How to choose good sublimation ink for your inkjet plotter?

Literally, any kind or brand sublimation ink that is compatible with your sublimation printing equipment.

Sublimation printing has become a popular method  for printing images on T-shirts, mugs and even tiles. They are used all around the world because of the premium quality of images that it produces. This quality of images largely depends upon the quality of ink used during the printing process. A good quality ink will not only improve the quality of print, it will also help you get the most out of your money. So before you purchase sublimation ink for your industrial printer, following things should be considered.

• Choose the Ink with the Smallest Sublimation Dye Particles

As a rule of thumb, the smaller the sublimation dye particles the better will be the result. If you are looking for fine and smooth printing on shirts then pay heed to the size of the particle. The info regarding the particle’s size can be found on the packet or bottle of ink purchased. Also, a sublimation ink with dye particles that aren’t tiny can clog the nozzles or printing head of the sublimation printing machine thereby adversely affecting the quality of the print and also resulting in increased cost of maintenance.

• Choose the Ink with High Color Reduction

When buying ink for your printer, you should only choose the ink with high color reduction. This will ensure that images printed on the T-shirts or mugs are vivid and sharp.

• Be Brand Conscious When Buying Sublimation Ink

Not in favor of spending money on higher brands? If you chose a lower quality brand over a superior one when it comes to buying sublimation ink then there definitely is a problem. Good quality brands are generally more expensive than the lower quality ones and thus many people are inclined to buy them but if you are in the market to by a good quality sublimation ink then remember that a good brand is a guarantee of superior quality ink. In a nutshell, in the world of sublimation ink, brand matters.

• Purity of the Ink Color Matter Too!

While choosing a sublimation ink you have to keep in mind that the purity and the deepness of the color matters too. When purchasing a sublimation ink ensure that the color is deep enough and won’t even change slightly after it is printed on the desired surface. Poor quality of sublimation ink may not only produce substandard type of image, it will affect the performance of your printing machine too.

• In the End, Don't be Thrifty When Buying Sublimation Ink

Most of the sublimation inks that are cheaply available in the market are not made up of dye; rather a major portion of such inks consists of water. This increases the drying time of the ink and thus reduces the production. It is therefore, imperative that you invest in high quality sublimation inks which are usually a bit expensive but are a good value for one’s money.
