Thermal Transfer Technology and Application Solutions (31-40)

31, thermal transfer pearlescent composite film what use?

Now our self-developed and produced pearlescent heat transfer PVC composite film has been successfully listed. Its transfer effect is the same as that of a pearlescent plate. It is not afraid of tide, mildew, abrasion, no flash, and low cost. It can not only use heat transfer. Print puzzles, personalized mouse pads, personalized coasters, personalized wallets, handbags and many other items, if there is a large deputy printer, can also be used as a personalized desktop tablecloth material. It is a very good material to use it to make metal makeup mirror box transfer image of the film, better than pearl plate, pearl plate effect is much better than photo paper, of course, but the corrugated pearl film film box color bright, feel Soft, no scratches, no fear of moisture, no mildew. The biggest advantage is that you don't need to punch or mold. You can use a knife to cut into the required shape (a large amount can be used to open a die, much cheaper than a metal die). The color and thickness of the thermal transfer pearlescent composite film can be customized, and it is just in short supply.

32, how to print thermal transfer puzzle?

The heat transfer puzzles produced by our company are seven-inch (13×19cm, 48 grains) and ten-inch (19×25cm, 88 grains) sizes. Each piece of fine blank heat transfer jigs must have a smooth surface and cannot have Raised, so as to ensure the integrity of the entire pattern, the image print size is slightly larger than the size of the puzzle. Like the thermal transfer mouse pad, the heat transfer jigsaw is generally used for tablet transfer and shake machine transfer. The machine is preheated first, and the temperature should not be too high, about 160-180°C, and pressing for 50-60 seconds ( Depending on the different stamping machines, the specific grasp in practice).

Note: Some companies provide thermal transfer blank puzzles for the A4 size (about 20 × 30cm, 120) and A5 size (about 15 × 20cm, 80), we integrated most of the customer's opinion, there is no production of this kind of puzzle The reason is that it has two inconveniences. One is that our commonly used photo frames are not A4 and A5 size, and the seven-inch and ten-inch puzzles we produce have matched picture frames everywhere; the second is their particles. Too small, puzzles are a bit trickier to play and more vulnerable to damage.

33, how to print magnetic heat transfer puzzle?

Most manufacturers who make craft gifts can only provide magnetic jigsaws that need to be customized in batches. Now with our waterproof pearlescent heat transfer film, the magnetic jigsaw has more room for development, unnecessary plate making, as long as there is a basic heat transfer Printing equipment, everyone can easily make fun and fun magnetic puzzles, it not only has the advantages of ordinary printed magnetic puzzles, but also waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant, is one of the current high-end varieties of puzzle products . Our magnetic puzzle bottom plate is a 1mm thick soft magnetic rubber plate (specific gravity of 3.8) that is flatter than a paper back plate. Transfer temperature 160-180°C, time 150-180 seconds.

34. About laser transfer

Laser transfer is a technique that uses a laser printer to print special carbon powder on special laser transfer paper, and then transfers the pattern to a specific item by transfer (thermal transfer or water transfer). Its main advantages are:

1. Color laser transfer printing color reproduction true, high-definition, high color fastness, making this technology possible in the industrial application of pure cotton and linen textile printing industry, compared with the current use of waterproof pigment ink jet ink with the United States AW film paper can be said to be completely two grades. Its pure cotton and linen textiles completely solved the fatal problems of the film T-shirt transfer paper: airtight and feel and crack after washing.
2. The substrate does not need to be coated. It can be directly transferred to hard materials such as metal plates, glass, and tiles.
3. Since the laser toner does not easily sublimate under high temperature or strong light like the thermal transfer ink, the weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and other indicators of the digital image work made with it far outperform the commonly used sublimation transfer. Printing method.

Although the laser transfer machine is currently limited to some EPSON and Konica (Minolta) laser models, equipment input costs and consumables use costs are currently more expensive, but with the development of science and technology hardware costs will become lower and lower, and key consumables Laser toners are also compatible products that can be replaced. The price is very low, and the thermal transfer ink is almost or even lower. Only laser transfer printing on chemical fiber textiles is not as good as thermal sublimation. In addition, the image transfer of uncoated hard materials such as ceramics, etc., in the transfer of sublimation methods from the surface to the surface of the image still has a feeling of hand, it is relatively easy to be scraped off, and the cost is high.

The biggest advantage and selling point of laser transfer is its application in light-colored cotton hemp textiles.

