Common questions we meet about sublimation printing

1. Does Sublimation Paper Transfer onto Dark Fabric?
Sublimation is best suited to white or light-coloured fabric bases. You can use it on darker shades, however, it will affect your colours. White ink is not used in sublimation printing. White parts of the design remain unprinted which shows the base colour of the textile.
The benefit of sublimation over heat transfer printing is that there is a much broader range of colours. This means that you could print your background colour onto the fabric rather than use a different coloured fabric, and because of the advanced printing methods, the material would feel exactly the same.
2. Is heat transfer paper sensitive to humidity in the air?
Sublimation paper holds an enormous amount of moisture and humid air is not great for it. Exposure to humid air causes the sublimation paper to absorb it like a sponge. This results in image bleeding, uneven transfers and colour shifting.
Heat transfer paper is also sensitive to humidity. The inkjet printing is more prone to dotting and colour bleeding if there is excessive moisture in the paper, and as this form of printing applies a film, rather than being textureless, you may find that the transfer is not flat, or curls or peels at the edges.

3. Which is the right print side of the sublimation paper?
When working out which side to print on your sublimation paper, it is important that you print your design onto the bright white side. Simple way help you decide which side is print side, Dip your finger in water, then touch the paper, the sticky side is print side, because sublimation paper has coating layer.
4. Can thermal transfer paper be reused?
You can't reuse your thermal transfer paper, whichever type you use. Although with sublimation paper, you may find that there is some ink remaining on the paper, it will not be enough to make a good-quality print.
