Three aspects to pay attention to in thermal transfer design draft

1-Three aspects to pay attention to in thermal transfer design draft
The thermal transfer industry is an emerging printing technology, and making printing design drafts is an important process. In the process of making printing design drafts, special attention should be paid to the following three aspects:

2-Appropriate bleed size
The appropriate layout bleed size is generally controlled within 3mm, so as to avoid the phenomenon of printing blank space. In the process of making design drafts, Adobe InDesign, Coreldraw, Photoshop and other application software are generally used, and the bleed prompt line, character safety line or warning frame line should be set first.

3-Thermal transfer spot color printing
Many customers always hope that their thermal transfer products can stand out from many printed products, and the commonly used technique is to use gold, silver and spot colors in the printing design draft for printing, which can not only improve the product grade, but also enhance its own market value.

Since gold, silver and spot colors cannot be adjusted using cymk, they are processed in spot colors. For this type of printing design, a separate film is produced for it and printed.

4- Inspection and proofreading is the key
Before confirming the thermal transfer design, it is necessary to do a good job of inspection and proofreading. This link is very critical. If the content and specifications of the printing design are not checked and proofread in time, it is easy to make mistakes, which may bury hidden dangers for the subsequent thermal transfer process. For this reason, the following two points must be done:

1. Bleeding inspection

Bleeding is the color position or graphic that is naturally connected to the finished product outside the finished product line. Generally, the bleeding position is set to 3mm per side; if you are printing books, you must also add the spine position (the size of the spine position should be determined according to the number of visible inner pages and the thickness of the paper).

2. Mode inspection

It is recommended to check the composition structure of fill, outline, picture and text. Once the structure of RGB mode is found, it should be converted to CMYK mode. Only with unified format can the printed products with consistent specifications be printed, otherwise the expected printing effect cannot be achieved.
