In the Sublimation process, sublimation heat transfer paper is one of the important roles. There are different types of sublimation transfer paper available in the market. The type and quality of each will provide different results rough, smooth, soft, extra gloss, washable, etc. It is very important to educate yourself to determine the best sublimation supplier of transfer paper.

Before you proceed to finalize a paper for sublimation printing, you need to know as what qualities of the paper are essential. So we have discussed below and provide you a guidance of what all qualities must be there to select good sublimation transfer paper and before this firstly it is necessary to know and understands what is sublimation heat transfer papers ? So it is given below:

What is sublimation heat transfer papers?

Printing any picture by using sublimation ink and then sublimate it into the sublimation blanks by heat press machine. In such thermal transfer process the paper used is called sublimation transfer paper. These thermal resistant papers are used with sublimation ink to produce the desired image on the mobile cases/covers. The sublimation heat press machines are used that contain vacuum and forming high temperature the image is reproduced on the mobile case/cover.

Following point given below that help you  to choose a good sublimation transfer paper :

Transfer Rate

The transfer rate is a basic characteristic of the transfer paper, that is the speed rate with which the paper transfers the image to the phone case or the cover and then the ink is transferred on the product. The transfer rate transfer object colours better to communicate and also save ink. As fast as the paper absorbs the ink from the printer and how fast it transfers it to a product, counts as a good quality of 3D sublimation heat transfer paper. The quality of heat transfer paper depends on the speed of the paper that absorbs the ink from a printer and transfer it to product.

Ink Compatibility

For best transfer paper factory, it is important to make the paper to suit different transfer inks as much as possible, so that the paper can be compatible to other dyes. Firstly you need to see the quality of the ink as well as the paper. The good quality of both, will tend to provide you high definition piece on the mobile case/cover.

Drying  Rate
The important feature of best sublimation transfer paper is its drying speed that provides you easy printing continuously and improve the speed of delivery. The drying rate plays an important role when the image from the printer is being transferred to the sublimation heat transfer paper. As the paper dries ink faster, makes easier the task to handle avoiding unnecessary mess so that improve printing speed.

Warp Degree And Warp Timing
The transfer paper is one type of coated paper, to avoid the warping issue consistent coating is needed. The inconsistent coating layer will make one side dried at high temperature or high rate and base paper are also not same that leads single side warped then influence the following operation.
  1. Inconvenience on paper feeding when print on the printer.
  2. Printed sheets are piled up, leaving the finishing bucking due to the inconvenience
  3. Leads thermal transfer failure because the warp page of paper can’t match fabric position.
  4. The transfer paper roll will transfer warping that causes by dislocation transfer failure.
Impurity Spots On Paper

One of the characteristic of transfer paper is the quantity of spots on the transfer paper. This spots may occur in the base paper, also produce the coating or production process, solid spot will serious harm to print large area. To  make tough for sublimation ink that give high quality outputs, the large number of spots on the sublimation heat transfer paper . The spot will harm to the large area single colour print but is little effect for colourful print so please look out for one with the least number of spots.

Stability of Quality

Consistent quality should be the most important characteristic of sublimation transfer paper for good using. The final print result is related to user’s ink, print data set, and parameter setting of the printer. Easy to use and stable quality as an important indicator. If the paper is not consistently coated with the sublimation coating, then one side of the image would overlap with the other. This will cause inconvenience and consume a lot of time in printing. So the consistent quality of transfer paper is very important characteristic that the end user needs to consider before place order.
After learning above features that forms an important part of choosing the best and suitable transfer paper. Once the above said features are satisfied, you can be able to find the best sublimation heat transfer paper suited to your choice.
