What process makes T-shirt printing to make the sublimation printing more durable?


1. Color fastness

In the thermal transfer process, the color fastness of heat transfer and thermal film transfer cannot be compared with the color fastness of thermal sublimation transfer. The thermal sublimation ink penetrates into the fabric through the heated sublimation mirror image, which has no effect on the material of the clothes. It is very difficult to fade after cooling, because sublimation is a reversible process, but T-shirts are usually not heated above 210 ° C, and ordinary washing, drying and drying have very little intention to print. The hot-pressed film and heat transfer will inevitably fade after washing too much.

The color fastness of silk screen printing is also very good, but the problem of silk screen printing lies in other aspects. This discussion will digress, so I won’t go into details. From the point of view of the title, the color fastness of silk screen printing and sublimation transfer printing is very good. , to ensure the durability of printing.

2. The impact on T-shirts

Silk screen printing and sublimation transfer transfer will not affect the material and feel of T-shirts, while heat transfer and thermal film transfer will make the surface of the clothes look like a layer of glue is attached. In this case, if this layer of glue is worn, it will affect the printing. In fact, because of the different textures, the printing on the clothes is easily worn, not limited to washing.

If the subject wants to enter the pit T-shirt printing, it is recommended to use sublimation transfer or silk screen printing. If you want a variety of T-shirt materials and fabrics, the application materials of silk screen printing will be more. If you want to customize T-shirts If so, sublimation transfer printing will be better, not limited to clothing, but also DIY mugs, DIY photo frames, DIY porcelain plates, etc.
