What are they good for and how to use sublimatin inks?
TFP ink-jet sublimation ink can be used in Epson ink-jet wide-format printers. This special ink works in the same way as the factory and plain sd sublimation ink - we print on paper - but in the sublimation process, using a chemical process, we have the opportunity to print objects that may or may not be printed in other ways , or we can do it with an expensive industrial process (e.g. sieving). This special chemical process is sublimation. The ink sublimates from the printed paper into the surface of the product to be printed under the influence of heat. Only sublimation technology is suitable for this, factory printer inks are not capable of this, even if we use transfer paper. So the essence of the technology lies in the paint and not only in the special paper or the heat press.
Sublimation is a change in chemical state when the material (in this case, the paint) changes from a solid state to a gas state as a result of heating. During this process, the sublimation ink printed on the paper is transferred from the paper to the surface of the object in the heat press, and not only to the surface, but is connected to the surface at a molecular level and then provides an almost unremovable permanent print. This process can also be used in a normal office environment for digital desktop sublimation printing or in large-format printers when rolling material (e.g. flag or sportswear before assembly, fashion clothing) needs to be printed.
