The KTM-A23 digital sublimation printer is a state-of-the-art machine that utilizes the process of sublimation to transfer images onto various substrates. Sublimation involves converting solid ink particles into a gas, bypassing the liquid phase, through the application of heat. This process offers exceptional color vibrancy, detail, and durability, making it a popular choice for creating high-quality prints on fabrics, ceramics, metals, and other materials.
Working Mechanism of the KTM-A23 Sublimation Printer
The KTM-A23 sublimation printer operates on a precise and efficient system that includes:
1. Printing:
The printing process begins with the preparation of the image to be printed using a computer and specialized design software.
The image is then sent to the printer, which utilizes four high-precision I3200 print heads to deposit tiny droplets of sublimation ink onto a transfer paper.
2. Transfer:
The printed transfer paper is then placed onto the substrate to be printed upon, with the design facing the material.
A heat press is used to apply heat and pressure, typically around 180-220°C (356-428°F), for a predetermined duration.
3. Sublimation:
Under the influence of heat and pressure, the sublimation ink converts from a solid to a gaseous state, bypassing the liquid phase.
The gaseous ink penetrates the substrate's surface, bonding with the material at a molecular level.
4. Fixation:
Once the sublimation process is complete, the heat press is removed, and the printed substrate is allowed to cool.
The cooled ink solidifies, permanently bonding to the material and creating a vibrant, long-lasting print.
