Sublimation printer Printing on fabric. Thermal appliance on fabric

Widespread sublimation printers with a print width up to two meters

The digital printing market is constantly growing and, according to experts, by 2030 will reach 6.65 billion. Despite the absence of some brands (we hope temporary), the choice is still wide. Last year, the sublimation novelty of MIMAKI was presented, this year the presented lineup of ORIC cars expanded and Karya Dijital devices were presented recently.

We tried to figure out which models are suitable for beginners in textile press, and which are designed for large volumes. After reading this review, you will decide which models should be considered for your project.

The process of sublimation consists of two stages: printing the image on thermalrinospheric paper and its subsequent transfer to synthetic or mixed fabrics. Thus, the areas of application of this technology are wide: from the production of clothes and home textiles to the creation of flags, banners and souvenirs.

Sublimation printers are used to create:

• everyday and sportswear,
• designer and furniture fabrics,
• home textiles. bedding, tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads,
• interior and outdoor advertising. flags, banners, lightboxes, mobile stands,
• souvenir products. baseball caps, ribbons, umbrellas,
• interior elements. panel, screen,
• tourist and sports equipment,
• Theater and studio scenery,
• street design objects. canopies of summer cafes, visors.

If we talk about companies that such printers acquire, then these are sewing factories, manufacturers of sportswear, children’s toys or furniture, advertising and souvenir production.

As the suppliers explain, it makes no sense to share printers by type of product, since they are essentially able to print any drawing. It is more important to choose by speed of work. “A large clothing factory or flag production, for example, you need to make a thousand squares for a shift and transfer further to the sewing workshop, and a multidisciplinary RPK or a novice business for sewing swimsuits will be enough and 200 meters a day,” explains Dmitry Grazkov, marketing director of the company Smart-t.

The fastest in the review are the Printers of the Homer HM 1800 RPRO (445 m²/h in 1 pass) and ATExco Model X (430 m²/h). Such performance is associated with a large number of printing heads. 8 pieces. These machines fall into the class of industrial printers and are suitable for companies with a stably high volume of orders. For the start of business, there are enough models with 1-2 heads, for example, Volk 1601 with one head printing at a speed of up to 20 m²/h.

The number of colors for all printers in standard configuration is four, cmyk. This is enough for most tasks in the production of textiles. For companies making sportswear, it may be useful to add fluorescent yellow and pink to the standard palette. This option is offered by Mimaki, ORIC, ATEXCO, Roland, Karya Dijital, D.Gen, Homer, DGI and Grando.

Light Cyan and Magent, orange, purple and turquoise also help to increase color coverage. Configurations with them will be useful to companies that need to reproduce complex halftones and light shades. Together with high print resolution, these ink allow you to achieve photographic quality of the image.

In all devices, a drop of a variable drop is implemented, when a drop of minimum size is used when printing small parts, and with the maximum sections, the maximum. This helps saving ink and get better prints.

We also drew attention to the parameters of the material used for printing. The larger the roll is capable of accommodating the printer, the less paper costs, and therefore the cost of printing. Records for this indicator industrial class printers operating with windings up to 12,000 m or weighing up to 1000 kg. Printers designed for smaller production on average support the printing of rolls weighing about 50 kg.

Our selection includes printering manufacturers Mimaki, Volk, ORIC, KEUNDO, Atexco, Roland, Ark-Jet, Alfa, Karya Dijital, D.Gen, Homer, DGI, Grando C Width of the Press up to 2 meters.

Before we start. Widespread printing on fabric provides for the presence of not only a printer, but also a calendar thermopress. How to choose the equipment for transferring the image to the fabric you can read in the article on the link.

Mimaki

This Japanese manufacturer has two popular sublimation printing machines on the market-TS100-1600 printer and TS300P-1800 printer.

Let’s start with the novelty of 2021-Mimaki TS100-1600 with a print width of 1.6 m. During the year of active sales, Smart-T, one of the main MIMAKI suppliers conducted almost 80 installations! This is a very high indicator not only for the textile market, but also for large.format equipment in general.

TS100 is a massive available model that is suitable for everyone. Among the buyers are sewing factories that produce everyday and fashionable clothes, flag and multidisciplinary advertising production, souvenirs, a lot of sports clothing manufacturers (the largest segment), children’s toys factories and many others. It is acquired by beginner production, for which this is the very first textile printer and large enterprises. For example, at the Victory sportswear factory (Kazan) and in the company “Flags of Siberia” (Novosibirsk), two such machines were installed.

