What kind of ink is suitable for thermal transfer processing?
作者:
Thermal transfer printing I believe everyone knows that thermal transfer printing requires professionally matched thermal transfer inks. So what is the ink used for thermal transfer printing and what are its characteristics? How to tell if it is suitable for thermal transfer ink?
1. Thermal transfer ink is also called thermal sublimation ink. It is mainly used to heat transfer printing products. Thermal transfer ink can be heated by a thermal transfer machine to clearly print patterns and text on other products. It is one of the essential materials in the thermal transfer industry. Compared with other dye inks, pigment inks and water-based inks, thermal transfer inks have a bright color and high density. Thermal transfer inks are mainly produced in the United States and South Korea. American thermal transfer inks and Korean thermal transfer inks The color is bright and deep, and the patterns of American thermal transfer ink and Korean thermal transfer ink printed on the paper are light and clear. After being heated and transferred by the thermal transfer machine, the image is clear and the color reproduction is high. This is also the imported thermal transfer ink. the advantage.
2. Dye ink is a molecular-level fully soluble ink. This ink is a complete composite solution. The probability of blocking the ink head is very small. It is easy to be absorbed by the material after printing, and the color is bright. In addition, the cost is low, and the disadvantage is that it is not waterproof, and because the dye molecules are quickly decomposed under ultraviolet light, the color fades significantly within a month of outdoor ultraviolet use. The advantages are that the colors are bright, the layers are distinct and the price is lower than that of pigment inks, so it is the first choice for printing pictures and making color inkjet business cards.
3. Pigment ink is just an image, which is powder ink. Of course, this is only an image, and it is not accurate enough. To be precise, it grinds solid pigments into very fine particles and dissolves them in a special water solvent. It is a suspension solution or semi-solution, which is the same as the pigment properties of thermal transfer printing and dyeing clothes. Contrary to the principle that dye ink penetrates into the medium to form color, it develops color by attaching the color material to the surface of the medium (such as copy paper or printing paper, etc.).
