Main Characteristics
Inks suitable for the decoration of synthetic fabrics using the sublimation transfer technique.
Sublimation transfer printing is a procedure in which particular dyes are first printed on paper, or
other suitable transfer material, and with the application of heat to the printing, a mirror image is
then transferred onto textile articles.
Good printability.
High concentrations of the base colors.
Fast drying.
Excellent color resistance of the dyes sublimated onto the fabric to the light, to washing and to
rubbing.
Applications Fields
Synthetic fabric for clothing.
Synthetic fabric for furnishings.
Decoration of pre-treated materials.
Printing Techniques
ROTOGRAVURE: depth of engraving 25/30 micron
Specific Supports
Coated or calendered paper from 40 - 60 gr/m² with stable dimensions.
Suitable Fabrics
Polyester.
Triacetate.
Nylon fabric.
Acrylic fabric.
Polypropylene nitrile.
Parameters for the Transfer
Temperature: 205° - 210° C.
Time: 35 - 40 seconds.
The following is the transfer printing parameters for your reference
Name of fabric | Transfer temperature | pressure | Time |
Polyester fabric | 205℃~220℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 10~30 seconds |
Polyester deformation fabric low elastic | 195℃~205℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 30 seconds |
Triacetate fabrics | 190℃~200℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 30~40 seconds |
Nylon fabric | 195℃~205℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 30~40 seconds |
Acrylic fabric | 200℃~210℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 30 seconds |
Two acetate fiber fabric | 185℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 15~20 seconds |
Polypropylene nitrile | 190℃~220℃ | 0.5kg/cm2 | 10~15 seconds |

Ps:Aluminum plate, stainless steel, copper and porcelain coated, the thermal transfer the desired temperature can refer to the temperature of the polyester fabric. We could also provide the required special color gravure inks according to our customer's demands.
N.B. Control of the color should always be made after the transfer of the final supports.
The relationship between the temperature and the contact time is important in order to have the optimal color resistance and ink penetration (the higher the temperature of the transfer, the better
the ink penetration of the fabric).
Storage Indications
Products in their original unopened containers maintain their characteristics for one year if stored in a well ventilated place with a temperature between + 5° and + 40°C.Products opened, but immediately closed after use, have a shelf life of at least 6 months.
