What is water transfer printing? Water transfer printing technology - known as the more environmentally friendly technology, is also the most emerging high-efficiency printing production, probably due to its separation from the ink in the printing process. Water transfer printing uses water pressure and activator to dissolve and transfer the stripping layer on the carrier film of water transfer printing. The basic process is as follows: 1; 2、 Spray primer: many materials must be coated with a layer of adhesive, such as metal, ceramics, etc. if you want to transfer different patterns, you must use different background colors, such as brown, brown, earth yellow for wood grain, white for stone grain, etc; 3、 Extension of the membrane: let the membrane lay flat on the water surface, and wait for the membrane to stretch flat; 4、 Activation: use special solvent (activator) to activate the pattern of transfer film into ink state; 5） Transfer printing: using water pressure to print the activated pattern on the printed object; 6、 Water washing: wash the impurities left in the printed workpiece with water; 7、 Drying: drying the work piece to be printed, the temperature depends on the primality and melting point of the material; 8） Spray finish: spray transparent protective paint to protect the surface of the printed object; 9、 Drying: dry the surface of the object sprayed with topcoat.
There are two types of water transfer printing technology, one is water mark transfer printing technology, the other is water drape transfer printing technology. The former mainly completes the transfer printing of text and photo pattern, while the latter tends to complete the transfer printing on the whole product surface. Cubic transfer uses a kind of water-based film which is easy to dissolve in water to carry pictures and texts. Due to the excellent tension of the water coating film, it is easy to wind on the surface of the product to form a graphic layer, and the surface of the product can get a completely different appearance just like spray painting. Drape transfer technology can drape the color pattern on any shape of workpiece to solve the problem of three-dimensional product printing for manufacturers. Curved surface drape can also add different patterns on the surface of products, such as leather, wood, jade and dolomite patterns, etc., and can also avoid the common vacancy in general plate printing. And in the printing process, because the product surface does not need to contact with the printing film, it can avoid damaging the product surface and its integrity.
What is heat transfer printing?
Heat transfer printing is a new printing technology, which is divided into two parts: transfer film printing and transfer processing. The transfer film printing adopts 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, changeable, small in color difference and good in reproducibility, which can meet the requirements of the designer, And suitable for mass production; Transfer processing through a thermal transfer machine processing (heating pressure) will transfer the beautiful pattern on the transfer film on the surface of the product. After forming, the ink layer and the product surface dissolve into one, lifelike and beautiful, greatly improving the product grade.
Heat transfer printing process is applied to all kinds of ABS, PP, plastic, wood, coated metal and other products. According to the requirements of customers, we can design and produce the heat transfer film, and transfer the pattern to the surface of the workpiece by hot pressing, so as to improve the product grade. Heat transfer printing technology is widely used in plastic, cosmetics, toys, electrical appliances, building materials, gifts, food packaging, stationery and other industries. The equipment used in the heat transfer process includes the image king hot stamping machine: including the toasting machine, the toasting machine, the baking machine, the plane hot stamping machine, the tablet machine, the shaking head hot stamping machine, etc. the required consumables include the professional heat transfer paper and the heat transfer ink, plus the printer, the computer, the digital camera can do the heat transfer process.
