Transfer printing process uses a thermal transfer machine to transfer the pattern on the transfer film to the surface of the clothes in one process (heating and pressure). After forming, the ink layer and the product surface melt into one, which is lifelike and beautiful. Enrich the style of clothes.

This process is thermal transfer technology, which is an emerging printing process. The printing method of this process is divided into two parts: transfer film printing and transfer processing. Transfer film printing uses dot printing (resolution up to 300dpi), and the pattern is pre-printed on the surface of the film. The printed pattern is rich in layers, bright in color, and ever-changing. , small color difference, good reproducibility, can achieve the effect required by the pattern designer, and is suitable for mass production.

Advantages of thermal transfer technology:

1. Simple printing

It does not require plate making, printing, and repetition The color registration step does not require various types of tools and materials required for screen printing and thermal transfer printing. With a universal printer, you only need to prepare an ordinary computer. A single machine operator can carry out the printing operation completely independently, saving manpower and material resources, and the method is simple and can be done immediately. The experience requirement for the machine operator is low, as long as he knows simple image processing software.

2. No damage

It can not only be printed on tough crystal, stone, metal, glass and other materials, but also can be printed on soft leather, cloth, cotton It can be printed on inorganic substances or organic substances with complex and varied compositions. It has more and better compatibility with materials, which avoids the problem of selecting materials for screen printing and water transfer printing, and also avoids the problem of damage to organic materials such as leather, cloth, and cotton by heat transfer printing.

3. Accurate position

It avoids the problem of position deviation encountered in manual printing. It is no longer the simple manual operation and manual printing in the past. Computer synthesis and automatic control technology are better integrated and can very accurately align the area and position to be printed, avoiding the problem of positional deviation encountered in manual printing. Since it prints multiple colors at one time, there is no problem with color registration.

These advantages can also be combined very effectively with engraving and etching to print beautiful pictures in the engraved area, or perform precise etching after printing, etc., and can also achieve good breakthroughs in the engraving industry. .

4. Professional use

The universal printer can change the printed content and the printing effect at any time. It can perform one-to-one digital printing without the tediousness of plate making. Many products There is a product code on the metal nameplate at the back, and each set of codes corresponds to each product; for example, factory employees' job number badges and work passes can also be printed based on one-to-one numbers, and avatar photos can also be added.

The production process is simple and low-cost.
