BestSub Technologies Co., Ltd.

Because of the type of ink that is used you are limited in the type of printer you can print with. Currently you can purchase sublimation ink for the following printers: C82, C84, C86, 1280, 900, 980, 3000, 4000 or 7600. Cond? offers sublimation solutions for wide-format printers such as the Roland Hi-Fi Jet Pro. Contact our Wide Format Division to learn more.

A heat press is the machine that presses a transfer onto an imprintable substrate. Using high temperatures and heavy pressures for a certain amount of time, the transfer is permanently embedded into the product.

Heat presses are recommended for professional and satisfying results simply because standard laminating devices and home hand irons can not get even near the temperatures required for a reliable transfer. Standard transfers require anywhere from 375? to 425? F demand serious force in pressing often from 40-80 psi. These temperatures and pressures are simply not possible with other heated devices.

BestSublimation recommends Best New Heat Presses because they are simply the best. BestNew Heat Presses have been the backbone of literally thousands upon thousands of business over the past 4 decades, providing a reliable workhorse of a product that stands up to the demands of imprinting business, manufacturing and personal use.

Dye Sublimation Transfer is a process where you use an image that has been created digitally either by scanning a photograph or downloading a picture taken with your digital camera or an image created in a piece of imaging software like Adobe Photoshop or CorelDRAW and then printing this image with an printer using special inks called sublimation inks onto paper. Once the image is on the paper you place it under a heat transfer press on top of your substrate and heat the paper until the inks turn to a gas and transfer the image onto the item you are making.

Description

1. Inputting digital photos to computer by digital camera or scanner;
2. Editing photos with Image Processing Software to make the specifications compatible with the pressing objects;
3. Printing images by ink-jet printer onto ink-jet paper or heat transfer paper, make sure you are using sublimation ink to do this. (Please read more details at ’Expendables’.)
4. To transfer the images onto whatever object surface you want, by using a proper heat transfer machine. (Please read more details at ’Press Machines’.)

If you want to print on mugs, plates and other popular hard surface items then Dye Sublimation printing is the answer!

Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.

Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. You must purchase the mugs, tiles, metals, etc. with the coating already on them, it is not something you can coat yourself. We carry a full line of these sublimatable blanks. When you apply to 100% polyester (ie: our mouse pads and puzzles) you do not need any coating, it is applied directly to the 100% polyester fabric.

You can purchase dye sublimation inks for certain printer (only) desk top ink jet printers (ie: C82, C84, C86, C88, 1280, 3000, 4000, 4800 & 7600) to do sublimation printing. The printer is not sold directly from printer with these sublimation inks. We do offer some of these printer models. The sublimation inks are something you would need to buy from a company such as ours and the heat transfer paper that you would print these inks on we also supply. The heat transfer paper for sublimation printing does not have a coating on them. This paper has a special finish on the surface so the inks do not soak into the paper. After you print the transfer paper it is then placed on the product to be applied with a heat press.

PLEASE NOTE: You can switch your printer back to using regular inks at any time. However, it is not practical to switch back and forth. If you are setting up a Sublimation Printing System do not expect to use the same printer for other purposes.

With the improvements in technology used to produce transfers, it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a garment printed directly with a screen printing press and one printed using an iron-on transfer. In most cases, the iron-on transfer has a soft feel (or hand as we say in the industry) and is as durable.

The advantage to using transfers lies in your ability to run your business with limited inventory. Because you don’t typically print the shirt until it’s sold, you can offer hundreds (even thousands) of designs to your customers just by keeping minimal stock of the transfers which cost considerably less than a pre-printed shirt.

Imagine if you wanted to offer 300 different shirts to your customers. If you carried pre-printed garments, you would have to inventory each design in a minimum of four sizes and keep on hand at least 2-3 pieces of every size. That amounts to inventorying over 3600 shirts. For most small business, this is not realistic. To carry the same 300 designs using transfers you would only have to inventory four sizes of blank garments and 2-3 pieces of each design. This is a more realistic scenario for most small business owners.

4.PRODUCTION:
Using the Crystal Glue(5975 gluewater) glued the Crystal Jet Film to the crystal, put it into the Solidification Machine II for a few minutes, uses ultraviolet light so as to solidifying the crystal. Pull out the crystal, peeled the film from the crystal, using the crystal glue(8989 gluewater) glued the backboard to the crystal, put it into the Solidification Machine II for a few minutes, trim it, final product was made.

