Dye sublimation printing works best on polyester fabrics because the dye bonds with the polyester fibers, whereas cotton does not absorb the dye well. For cotton-polyester blends, prints will be brighter and more colorfast on fabrics with higher polyester content (50/50 or higher). When printing on cotton blends, tests prints are recommended since the final colors may differ from expectations. Dye sublimation ensures an even application of dye within fabric fibers for a uniform print that is resistant to fading from washing or water.

Printing
Printing techniques were summarized including:
1. Printing involves applying dyes or pigments locally to fabrics to create designs through techniques like screen printing and block printing.
2. Screen printing uses a mesh screen to block ink from transferring in some areas to create sharp-edged images, while block printing carves designs into wooden blocks.
3. Other techniques include discharge printing which dyes the whole fabric and then removes dye in a pattern, and resist printing which applies a dye-repelling substance before dyeing.
Print quality
Print quality is determined by several factors including color reproduction, detail reproduction, gloss, and defects. Color reproduction depends on paper properties, ink properties, dot gain, and trapping. Higher print densities and smoother paper surfaces allow for wider color gamuts. Ink demand is mainly controlled by paper roughness and porosity, with smoother papers requiring less ink. Dot gain increases halftone dot size and must be considered when choosing screen rulings. Trapping influences color gamut through secondary colors and depends on ink sequence and transfer properties. Gloss is influenced by paper coating and ink, though consumer perception of differences in gloss can vary.
What is dye sublimation
Dye sublimation is a printing method that uses heat to fuse solid ink into a gas that then bonds to synthetic materials like fabrics and glass, allowing detailed designs to be printed. It involves using a dye sublimation printer and paper to create a design, which is then pressed onto the material using heat. While it only works on synthetic polymers and not natural fibers like cotton, dye sublimation provides photo-quality prints without waste and is used for both individual and industrial printing applications.

It then lists and provides brief descriptions of different types of printing methods, such as screen printing, flock printing, foil printing, heat transfer printing, and dye sublimation printing. The document also includes diagrams of screen printing and rotary screen printing processes. It provides more detailed explanations of techniques like block printing, dye sublimation printing, heat transfer printing, and batik.
Slides on avoiding ghosting
Ghosting in sheetfed offset printing refers to darker glossy areas appearing on the back of printed surfaces with high ink concentration. Ghosting occurs due to contact between printed sheets in the pile, as inks dry at different rates on different areas. To avoid ghosting, it is best to choose paper and ink combinations that do not encourage it, as identified through lab testing procedures involving printing test sheets and evaluating their appearance when stacked. The timing between printing, perfecting, and finishing is also important to control ghosting, as chemical bonds in inks can transfer to adjacent sheets during drying if intervals are too short. While methods like airing the pile can help, lab testing of materials provides the most reliable way to prevent ghosting

Textile designing techniques
Textile designing involves applying patterns and designs to fabric surfaces. There are several techniques for constructing and decorating fabric, including weaving, knitting, printing, and dyeing. Common printing methods are hand block printing, roller printing, screen printing, and 3D printing, which apply colored designs to fabric. Dyeing techniques like tie-dye, resist dyeing, and discharge dyeing impart patterns by controlling how the fabric is immersed in dye baths or preventing dye from reaching all areas.
Avoid ghosting
Ghosting in sheetfed offset printing refers to darker glossy areas visible on the back of printed surfaces with high ink concentration. It occurs through contact between printed sheets in the pile due to different drying speeds of inks. To avoid ghosting, it is best to choose the right paper and ink combination through lab testing, as certain combinations encourage ghosting. The lab test involves printing test sheets and storing them like sandwiches to check for ghosting effects. Time intervals between printing, perfecting, and finishing also impact ghosting - shorter intervals reduce ghosting. A lab test can ensure the paper and ink combination will not cause ghosting during the printing process.
Application of Finishes
The finishes are applied on leather generally by brushes and pads and finally by hand spray and this practices is still very widespread in major tanneries.
Although automatic spraying machines are becoming popular in large tanneries as large quantities of leather can be produced by automatic conveyer belt spraying machine.
Printing
Printing involves applying color to defined areas of a substrate to obtain a desired pattern. There are two main types of printing: discharge printing and direct printing. Pigment dyes and reactive dyes are used. Rotary screen printing is used for bulk production and can print 8000-10,000 meters per shift using up to 14 screens. Hand screen printing is used for sampling and involves manually spreading paste through a screen onto fabric. After printing, fabrics are sent for soaping or washing to set the dyes before drying.
Glitter printing
Glitter is recent developed printing. Glitter is a unique, clear digital print and cut material for full-color printing that adds the bold look of sparkly glitter. Glitters add on the garment with paste and fixed by heat on a specific area.

