimation paper is a coated paper, made up with two important parts : The base paper, and the sublimation coating, which all have contains moisture. When you put the sublimation paper in a environment of dry air and high temperature, the moisture will evaporate. At this time, if the moisture of the base paper and the coating evaporate inconsistently, the paper will curl. The process of the moisture evaporation, we call it “scalability”.  

Second, what’s the consequence of curling problem ?
As we stated above, When you are printing a heavy ink loading, the paper will scratch and damage the printer head once the paper curls. 

Third, how to solve the curling problem ? 
1.We adopt high quality sublimation base paper instead of the offset paper. This type of base paper is made up of nature wood pulp (softwood and hardwood), which fiber is longer, and more flexible than the offset paper. So the better performance and the scalability can help to reduce the possibility of the curl. 
2.The anti-curl coating. The base paper has two sides, smooth side and rough side.   Typically, sublimation transfer paper is only printed on one side. Accordingly, the sublimation transfer paper only needs to have the sublimation ink receptive coating on the side that receives and holds the sublimation ink. So the smooth side will be coated with sublimation coating and the rough side can be uncoated. 
3.But if the paper is only coated on one side, the structure is not stable and balanced, the paper many have an increased tendency to curl. So the second method to preventing curling problem, is to coat the wire side with a functional coating too. The functional coating ,or named as anti-curl coating, could provide the sublimation transfer paper enhanced stability. 

With above two solutions, we solve the curling problem perfectly. Saving paper cost does not mean saving the total cost. Always a better quality help you  to improve your productivity and to protect your other equipment, that’s the real saving !

How to Avoid Blotchy Results Occurred in Sublimation Process

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 placing the item in the heat press, coverin

Stains and spots on Sublimation: Why the spots occur and how to solve

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. Sublimation inks : Use quality inks to achieve rich, vivid colors, sharp contours and durability in your prints. 2. Sublimation Paper : Paper is a very important time to ensure that the ink transfer element is performed correctly. If you use a low quality paper chances are your design run out of ink in some areas and causing white spots appear brighter areas. 3.Customizable: It is essential that the rigid blank product you go to sublimate have an polyester coating quality as our new cup Infinity

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 . Therefore, to sublimate a f
