Heat transfer printing technology originated in Europe and South Korea and other developed countries, in recent years, due to the strong domestic market demand, China has become the world's largest heat transfer printing products consumption and production processing.Thermal transfer paper is one of the important consumables in the process of using thermal transfer printing technology. China imports about 1300 tons of thermal transfer paper every year.At present, American AW company, A1Tr company, South Korea Hansol company and the Netherlands thermal transfer paper quality is better, but with the development of thermal transfer technology and the broad domestic market demand, thermal transfer consumables products are concerned by the relevant domestic production enterprises.
Thermal transfer printing technology is to print patterns on thermal transfer paper, and then by applying a certain temperature and pressure,The pattern is transferred to the substrate, in this process, the thermal transfer paper acts as a transfer carrier.Thermal transfer paper can usually be divided into two types according to its principle: hot melt adhesive and thermal sublimation.The surface of hot melt adhesive heat transfer paper has a layer of hot melt coating, this kind of heat transfer paper is usually only used for printing materials of pure cotton, silk, hemp materials.Thermal sublimation thermal transfer paper is a computer pre-made pattern, printed on paper with special ink jet printer, and then the thermal transfer paper and the substrate overlapped together, at a certain temperature and pressure, the ink on the paper sublimated into a gas phase transfer to the substrate to form a continuous complete pattern