35. The world's top high-temperature ceramic phase technology!

Have you ever heard that high temperature porcelain can print plates or cups? Have you ever heard of the effect of high-temperature ceramic colors printed on photographic paper by the Epsonphoto machine? Have you ever heard of high temperature crystals? How much do you know about the domestic technology of using Lenovo or Lexmark machine-modified high-temperature porcelain cameras to make glue on flat porcelain plates? Tell you, do not understand it, those mentioned earlier have become a reality, foreigners invented a high-temperature porcelain powder, use it instead of toner, with a laser printer on special water transfer paper, so that it not only turn Printed in a flat porcelain plate, of course, can also be attached to a cup or a plate to create a curved high-temperature ceramic phase. Next, a 800°C high-temperature oven is used to firmly fuse the extremely fine porcelain powder and porcelain glaze. Because it is laser printing, so the color is very realistic, made of high-temperature porcelain phase is photo-grade.

36, thermal transfer ink is good or low temperature is good

Korean thermal transfer inks need to be heated to 180-210 degrees to complete the transfer. At present, there is a kind of thermal transfer ink that can be transferred to cups, metals, wood products and polyester products at a temperature of 130-160 degrees. In the end, which is better, we think that although Korean ink can be transferred at higher temperatures, the transfer rate can still be more than 95% using special paper for sublimation, and it is generally accepted that non-blocking inks are not blocked. The domestic low-temperature transfer ink can even have a higher transfer rate without special paper, and the price is cheaper, but because it is easier to secondarily sublimate, so the color retention time of the finished product is not long, it is recommended that you use with caution.

37, universal printer price geometry?

At present, many companies have introduced so-called universal flatbed printers, which can print oil images directly on a variety of media with a certain thickness, and indeed have a vast potential. But its high price has caused it to fail to spread. In fact, it is also like a high-temperature porcelain camera, but it is modified using an ordinary printer (high-temperature porcelain printer with Lenovo or Lexmark machine modification, universal flatbed printer with EPSON machine modification), we believe that developers do not need to set a high threshold , The cost of the conversion plus the profit price is twice the price of the printer itself. It is enough. Now many companies sell this machine for tens of thousands of yuan. Selling a machine makes at least five or six thousand. In order to enter the era of meager profits, we must allow our customers to afford them and use them in order to become stronger and bigger.

However, everyone should not worry, because those printer manufacturers have also seen this need, low-priced printers with flat printing capabilities will also be listed on the market, their working methods are the printing parts (glass plates, books, wood, clothing, etc. ) Keep the print head in both X and Y directions. This kind of printer will greatly enrich people's lives. For example, nowadays popular digital cake is to use this type of printer to put edible pigments in print heads and print them on the surface of candy to make photo cakes. It is very popular among the people.

38, talk about buying pearl plate

As mentioned earlier, the pearlite aluminum material is better than the iron material because aluminum has a lighter weight and is less prone to rust. Of course, aluminum is also more expensive than iron. In addition, the aluminum pearl plate is divided into a spray pearl plate, a roll-coated pearl plate and a film pearl plate.

Spraying is the surface spray white matt paint, basically can not be used; roller coating pearl surface smooth, high hardness, suitable for licensing, etc., but it is not suitable for cutting makeup mirror box or key ring panel, because the surface hardness is high It is fragile and scratch-resistant. In addition, the roll-coated pearl plate sometimes has a small black spot after heat transfer.

The film pearl plate is divided into domestic film and imported film (such as South Korea LG film), domestic film retention time is short, the thermal transfer puzzle pearl film developed by our company is imported material, thickness is 20C, it is used after high temperature vacuum heat Pressure and other processes can be posted on the degreasing book aluminum plate or iron plate to become the film pearl plate, with its thermal transfer pattern is clear, and the surface is flexible, can withstand moderate scratching, widely used in metal notebook , card case, mirror box, key button panel patch and authorization card, etc.

40, do luminous puzzles, luminous photos need to pay attention to what?

Luminous puzzle is a high-end heat transfer product recently introduced by our company. It adopts high-temperature long-lasting luminous transfer film, high-temperature non-adhesive glue, paste on a special high-hard wood pulp board, and is cut into small pieces by a puzzle machine. . With inkjet thermal transfer ink or laser transfer paper can be transferred.

The luminous jigsaw or luminous photo principle absorbs light during the day and releases energy in the dark at night to give out visible light, thus obtaining a fantastic effect. It should be noted that the color of the picture should not be set too dark, it should be the use of light-colored pictures, especially the character skin color and background color, so as not to overshadow the light from the luminous paper.