In 2021, the TS100-1600 printer received the award of the European Association of EDP Association Awards in the nomination “Best Rolling Textile Printer with a capacity of up to 100 m²/h”.

The main “chips” TS100-1600-low price and real maximum print speed of 70 m²/h. Original mimaki sb614 ink, with which a model is supplied, very saturated with a pigment and therefore economical in consumption (from 0.17 to 3.15 ml/m²). And what is important, the price of them is at the level of alternative, which is atypical for original consumables.

It is also worth noting the resource of two industrial printing heads Mimaki New Generation installed in the printer. The same are installed on the Mimaki TS55 printers, and the mileage of these cars exceeded 200,000 m², the heads in them did not change and their test is close to the ideal.

Stable print quality is provided by intellectual functions of replacement of nonsense, compensation for interpassengracial errors and a new function of adjusting the positioning of ink drops and feeding the media. The printer is supplied in the color configuration of Blmyk. The standard equipment includes an automatic winding system designed to work with rolons weighing 45 kg.

The STAYA sportswear factory from Krasnodar expanded production several months ago by installing the MIMAKI TS100-1600. Gennady Utkin, the director of the company, shared his impressions of the car:

“We make a sports form to order from the sketch to the finished product. The volume of orders is constantly growing, so we decided to expand our printing site. Stopped on the TS100-1600 models. The speed of work and the low cost of the apparatus itself became decisive in choosing. A pleasant bonus was a small ink consumption.

By car we print t.shirts, shorts, leggings, sweatshirts. In addition to the production of equipment, we have a store on Wildberries, where we are implementing everyday clothes with photo printing. Thanks to the new printer, it was possible to increase productivity by 2-2.5 times, which is now especially relevant, since plans to go to Ozon. Completely satisfied with TS100-1600. Now he works without stopping, sometimes even at night “.

The Mimaki TS300P-1800 model is defined as a printer of the “initial industrial” level. Its cruising speed in two passes with a resolution of 540 x 360 dpi is 80 m²/h, the maximum reaches 115 m²/hour.

The manufacturer did everything to maximize the cost of printing. The printer works on inexpensive original ink, the same as TS100.

The machine also prints on the thinnest and cheap sublimation paper (in rolls weighing up to 40 kg). Panasonic printing heads have high energy emissions, so they can be lifted to a height of up to 7 mm to avoid touching thin paper when it is warmed up. The paper is tightly held and smoothed in the printing area with vacuum presses. Elongated clamping plates prevent the bending of the edge of the carrier. Uniform paper supply and optimal tension is provided by the pendulum bar in the automatic winding system. A professional drying system (heater and two ruler of fans) allows you to print without a fringe even at the highest speeds. Smart-T said that some customers use paper with a density of 18 g/m².

Smart-T company is an official distributor of Mimaki widescreen printers to get advice, order samples, and also sign up for demonstrations from the company’s managers: 7 (495) 663-91-11; https: // Smart-t.ru

Epson

The portfolio of this vendor has many decisions for printing in textiles, both rolled and “leaf”/footballs. Consider Epson Surecolor SSF2100. Printer configuration. CMYKWH, and seal a T.shirt in 52 seconds for a T.shirt. The printer has several print modes and, depending on the necessary image, the operator will be able to choose the optimal.

Epson Micro Piezo TFP with a special coating that reduces snot clogging. Also, specially designed Epson Ultrachrome DG ink are available for the printer. In combination with the print head, they will provide accurate color rendering, wide color cover and smooth tonal transitions. Two volumes are available for a choice: 250 ml and 600 ml to ensure long and uninterrupted operation. In addition, the manufacturer notes the printer tolerance to downtime, which is important for most users of such equipment.

The operator’s work facilitates the Garment Creator, which is included. The program automatically regulates print settings for dark fabrics, starting the print of the white layer without preliminary settings. Also, with the help of Garment Creator, you can track all technological processes.

“The printer is equipped with a white automatic circulation system, a filter is installed in the circulation circuit to additional ink cleaning. In addition, the printer has a system of cleaning the print head using a fabric wiper, which provides the maintenance of the printing unit in automatic mode and allows the printer to issue stable and high.quality prints. High speed and traditional for Epson printers, unsurpassed print quality, resolution 1440 dpi, bright and saturated colors. One of the main advantages of the printer, ”answers the question of the competitive advantages of the printer Vladimir Turikov, commercial director of Foroffice.ru

Complete with the printer is an average printed table size of 355406 mm. You can also buy large (406508 mm), small (254 x 305 mm) and a print table on sleeves (101101 mm).

