Heat Transfer Printing, also known as thermal sublimation, is a unique process that allows you to print portraits, landscapes or any other pictures on ordinary paper or high-precision printing paper using heat transfer ink. Subsequently, with the help of heat transfer equipment, these images can be heated to a specific temperature within a few minutes, thereby realistically transferring the colors on the paper to various materials such as porcelain cups, porcelain plates, porcelain plates, clothing, metals, etc.

As a novel printing technology, Heat Transfer Printing is widely used in products of various materials, especially suitable for making personalized, small-batch products, and printing patterns containing full-color images or photos. Its core process includes: using a special printer to print a digital pattern on transfer paper using special transfer ink, and then using a high-temperature and high-pressure heat transfer machine to accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the product to complete the printing work.

Heat Transfer Printing technology is flexible and can achieve a variety of printing effects by selecting different transfer materials. Among them, the film transfer technology uses transfer paper containing glue to firmly print the glue pattern on the surface of the product through high temperature and high pressure. Sublimation transfer is a new generation of advanced technology. It usesspecial sublimation ink and transfer paper, so that the pattern will not produce glue during the printing process. If transferred to clothing, the ink can be directly sublimated into the inside of the clothing fiber, achieving a firmness equivalent to cloth dyeing, and the color is sharp, which is very suitable for printing colorful patterns.

However, Heat Transfer Printing is not suitable for all products. Its applicability is affected by many factors such as the heat resistance and smoothness of the product. However,with the continuous advancement of technology, heat transfer technology has been successfully applied to the development of many products, such as clothing, cloth bags, hats, pillows, mugs, tiles, watches, mouse pads, coasters, hanging calendars, medals and pennants, totaling hundreds of types.

In addition, ceramics also use Heat Transfer Printing. In a high temperature environment of about 200 degrees, the ink is sublimated onto the ceramic, showing a bright color and firm pattern. It should be noted that ordinary mugs cannot be directly transferred, and must be treated with a special coating before the pattern can be transferred. 

Heat Transfer Printing can achieve exquisite printing of multiple colors, complex colors and transition colors at one time on a variety of flat materials such as leather, textiles, plexiglass, metal, plastic, crystal, wood products, and coated paper. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it does not require plate making, color registration and cumbersome plate exposure processes, while ensuring that there is no damage to the material.