This printing method is based on the use of metallic foil paper of aluminum or copper one. Foil is applied by adhesive. The print fixation method is similar to transfer printing.
New printing technologies
This document provides information on two printing processes: Lumi printing and burnt-out printing.
Lumi printing uses Inkodye and sunlight to print vivid imagery onto natural materials like cotton and leather without chemical treatment. It was invented in the 2000s and allows for photographic prints that are colorfast after washing. Burnt-out printing uses acids instead of dyes to destroy fibers in certain areas and create designed holes in blended fabrics. Developed in the 1920s, it involves a multi-step process of applying, drying, heating and washing the fabric. Both processes produce unique printed effects but burnt-out printing requires more safety precautions due to the use of acids.
rotary printing
Rotary screen printing is a development of flat bed screen printing that allows for continuous printing of wallpaper up to 3000 meters long. It uses a cylindrical mesh screen that is coated with a photopolymer to create the design areas that will not allow ink to pass through. The screen rotates through multiple print stations to apply different colored inks that must fully dry before reaching the next station. Rotary screen printing is cheaper than flat bed screen printing due to it being a continuous production process.
Screen printing
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a substrate. A squeegee moves ink through the mesh openings onto the substrate. Screens can be created with stencils to print single-color images or designs. Screen printing originated in China and was later adapted in other Asian countries and Europe. It offers versatility in the materials it can print on and industries it can serve. Various inks and techniques can create different visual effects. Automatic presses are used to efficiently print multiple copies onto garments or other substrates.

Printing
Screen printing and digital printing are two common textile printing methods. Screen printing uses a woven mesh screen to support an ink-blocking stencil and applies ink through the open areas of the screen onto the fabric below. Digital printing uses inkjet printing technology to place micro-sized ink droplets onto fabric directly from a computer design file. Both methods allow for localized color application and flexible designs, while digital printing enables very small minimum runs due to not requiring prepared screens. Key factors in choosing a printing method include design requirements, cost, minimum order quantities, and the desired finish.

Dye Sublimation Printing
Sublimation method depends on the use of a volatile dye in the printed design. When the paper is heated the dye is preferentially adsorbed from the vapour phase by the textile material with which the heated paper is held in contact. This is commercially the most important of the transfer-printing methods. Dye sublimation allows photo lab quality picture printing. During the dye sublimation printing process, an image is digitally printed in reverse with dye sublimation toners or inks on to media.
A guide to sublimation printing technology for sublimation
Sublimation process is where a the special sublimation ink has been heated up until in converting it into a gas, at this point where it diffuses onto the selected product and solidifies. The ink transfer using sublimation method will be permanently heat transferred to textile, mugs, puzzles, hats, metals, and other sublimation surfaces. Other than that, sublimation printing is also suitable on fabrics such as t-shirt, cushions, home decoration etc. and also to ceramic products for instance mugs.
What types of materials suitable in sublimation process and are there any limitations?
As mention above, in sublimation printing you can print any sublimation blanks such as fabrics, polyester, jigsaw puzzle, hats and anything that have sublimate coating on it can be used in sublimation printing. Anyhow, there are still limitations in sublimation printings. This includes a natural fiber such as cotton. Sublimation printing is not suitable to be printed on 100% cotton because the image to fade and wash out.
Normally, sublimation inks are darker than normal inks. Due to that reason, you cannot print it onto dark colored material, but you can change it into pastel color or white to get the awesome image printed.
Please remember, the only product that has sublimation coated can be used in sublimation printing. It would never work if you use sublimation printings on normal mugs you purchase in the mall no matter how expensive it is. For your information, the most suitable heat suitable for sublimation process are from 180 to 400 degree Celsius.

Printing on-textiles
Textile printing can involve various techniques like roller printing, screen printing, block printing, and others. Roller printing is well-suited for high quality prints on fabrics for fashion apparel. It involves applying dye to engraved rollers which transfer the dye onto fabric passed between the rollers. Screen printing and block printing are also described as traditional techniques. Textile printing involves various dyeing and finishing processes that can pollute the environment if not done sustainably.
Pigment printing 130103023
Pigment printing is a textile printing technique that involves applying insoluble pigments mixed with a binder and thickener only to defined areas of fabric to create a pattern. It does not require washing after printing like other techniques since the binder fixes the pigment. Pigment printing can be done on many fiber types at high speeds, making it economical. The process involves preparing a printing paste, applying it using screen or roller printing, then drying and curing the printed fabric without an after-treatment wash.
Pigment printing
The document discusses pigment printing, which is a type of textile printing where insoluble pigments are fixed to fabric using a binder. Pigment printing pastes contain thickening agents, binders, and other auxiliaries. It is the most economical printing process as it does not require washing after printing. Screen printing and roller printing are common methods used to apply pigment pastes to fabric in defined patterns.

Is Dye Sublimation Works For All Materials
- 1. Is Dye Sublimation Works for All Materials ?
- 2. In today's market when people talk about dye sublimation transfers, they are usually speaking about output from inkjet printers. The problem with inkjet printers and dye sublimation is that most of the printers spray their ink out of tiny nozzles that are easily clogged by the relatively large dye sublimation particles.
- 3. Dye sublimation will not work on 100% cotton. There has to be polyester because that is what holds the sublimed dye. The more polyester the better; 50/50 is better than 65/35.
- 4. If you are subbing to the cotton/poly mix, transferring brighter colors are better. Also, if you are going to use colored shirts, try a small sample (dye sub in and paper is expensive) first as the color will end up nothing like you expected. (If you need to print on 100% cotton like shirts,you will need the special transfer paper for it :Dark and Light T-Shirts Transfer Paper)
- 5. When a piece of fabric is printed using a sublimation printer the ink is injected into the fibres themselves, ensuring an even hue and much reducing the risk of colours running in contact with water (in the wash) or distorting. This ensures a more uniform quality of garment or finished product, allowing companies to know in advance how their promotional items, clothing or other printed fibrous materials will look.