Note that Epson also has a line of compact sublimation printers. The sublimation printer seals special paper, then the printed image with the help of thermal press is transferred to a textile product (and not only). Despite their compactness, sublimation Epson can be printed not only on sheets, but also by rolls thanks to the device of automatic change of carriers. Two popular sublimation models-Surecolor SC-F500 (CMYK) and SC-F501 (CKFPFY-pink and yellow fluorescent).

We took a review about the printer of the sublimation Epson from the user.

“I work as a private person, I am engaged in the manufacture and sale of textile products. Three months ago I decided to expand. There used to be one small sublimation printer and thermopress, now I bought a sublimation Epson Surecolor SC-F500 in ForoFFICE. On this printer, print the blanks for textile products. Pillows, T.shirts.

The printer is very pleased. The print quality is excellent, the colors are bright! The speed is also pleasing: we print mainly by rolls, a three.meter roll on maximum quality, the printer printed in just 40 minutes. I will separately note the convenience of work: I have no special education, but without any problems I figured out the printer, connected it to the computer, set up Wi-Fi “. shared his impressions of the sublimation printer Yurchenko Vitaly Alexandrovich.

Polyprint

Texjet Echo2 from the Greek company Polyprint two options for color configurations: CMYKW and 2XCMYK for faster printing on light fabric. Per hour the printer will seal either 35 white T.shirts or 15 black. Unlike other models, two ink supply systems are available to users of this printer: sealant disposable cartridges of 140 ml and a refueling type of 160 ml, if high print volumes.

You can buy as many as ten tables of various sizes (from 1515 cm to the maximum 4160 cm) for a variety of products, which significantly diversifies the range of user services of such a printer. Texjet Echo2 can also print in products made of synthetic fabrics thanks to a special primer.

The director of the company “Three sliders” (g of. Krasnodar) Alexey Andreevich Zhukov:

We purchased a Polyprint printer for use as an independent printing device on finished clothes, but now it is integrated with us into a full.fledged production chain, in particular, to apply a pattern on the cut.

Since for us the most important task is to provide small fashionistas safe for their health, the harmlessness of ink used in the printer, for us was one of the determining factors. We know that the ink is made on water-based and have a serious international certificate of oeko-tex hygiene. And if buyers have doubts about the environmental friendliness of the production process, we will certainly inform them of this document worthy of confidence.

Polyprint printer provides us with exceptional flexibility in working with clients. In addition to our own collections, which are offered to a wide circle of buyers, we take for single products to order. The efficiency of digital technology allows us to go to a meeting to the buyer in his desire to show individuality, while the profitability of production does not fall at all.

The great advantage of the Polyprint printer is its high performance. With the demand that we have for digital printing, we easily seal up to 150 products per day, which completely satisfies us.

If we talk about this equipment in general, then in it, in addition to the quality of the press, bribes high reliability, ease of service, wide versatility in relation to clothing items thanks to the interchangeable tables of different sizes and a small consumption of ink, which positively affects the cost of our products.

What fabrics can be printed on

The tissue drawing machine does not know how to work with different materials, so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the classification. Manufacturers offer to consider both natural and synthetic fabrics. They differ in texture, have individual density, other characteristics (elasticity, water.repellent properties, etc.

• felt or felt;
• footer;
• hockey mesh;
• sandwich;
• Riban;
• the first;
• pike;
• false link;
• pleading.

Type of fabric is an important criterion when choosing a device

If we consider the biflex, then he has a stated high density. from 170 grams per square meter. In the store it is not found as often as in demand by athletes. Supplex is also used to print on swimsuits and bathing suits. Sports costumes are often produced. The fabric is considered more suitable for stencil printing.

The density of the false grid is 135 grams per square meter. T.shirts, shirts are sewn from them. Material is necessary for stencil printing. The peak has a low density, shirts and shirts-poolo are sewn from it.

Important! The material is absolutely not suitable for ceramic laser printers, used only on gravity machines.

A sports shirt is suitable for printing on linen fabric or T.shirts, has a density of 130 grams per square meter. The material is suitable for stencil printing.

