Iron plate thermal transfer process

1 Iron plate thermal transfer process
The application of metal thermal transfer has increased in recent years, and iron plate thermal transfer is a common type of metal thermal transfer.

2 Iron plate thermal transfer process
Let's take a look at the process of iron plate thermal transfer.

1. Iron plate thermal transfer-printing film must be printed before platemaking
The printing machine prints the thermal transfer film according to the electric engraving plate, and thermal transfer typesetting becomes a very critical link. <

When using editing and processing software to typeset the iron plate thermal transfer film, experienced typesetting technicians need to fully consider several issues:

1) Thermal transfer platemaking plate circumference, 380mm≤plate circumference≤1000mm; 430mm≤plate length≤1000mm.

2) The "shrinkage" of the substrate and the "stretchability" value of the thermal transfer base film.

3) The efficiency of the iron plate thermal transfer process (continuity, simplicity, etc.).

2. Iron plate thermal transfer process - thermal transfer film printing
The production of iron plate thermal transfer film can be briefly divided into 6 steps:

1) Apply blank PET film;

2) Print the flower film pattern;

3) Apply "metal thermal transfer glue" to the printed thermal transfer film;

4) Re-inspection;

5) Striping;

6) Packaging.

3. Iron plate thermal transfer process - transfer processing
In recent years, "metal thermal transfer glue" has been continuously improved, and the complex "thermal sublimation" has gradually faded out of the thermal transfer industry stage, and the traditional iron plate thermal transfer has been realized.

The process of iron plate thermal transfer processing is to achieve the effect of melting the transfer pattern (thermal transfer ink) and the iron plate surface through the action of the thermal transfer machine, thermal transfer rubber roller [heating, pressurization] and metal thermal transfer glue.

So far, after the three stages of plate making, film printing and processing, a piece of iron plate thermal transfer with a "unique" pattern has been completed
