Different transfer papers have different application methods! When it comes to transfer paper, most people have always thought it was 4A paper similar to a printer, but in fact, they don’t take it seriously. Transfer paper uses special heat transfer ink to print various patterns on a special type of paper, and then transfers the patterns to the product through temperature and pressure. This special type of paper used in heat transfer printing is called heat transfer paper. Of course, there are also many classifications of transfer paper. Below, the editor will introduce the different applications of different transfer papers one by one!

1. Transfer paper (light color) A4

Light color transfer paper is suitable for printing patterns on light colored clothing. The patterns transferred through this transfer paper have high color reproduction, no wrinkles, elasticity, tear resistance, no cracking, excellent hand feel, and no heaviness. It is the best choice for transferring T-shirts and printing personalized cultural shirts! It is best to transfer it onto a light colored 100% cotton fabric, including t-shirts, foam, etc. Wash 100% without shedding or fading. It is best to use waterproof pigment ink to print light color transfer paper.

2. Heat sublimation transfer paper A4

Special heat transfer paper for personalized T-shirts made of synthetic or blended fabrics: suitable for printing patterns on light colored synthetic fabrics, and can also be used to make hot stamping cups, porcelain plates, etc.

The color reproduction of the pattern transferred through this transfer paper is high, without any tactile sensation. Transfer paper is the best choice for transferring chemical fiber/blended fabric T-shirts and personalized cultural shirts! Wash 100% without fading. Meanwhile, thermal sublimation transfer paper can print products such as cups, plates, and pearl plates, with an ink transfer rate of over 90%, which is twice that of inkjet paper. Thermal sublimation transfer paper must be printed with thermal transfer ink.

3. Transfer specific inkjet paper

A4 format, with a delicate surface, specially designed for transfer printing on ceramic, metal, semi cotton, and silk materials. The transfer printing capacity of premium ink is not as high as that of sublimation paper.

4. Dark transfer paper

Dark transfer paper is suitable for printing patterns on dark clothing of various fabrics. The patterns transferred through this transfer paper have high color reproduction, no wrinkles, elasticity, tear resistance, and no cracking. The texture is excellent and there is no heaviness. It is the best choice for transferring T-shirts and printing personalized cultural shirts! Can be transferred onto light colored 100% cotton fabric, etc. Wash 100% without shedding or fading. It is also recommended to use waterproof pigment ink for printing on dark heat transfer paper.

Water transfer printing technology is a type of printing that uses water pressure to hydrolyze plastic films on transfer paper with colored patterns. The difference and advantage of water transfer printing compared to other printing methods is that it can better adapt to the materials and shapes of various processed products. There are two types of water transfer printing technology: one is water mark transfer printing, and the other is water cover transfer printing technology. The former mainly completes the transfer of text and photo patterns, while the latter tends to complete the transfer on the entire surface of the product. The drape transfer printing technology uses a water-based film that is easily soluble in water to carry images and text. Due to the excellent tension of the water coated film, it is easy to wrap around the surface of the product to form a graphic and textual layer, giving the product a completely different appearance just like spray painting. Covering any shape of workpiece to solve the problem of three-dimensional product printing for manufacturers. Curved coating can also add different patterns on the surface of products, such as leather, wood, jade, and marble patterns, while also avoiding the common voids in general printing. And in the printing process, as the product surface does not need to come into contact with the printing film, it can avoid damaging the product surface and its integrity. Water transfer printing is a thin film that undergoes special chemical treatment. After printing the desired color patterns, it is sent flat to the surface of water. By using the action of water pressure, the color patterns are evenly transferred onto the surface of the product. When the film is coated, it automatically dissolves in water. After cleaning and drying, a transparent protective coating is applied, and the product has presented a completely different visual effect.

Transfer object

Various types of stickers.

1. Print ceramic stickers. Can be used for pattern making of various daily ceramics such as ceramic tableware and ceramic water tools, and can also be used for the production of architectural tiles such as waistlines, decorative tiles, and decorative ceramics

2. Print glass flower paper. Can be used for glass water utensils, glass cups and bottles, advertising cups, various glass containers, and decorative glass.

3. Print helmet floral paper. Widely used in the production of surface pattern patterns such as motorcycle helmets and safety helmets.

4. Decals for sports equipment. Such as creating trademarks and logos on the surface of tennis rackets, fishing rods, etc;

5. Decals for metal fittings. Such as creating patterns and texts for bicycle and motorcycle fittings

6. Make stickers on the surface of toy car models;

7. Printing wooden flower paper;

Fashionable tattoo stickers;

Other stickers that are difficult to print directly

process flow

Making water transfer printing paper → Soaking the paper → Pattern transfer pasting → Drying → Finished product

1. Production of water transfer printing paper. According to the required pattern, the computer processes it and outputs the negative to make a printing plate. Then, various colors of the pattern are printed on the water transfer printing substrate (specially processed paper does not require further processing), and the cover oil is printed on the printed pattern substrate. Another method is to use a color laser printer to directly print the pattern onto the water transfer printing substrate and then perform water transfer printing.

2. Soak the flower paper. Put the printed flower paper into water and soak it for 30 seconds before removing it from the water. Pay attention not to soak it for too long, otherwise it will dissolve the adhesive on the surface of the paper

3. Pattern transfer pasting. First, treat the surface of the object to be pasted, then transfer the soaked flower paper onto it, and then scrape off any excess water to dry.

4. Dry. Place metal, ceramic, glass and other types of items in an oven and bake for 140 minutes for 20 minutes; Plastics
