1. Different in nature
1. Thermal transfer ink properties: mainly used for heating transfer printing products.
2. Sublimation ink properties: the printing process of transferring sublimation heat transfer ink to fabric through transfer paper.
Two, the characteristics are different
1. The characteristics of thermal transfer ink: It is printed with pigment ink, even if it is printed on ordinary paper, it will not bleed. Moreover, because the pigment itself is waterproof, it is not easy to be decomposed by ultraviolet rays, making it water-resistant and light-resistant. Even if it is used outdoors, the printed matter can be maintained for more than one year without obvious signs of fading.
2. Features of sublimation ink: The pattern printed by this process is rich in layers, bright in color, ever-changing, small in color difference, and good in reproducibility. The image will not fall off, crack or fade, and is wear-resistant and sun-proof, so sublimation heat transfer products have greater durability advantages.
It can achieve the effect required by the designer and is suitable for mass production; the transfer process transfers the exquisite pattern on the transfer film to the surface of the product through a transfer machine (heating, embossing), and the ink layer and the product surface melt into One, lifelike and beautiful, greatly improving the grade of the product.
