Which products can be thermally transferred?

1-Which products can be thermally transferred?
Thermal transfer technology is a special printing technology. It is a popular surface printing method in recent years. It is suitable for transfer of various materials, such as plastics (ABS, AS, PC, PP, PE, PET, PVC, EVA), glass, leather, metal after painting, wood after painting and other regular products.

Which products can be thermally transferred?

It can be applied to children's toys, student stationery, office supplies, women's cosmetics, leather wallets, wood products, food packaging, gifts and other aspects.

2-Which products are not suitable for thermal transfer?
Textile bags, T-shirts, silicone, ceramics, printed products with too rough surfaces, and some irregular substrates are also not suitable for thermal transfer. If you can't judge whether your product can be thermally transferred, you can attach product information and pictures to consult customer service.

3-What equipment is needed for thermal transfer?

1. Thermal transfer machine

The thermal transfer machine is the main equipment for processing operations. If there is no thermal transfer machine, the thermal transfer operation cannot be completed. During the processing, it is necessary to clean the surface of the product first, adjust the appropriate pressure and temperature according to the product properties, and press it lightly to print the film on the designated position, so that it can be easily completed.

2. Clamp

Due to the many restrictions of thermal transfer (such as transfer area and substrate shape, etc.), objects of different areas and shapes will use specific fixing tools-clamps to fix the product to ensure that the pattern is accurately overprinted at the designated position.

3. Rubber Roller

The rubber roller is an indispensable consumable in the thermal transfer process. It can be used continuously at high temperatures and has good thermal conductivity and non-adhesiveness. It is an ideal choice for transfer decoration of cylindrical peripheries and large flat or curved surfaces.

The outer layer of the rubber roller is silicone, which is soft and slightly elastic. It can print a variety of plastic products with ideal results. The rubber roller has multiple specifications of hardness. The higher the hardness, the better. It should be based on the product properties. Most products use 75° rubber rollers because they have moderate elasticity and softness.