To make good photo crystal, you’d better pay attention on following matters.

1.Please make sue that you are in a ventilated and clean environment. Cause crystal is transparent, you cannot make it dirty. Moreover, If the environment is too hot, the glue is easily dry which will affect the photo crystal making.

2.Make the crystal surface clean and dry. Or it will affect the result.

3.Don’t touch the film with image in case of making it dirty and blurring the image..

4.When you dip the glue on to the crystal surface, please try to make the glue spring on the core of the surface and then use a flat card to make the glue even over the surface. Notice: See clearly to make sure that there is no bubble. If there is bubble, please press the card to make the glue even. Especially when you sprinkle the 8989 glue, you should take more care to make the glue even in case of any bubble.

5.Don’t make the glue sprinkled on the crystal surface exposed to air long. After you sprinkle glue onto the crystal surface, immediately use the film(without membrance) to cover it and use flat card to flatten the surface.

For beginners, it is unavoidable to meet some problems. Frequent practice is needed to make beautiful and perfect photo crystals.

Here I would like to give some my own suggestion on making photo crystal and hope that it can help the friends who are in making photo crystal line.

Here I would like to make some de_script_ion on our crystal glue(UV glue).

We have two types as follows:
1. 5975 glue--- From crytal to film.
2.8989 glue---- From crystal to crystal.

5875glue is the most commonly used glue or the essential glue for making photo crystal. Either 1-piece crystal or 2-piece crystal needs it. But for 2-piece crystal, it doesn’t need use 8989 glue.

8989 glue technical data
1.Color: Transparent
2.Hardness: 800MPa.s
3.Solidification time: <20s
4.Pencil hardness: >H5

It is specially produced according to our crystal films for strengthening scoring resistance and anti-dissolution ability.

Tips on CISS(Bulk ink supply system) installment

1. Open the ink hole of the ink cartridge as the photo shows.
2. Inject the ink into the empty ink holder (the bigger ones)
3. Use the injector to pump the ink, (pressure difference, so make the ink (in the bigger box) fill in the ink cartridges.
4. All is done and then fit the ink cartridge which is already full of ink into the printer. (Please see photo above)
5. Then well done. Once for all, later, you don’t need do the process any more, it can work automatically.

Notice: When the printer with CISS is working, please open the ventilation holes. After working, make sure that the holes are closed to prevent any dirty.

Trouble shooting on clogged print head
1.Please clean printer head via computer with printing choice.—“Check the print head”
2.Check the status of the ink supply system. Please make sure that the ventilation holes of the bigger ink holder are open, not closed. It may cause the ink don’t supply smoothly and then blog the ink out if the ventilation hole closed. If it has been the reason for clogging print head, what you need do are: 1). Use injector to absorb the ink from the ink cartridges and then put the ink into the ink holder. Then do the step 3 of CISS installment.
3.Clean the print head by using printer special detergent (solvent).

Notice on transfer printing on glass mug :
1. The picture(image) should be clear and distinguished, dark color is recommended.
2. The pressure should not be too high, being moderate.
3. Before transfer printing, please pre heat the surface of the mug.
4. The temperature of working place should not be too low for which may cause big contrast with the heating mug and then result in breakage.
5. Time&trouble shooting, the same as the plain ceramic mugs.

A transfer is made up of a carrier paper and inks. When heated to a certain temperature and pressed with a significant amount of pressure for a certain amount of time, the transfer inks are passed over to the imprintable material. Some inks are adhered and embedded to the surface of the material, while others (namely, sublimation) permeate the coating of the material.

Transfers can be heat pressed onto fabrics (both natural and synthetic) using standard plastisol supplier transfers, color copier, or thermal wax & ink-jet computer transfer paper. Heat transfers can also be printed onto mugs, plates, tiles, mousepads, ceramics, metals, glass and wood. For these substrates, sublimation transfers are used. The important factor when heat pressing with sublimation transfers onto non-natural fabric substrates is to be sure the material has the proper polyester synthetic coating, as well as a UV coating if protection from the sun and other rays is an issue. For this reason it is best to get the materials pre-coated from a supplier.