Printers and equipment for sublimation

Sublimation. This is a fairly simple print technology for which special training of staff is not required. One of its advantages. For printing, a minimum set of consumables is required: sublimation paper and ink. And from the equipment you only need a sublimation printer and a press for transferring the image.

The first stage of printing. This is the creation of a mirror image on sublimation paper using a printer and ink.

Second phase. Thermal transfer of the image from paper to fabric. To do this, the fabric and paper are combined by the front sides and placed in the press. Ink, with rapid heating, pass from a solid state to gaseous and transferred to textiles. At the same time, they penetrate deeply into the fibers of the fabric and create a bright image.

Thus, sublimation turns the most ordinary products into original products with clear prints of photographic quality. Another plus of this method: the resulting image is resistant to fading and numerous washing.

But not every fabric is suitable for sublimation printing. For the thermal transformation to take place, the material should have at least 60% of the polyester.

Sublimation printing areas:

Advertising and promo-textiles: shopping tents, bandans, caps, t-shirts, promo naps. Sublimation is especially popular in the manufacture of advertising products, since most often it is made of synthetic materials.

Flags, banners and dugs: street and interior flags, corporate and sports flags, party and national flags, textile banners and banners. Particularly strong synthetic materials are used to create flags and banners. Images applied by sublimation to tolerate adverse environmental influences well: do not burn out in the sun and are not washed off by rains.

Sports clothing: swimwear, hockey and football uniforms, costumes for athletics and cycling, for skiers and snowboarders, form for sports clubs and sections. Sports clubs strive for personalization and strive to ensure that their paraphernalia stands out in competitions. Therefore, the demand for the production of a sports form is very great.

Interior textiles: curtains, decorative pillowcases, furniture fabrics, covers and arms-bags, etc. For decor elements that can serve for years, it is especially important to maintain the resistance of printed prints. Such resistance easily provides sublimation printing.

You can buy a sublimation printer and everything for sublimation printing can be in Esaprint. Always in stock paper and ink to create the highest quality images. When choosing materials and equipment, you will receive an exhaustive consultation of an engineer. Our experts will bring, install, start equipment and teach it to work on it.

Sublimation printer. what is it

A sublimation printer is a special device designed to print images with high resolution without losing their quality. Excellent color rendering and the detail of the prints, the stability of the resulting drawings to the effects of moisture and sunlight is ensured.

We will talk about the device of the sublimation printer, its advantages compared to jet and use. You will also find out what consumables are necessary for such a device that the image format can be obtained, and how to choose the best sublimation printer when buying.

Printer for sublimation printing: The principle of operation

The device and principle of operation of the sublimation printer can be compared with similar parameters of a bob tape recorder. Two rollers are installed in the printer. the supply and receiving. From one of them, a special tape with several segments is rewind to the other, each of which is covered with a solid dye of different colors.

On the print head is the heating element. Under its influence, the dye evaporates and from a firm state goes into gaseous. This process is called sublimation. As a result, a small cloud of concentrated paint is formed, settling on the material and the forming image. With the help of filters, evaporation of the dye are dosed, and high accuracy of the image is achieved.

The surface of the material on which the print is performed begins to melt under the influence of high temperature, and the ink particles are soldered with its upper layers. A picture is formed that is stable not only to the effects of moisture and light, but also to mechanical damage (to abrasion).

There are two methods of sublimation printing:

• Straight. The paints are mixed inside the sublimation printer for printing on fabric or paper and immediately applied to the material. This method is also used to apply images to plastic cards.
• Thermalrotransfer. Includes two stages: first, a mirror image of the image is printed on a siliconized medium, and then the pattern is transferred to the desired product using thermopress.

For printing, special tapes with dyes of different colors are used: tricolor (blue, purple, yellow), four.color (blue, purple, yellow, black) and other colors (blue, silver, red, gold, green, etc. D.). Coloring substances are mixed using a diaphragm, and thus various shades are achieved.

The seal occurs in stages. each tone of the coloring substance is applied separately. Heating temperature can be adjusted. The higher it is, the brighter and more colorful the finished image. To obtain pictures in muffled calm colors, the temperature is reduced. Thanks to this regulation, you can get a variety of shades with great gradation for their saturation.

