The difference between thermal transfer printing process and digital printing

What is thermal transfer? Why use thermal transfer technology? Thermal transfer is a new method of printing patterns on a variety of materials. It is particularly suitable for the production of a small number of various personalized and customized products, as well as printing patterns containing full-color images or photographs. The principle is that the digital pattern is printed on the transfer special paper by a special thermal transfer ink through a printer, and then a special transfer machine is used to accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the commodity at a high temperature and high pressure to complete the commercial printing.

Thermal transfer (thermal transfer ink) is an emerging printing process that has been imported from abroad for less than 10 years. The printing method is divided into two parts: the transfer film printing and the transfer printing. The transfer film printing uses the dot printing, and the pattern is pre-printed on the surface of the film. The printed pattern is rich in layers, colorful, varied, small color difference, reproducibility. Good, can achieve the design effect of the design requirements, and suitable for mass production; Transfer processing through a thermal transfer machine (heating and pressure) to transfer the fine pattern on the transfer film on the surface of the product, the ink layer after molding With the product surface dissolved as one, realistic and beautiful, greatly improving the product's grade. However, due to the high technological content of this process, many materials need to be imported.

The heat transfer technology is slightly better than the digital printing.

Digital Express is a systematic project that involves cutting-edge technologies such as CAD technology, network communication technology, precision machining technology, and fine chemical technology. It is a product of the fusion of information technology and traditional technologies such as machinery, textiles and chemicals.

Traditional printing has never been possible without the use of flat screens and circular screens. However, the cost and time spent in the process of pattern making cannot meet the trend of modern printing with small batches and many varieties. Therefore, digital printing is not developed without pressure. printing. The basic principle is the same as the inkjet printer.

Since digital jet printing technology involves a lot of calculation and control, it can be said that without today's high-speed computers, there can be no digital jet printing technology. For now, the development of digital jet printing technology is basically synchronized with the working capability of computers. However, the development of computer technology still shows no signs of abating. With the development of computer technology, it is expected that digital printing technology in the future will also develop rapidly. . At the same time, the manufacturing technology of the nozzle also benefits from the related technologies of the integrated circuit, such as etching, precision assembly, and the like. The constant emergence of modern high-frequency, multi-nozzle nozzles proves this.
