What Is So Significant About Sublimation Paper?
Inkjet dye sublimation could not happen without paper. It is one of the most important components,
and it can be confusing.
With sublimation, first you create the art with a graphics program. To get the art from the graphics
program to your finished sublimation product, you must print the design onto the sublimation paper
with an inkjet printer for sublimation. The sublimation paper allows you to then transfer the sublimation
dyes to the sublimation product. Sublimation paper is a coated paper which holds the sublimation dyes
on top of the paper when they are printed there with an inkjet printer.
There are basically three types of sublimation paper: regular, high-release and tacky or thermal. First, we
will talk about regular sublimation papers. These papers really excel with hard substrates, as they allow
you to sublimate very high resolution images. They also do a good job on fabric items. The second type
of sublimation paper is high release paper. This paper is engineered to achieve very high percentage of
dye release from the paper into your substrate. This paper is okay for hard substrates, but works really
well for fabrics. The last type of paper is tacky or thermal paper. This paper is specifically engineered
for fabrics.
There is one more type of paper used in the sublimation process, and that is blowout paper. Blowout paper
is used to catch any stray dyes and is replaced after each pressing.
Check out the papers that are available, and test them yourself to find the one that works the best for you.
