Solvent Dye Sublimation Ink

Dye sublimation ink

Solvent dye sublimation inks are basically pigments suspended in an oil base, but of course there are other stabilizers and surfactants in the mix. Solvent inks may contain a chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer at 2-6%, a polymeric amide at 0-4%, a ethyl acetate at 0-4%, 2-methoxy-1-mthylethyl at 0-1.25%, N-butyl acetate at 0-2.5%, and Butan-2-OL at 0-0.5%. There will also be a distillate at 0-3%, and at least one subliminal disperse dye at a rate of 0.25% to 9%, which must be insoluble in either an included ether or acetate. Propylene glycol must be included in the range of 0% to 2%, and an additional acetate will make up 78% to 95% of the solution. This entire solvent based dye sublimation ink solution must, when mixed properly, be able to flow through the head of an ink jet printer in order to function properly.

 

Aqueous Dye Sublimation Ink

In aqueous dye sublimation ink, water is the solvent in which the pigments and other ingredients are suspended, and the water will typically make up 30-95% of the weight of the ink. The dye particles make up 1-10% of the solution, and must have a melting point of 200 degrees Celsius or higher. 5% to 40% of the solution may be a co-solvent such as glycerol, propylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol. 0.01% to 5% of the weight will be a surfactant, which will reduce the tension between the other ingredients and act as an emulsifier. The solution will also include a biocide such as Procel GXL as a preservative, at 0.01% to 5% of the final product’s weight.

 

Applications of sublimation ink

● Ideal for transfer print onto fabric with more than 60% chemical fibers.

UV inkjet inks  are available as hard, flexible or edible inks. Some of our UV inkjet inks can be used in conjunction with ink primers to ensure longer adhesion. What is UV ink made of? UV ink is an ink where ultraviolet light dries or cures the ink. It was introduced in the early 1970s. However, it was only in the early 2000s that it became popular. According to industry experts, UV inks have significantly improved efficiency, production costs and output quality. They further add that UV inks have excellent chemical and physical properties and do not require any protective varnish. In addition, their fast curing process allows the printer to save energy and produce high output levels. The most exciting part about UV inks is that they are economical and do a better job than sol...

How to Choose UV Printer Ink?

  As a   UV Led Ink Supplier , share with you. The ink used by UV printers is different from ordinary home or office inks. The UV inks of UV printers should mainly consider the following factors: 1. UV ink fluency Good smooth ink: Will not easily block the nozzle of the UV printer. After half a month, the ink is still smooth when printing. Ink with poor fluidity: It is easy to block the print head, sometimes the block is very thorough, and the cleaning is not good, causing the print head to be scrapped. 2. UV ink smell Identifies the quality of ink by smell, and the weaker the smell, the less corrosive the ink. 3. UV ink color reproduction The printed image can be compared with the image on the monitor. The closer the color is, the better the ink reducibility and vividness. UV Led Ink Why do you say that it is closer, instead of being exactly the same? Because the display used by most customers may be a liquid crystal display or a common CRT. Liquid crystal displays have devia...
