Transfer printing technology of several kinds of comparison

Thermal transfer products
1, the different classification
Different pieces from the pressure, heat transfer can be divided into:Thermal transfer，Water transfer printing，Gas transfer，Silk screen printingAnd so on.
Thermal transfer: use temperature to make thermal transfer carrier film stripping agent and adhesive layer melt and pressure to transfer.
Water transfer printing: use the water pressure and activator to make dissolved in water transfer printing carrier membrane detachment layer transfer
Gas transfer: use gas pressure to make sublimation ink, sublimation transfer printing on substrates.
Wire transfer: first printed adhesive on substrates, with scraper pressure for transfer printing
Pieces from thermal transfer printing ink varieties classification and the sublimation transfer printing.
Pieces from the transfer content classification with fabric, plastic plate, sheet, film, ceramics and metal coating, etc.;
Pieces from the printing way classification can be divided into the screen printing, flat printing, intaglio printing, embossed, inkjet and ribbon printing, etc.;
Pieces from the classification of substrates such as thermal transfer paper and sublimation plastic film.
2, heat transfer and water transfer printing technology
1) hot pressing and the sublimation
Thermal transfer printing technology is the first to use screen printing, gravure printing, graphic printing on thermal transfer paper or plastic film, and then by heating pressure, graphic transfer to fabric, leather and other items.Traditional heat sublimation transfer printing is silk screen printing will be the sublimation transfer printing ink printed on paper (or plastic), good graphic will be printed paper or film and fabric overlap heating, pressure or vacuum, the dyes on the paper (or film) into the gas phase state sublimation transfer into the fabric.In addition to the fabric, can also transfer to the ceramic, metal and other products.
(2) the water transfer printing
The so-called water transfer printing is through special carrier (special paper specially processed), with water as the medium to re-post the pattern to the surface of substrates.Water transfer printing in don't need to pressure and heat transfer process, so for some high temperature resistant, unable to bear the pressure of ultrathin section is more of a choice.
Water transfer printing has two kinds, one kind is water transfer printing technology, another is the former only the water transfer printing technology of text and pictorial design transfer out, the latter tend to complete transfer printing in the entire product surface.Only the transfer printing technology using a easily dissolved in water of water film to carry graphic.Because the water only the film tension, easily entangled in product surface formed by layers, like spray paint surface have different appearance.
At present more popular, the most widely application scope of transfer printing is water transfer printing and heat transfer.But from the practicability and universality, the application of water transfer printing is more widely and more market potential
3, film transfer printing and sublimation transfer printing
Film transfer printing: film transfer printing transfer paper contain pectin, to high temperature and high pressure and glial patterns printed on surfaces.
Sublimation transfer printing, sublimation transfer printing is a new generation of technology, the use of special sublimation ink and sublimation transfer paper.
4, screen printing and digital transfer printing
Screen printing is to rely on to solve the image color overprint, the transition of color also can only rely on the thickness, uniformity of the network to solve, and like the picture of good quality, high requirement of photos, screen printing won't be able to achieve, can the inkjet technology.
Digital transfer printing is heat transfer images, it is composed of computer design and production, and in a certain format from digital printing equipment on the output to a carrier (usually transfer paper form).When printing, through the thermal transfer printing machine from the image on the carrier will be transferred to the final substrates.
5, transfer printing and indirect transfer printing directly
Commonly known as pad printing direct way.
Indirect way according to the processing methods and conditions to complete, usually intermediate transfer paper.General production transfer paper is complicated, because it is by the end of transfer printing paper, transfer ink layer, the transfer printing glue, and other parts, for small batch products processing cost is higher, but for some high quality demand of printing products, decoration, transfer printing technology has its unique advantages such as rapid transfer, overprint accurate, solid, low rejection rate).
