What's the difference between the water transfer printing and thermal transfer?

Cold transfer printing membrane (water transfer printing) is to quote the printing process, using the principle of molecular diffusion pattern (printing film) transfer to the item, with thermal transfer thermal transfer is through the hot-melt adhesive or thermal transfer coating to absorb heat sublimation transfer printing ink implementation.Visible, through the heater thermal transfer need to achieve, but cold membrane transfer only with the help of water;At the same time, the design of thermal transfer need transfer is generally around the mirror inversion, and cold transfer printing membrane is positive figure.The difference is very big.With a glass, for example, use hot stamping and cold membrane transfer printing can be implemented., thermal transfer needs to be done with baking cup machine, and must be treated with heat transfer coating on the cup, which have limitations in shape, material, color;While cold membrane transfer cups for unlimited cup, also need not use any special equipment.

The difference between it and thermal transfer is: the first is to use chemical solvent makes design printing ink;The nature is high temperature ink.