Textile printers and their prices

Actually, the printers presented in our store can print not only on T.shirts, but also on almost any other fabric products. In addition to textiles, our printers are able to print even on a faner, plastic surfaces and glass. All this opens up almost limitless opportunities for the development of your business.

To work on our equipment for printing on fabrics, no specific skills and knowledge are required, it is enough to be an ordinary computer user and own any graphic editor at the basic level. Particular attention is paid to the fact that extensive work and video lessons are always attached to each supply of any printer.

Buy printing printer on T.shirts

And to start your business, for example, printing on textiles, you only need a computer and thermopress, and the scanner is at will. Of course, workpieces. cotton material at least 70%. Requirements for the room, also very modest, quite small room, desktop, network filter. Energy consumption allows you to use even weak ordinary apartment wiring.

Let us consider in a comparative table the advantages of our printers for printing on T.shirts, before sublimation technology. Perhaps you think about why pay money for a straight print printer with textile ink, because there is a sublimation technology, when the image is printed on special paper on a regular printer, and then transferred to the fabric by heating, and in principle even the thermopress is not needed, after all, the use of an ordinary iron is enough Many are mistaken. But without the use of thermopress in any technology there will be constant marriage!

The printing technology on these printers implies direct printing on the fabrics with special wear.resistant ink with subsequent consolidation in thermal press.

Here images are printed on thermalrinerfer paper. After that, the fingerprint is put on the fabric and in the press is transferred to the material used.

It is impossible to attribute the resulting products to the guarantee, due to the rapid aging of prints on the source material

Depending on the printer model and printer format, starting with A3 format. At the request of the customer, it is possible to increase the height of the table, depending on the desire to print on materials of greater thickness.

In the production of our textile printers, only high.quality expensive components are used, so you can buy a printer for printing on t.shirts of increased reliability!

Electric part, whether A4 printer or printer with a large size of the working field, is made with a power supply. Steping engines, drivers, power supplies. all this is not the cheapest, but on the contrary, from the category of premium. For example, if you take a cheap drive engine driver, then it will publish an unpleasant and constant whistle on the “idle”. When the voltage is supplied to it, the sound increases. Drivers that we install. do not make any extraneous sounds, work quietly and harmoniously, do not “conflict” with other basic components and arise positively.

In each model of printers for printing on T.shirts, polished shafts or linear guides are used, unlike ordinary ball guides, which, when used in ordinary furniture, are scattered and break down over time. Hence the question. how long the printer is calculated with the cheap Chinese guides installed in it? The answer is obvious. not for a long time.

Tough pulley and belt in conjunction with linear guides move the table with the material so accurately that if you print the same image at least 50 times, it will be printed in the same place without any displacement or bifurcation.

If we consider the method of moving the table by conventional friction (a plastic table rolls back/forward along a rough shaft or “sprockets” from plexiglass), which some competitors practice. This gives the capital wear of all these “inventions” and it will be necessary to constantly change something, change, finalize. To all this, such a way of moving the moving tablet is not designed for volumes and at the most unnecessary moment will create only unnecessary troubles.

Our task is to give durable practical equipment, and not a cheap analogue.

Popular models

The leaders in the production of sublimation printers today are Canon, Mitsubishi, Epson, Sony and DNP. At the same time, Sony specializes in home desktop models, while Canon and Epson have both household and professional samples.

The printer is characterized by small dimensions and lack of noise during printing, and the main disadvantage is a deficiency of consumables.

How to choose?

When choosing a sublimation printer, it is necessary to take into account a number of important points.

• Particular attention should be paid to the number of colors. So, if the printer is purchased for the home, then you can limit yourself to a three.lane option. If the technique is selected for entrepreneurial activity, which involves mass production of souvenirs or clothing, then it is better to buy a four- or six-way sample.
• And also you need to look at the minimum volume of the drop, which is measured in picoliters (pl). The smaller this indicator, the more clear and expressive the picture will be. An ideal option would be to buy a printer with a drop size of 1.5 pl. However, this choice also has the reverse side: the print head of such models is clogged much more often than, for example, in devices with a drop size of 4 pl.
• If the printer is bought for advertising agencies or printing houses, then you need to choose a floor, large.format model capable of printing banners and posters. For home use, a miniature desktop model will be enough: they take up little space, work almost silently and cost much cheaper than professional samples.
• A significant point is the presence of a continuous supply system of ink (SNPC).

In such models, ink are not in the cartridge, but in roomy jars, which allows the printer refueling much less often.
