What Is Sublimation Ink and How Is It Different From Regular Printer Ink?Sublimation may seem overwhelming and complicated to those decorators who are unfamiliar with the dye sublimation printing process or who are brand new to offering sublimation as a service – but do not worry, as sublimation is easy to get started. The basic printing equipment that you need to get production underway is a sublimation printer, sublimation inks, sublimation paper, sublimation blanks, and a good quality heat press. In terms of the sublimation printing process, great products start with a good quality set of inks. The special sublimation ink is technically translucent, and when the solid inks are exposed to heat and pressure, the ink bypasses the liquid stage and becomes a gas. Specialty sublimation inks are first printed onto sublimation heat transfer paper, then the sublimation paper is held in place on top of the substrate with thermal tape or thermal adhesive before the substrate is pressed using a heat press. When the correct combination of time, pressure and temperature is achieved, the pores of the substrate open up. The sublimation inks turn into gas, and the gas seeps into the pores of the substrate. While the substrate is cooling, the pores will close around the ink and produce a durable image that is visible after the paper is removed. Regular inkjet printers deposit water-based inks that contain drying agents and pigments onto paper in formations made up of small dots. Colors and hues are controlled by where the liquid ink is sprayed on the page. Both types of printers are useful for different applications.
