Analysis of the selection of processing equipment for thermal transfer

Thermal transfer is to transfer the pattern of thermal transfer film to the surface of the workpiece through preheating and pressing. Using thermal transfer film printing, the color pattern can be formed in one time, without color matching, and simple equipment can also print realistic patterns with bright colors, glossy and lifelike pictures. The thermal transfer process is extremely decorative and can greatly increase the added value of products.

Thermal transfer is an emerging printing process that has been introduced from abroad for only more than 10 years. The printing method of this process is divided into two parts: thermal transfer film printing and transfer processing. Transfer film printing adopts dot printing to pre-print the pattern on the surface of the film. The printed pattern is rich in layers, bright in color, ever-changing, with small color difference and good reproducibility. It can meet the requirements of the designer and is suitable for mass production; transfer processing uses a thermal transfer machine to transfer the exquisite pattern on the transfer film to the surface of the product in one process. After forming, the ink layer and the product surface are integrated, which is realistic and beautiful, greatly improving the grade of the product. Thermal transfer technology is applied to the surfaces of various products such as ABS, PP, plastic, wood, coated metal, etc. At present, thermal transfer technology has been widely used in plastics, cosmetics, toys, electrical appliances, building materials, gifts, food packaging, stationery and other industries.
