Heat transfer printing: heat transfer patterns are printed on heat transfer paper by a page printer and embossed by a hot press.
Thermal sublimation: The thermal transfer ink is printed on thermal sublimation paper by a thermal sublimation printer and embossed by a hot stamping machine.
Ordinary printer application in the heat transfer industry is the heat transfer printer, as simple as that.
However, their effects are different.The effect of printing is not only affected by the image pixel, but also the resolution of the printer. The quality of the printer is not good, and it is useless to use a clear image.If you want to make your product more colorful and higher quality, I recommend you to choose OKI's C711wt or C941dn, both of which have white printing function, ultra-high resolution and excellent performance.
At present, there are two main working principles of thermal transfer printer on the market: piezoelectric printing and hot foaming principle.Epson printer is using piezoelectric print, piezoelectric printer because only change mechanical pressure won't cause changes in the chemical properties of thermal transfer ink, it is controlled by computer to change the print head size of the piezoelectric ceramic piece small currents to produce different pressure form different shades of ink out of the nozzle spray images;Suitable for heat transfer printing.EPSON series of R210/230/270/290/Me series are the most suitable for personal thermal transfer printers.
