Thermal transfer technology for signs

Thermal transfer technology for signs

1. Application of thermal transfer technology for signs

The application of thermal transfer technology in signs is already quite common. Common sign materials include metal signs, wooden signs, plastic signs, reflective signs, etc. Traditional thermal transfer technology is most widely used in plastic signs.

The following mainly introduces the application of thermal transfer technology for plastic signs.

2 Application of thermal transfer technology for signs in various industries

1. Product signs;

A. Car logos;

B. Electrical appliance signs;

C. Mechanical nameplates;

D. Motorcycle, electric vehicle, and power-assisted vehicle signs;

E. Furniture signs;

F. Door industry signs;

G. Luggage signs;

2. Commercial signs: generally refers to signs set up to achieve commercial purposes.

A. Medals: a general term for honorary signs.

B. Navigation signs;

C. Public signs;

The printed patterns on these signs are clear, exquisite and timeless.

3. Implementation process of heat transfer technology for signs
The heat transfer technology process for signs listed above is:

The first step is to design and produce high-resolution printed artwork according to the appearance size of the sign;

The second step is to separate the colors and layers according to the size of the artwork, and produce a dot-type gravure electric engraving plate;

The third step is to use a gravure printing machine to print the exquisite patterns on the gravure plate onto a coated PET polyester film, that is, to print it into a heat transfer printing film, which can print thousands of meters of finished patterns in one hour;

The fourth step is to use a heat transfer machine to transfer the exquisite patterns on the heat transfer printing film to the corresponding sign. The operation process is simple, the pattern is formed at one time, and no color matching is required.

In this way, signs with realistic patterns, rich layers, bright colors, and durable wear are "born".

Compared with digital thermal transfer technology, this type of sign thermal transfer technology is more suitable for high-demand, large-scale sign thermal transfer production. Digital thermal transfer is only suitable for the production of a very small number of personalized crafts and cannot form a large-scale production.

Also because the production efficiency of sign thermal transfer technology is extremely high, its advantages in cost control are also unmatched by personalized digital sign thermal transfer.
