Thermal transfer printing machines are increasingly the main reason for the printing industry's enthusiasm
In today's world of printing, the printing machine used for garment printing is a digital direct-injection printing machine and a roller thermal transfer printing machine. The digital direct-injection printing machine uses inkjet printing technology to directly spray ink onto the fabric, while the roller heat transfer The printing machine prints the pattern onto the fabric by printing the pattern on the heat transfer printing paper and then applying heat and pressure.
Today, let's talk about heat transfer printing. Thermal transfer printing uses a thermal transfer printing machine. Because the image is heated and pressed, the finished product will be stronger than the screen printing, the color fastness is more stable, and it is corrosion resistant. Anti-shock, anti-aging, wear-resistant and so on, and can remain unchanged for a long time, so the thermal transfer printing technology is especially suitable for wind-resistant, water-resistant clothing (such as cycling wear, swimwear), especially on man-made fiber fabrics. The color is bright and the color fastness is high, which is beyond the reach of general printing technology.
With the continuous development of the commodity economy, in the clothing market demand, for the clothing printing industry, printing is not the traditional paper printing we have known decades ago. From our daily necessities to office appliances, to products such as electric fast, decoration, crafts, and other industries, we need high-fastness, beautiful flowers, and colorful prints. Transferred by a thermal transfer printing machine. Therefore, in terms of the current market, there is a great room for development of thermal transfer printing machines.
In addition to being applied to apparel fabrics, thermal transfer printing machines can also be applied to garment accessories, such as zippers, ribbons, silk flowers, ribbons, etc., which not only has a large output, but also has incomparable advantages compared with silk screen, like precision. High, color gradient, bright colors do not need to open the plate and so on.
Despite its convenient and flexible production and low cost, screen printing occupies half of the country, and it is also a mature and popular process in the printing industry, especially on dark fabrics. However, the printing effect of the thermal transfer printing machine is not comparable to the screen printing. The thermal transfer printing technology will continue to increase in market share due to its low production cost, firm image formation and long storage time. Therefore, the market prospect of the thermal transfer printing machine is particularly broad, and it will be superior to the screen printing in the future.
