When buying sublimation transfer paper, you usually need to know the size and weight you want. But there are all kinds of weight from 45 gram to 140 gram in the market, how to make sure you are choosing the right one?
1. The amount of ink loading.
Ink loading is related with the water absorption by the paper. The higher the sublimation ink loading, the heavier the paper has to be, in order to accept the moisture from the ink without any printing problem.
Sometimes, the images you print are not complicate and colorful, so the amount of ink loading is low, and you can choose the low weight sublimation paper. But if the image you print is complete and colorful, the amount of ink loading will be high, and you’d better choose the heavy weight sublimation paper.
2. Roll to roll or roll to sheet
When the printed paper is processed from the roll in a transfer calendar , it is better to use the light weight paper.
3. The humidity of the printing environment
When the humidity is low (under 45% RH), you’d better choose 75gsm paper. Because the paper will shrink in a low humidity, and 75gsm is thinner and softer, it will relieve the wrinkle.
When the humidity is higher than 70% RH, the thicker paper100gsm, 120gsm will work better than thinner paper, because the paper is very easy to become damp in a high humidity.
When the humidity is higher than 70% RH, the thicker paper100gsm, 120gsm will work better than thinner paper, because the paper is very easy to become damp in a high humidity.
4. The print speed
The low weight sublimation paper is suitable for high speed printers, because it can avoid the crimping of the paper. And if you use low weight sublimation paper for ordinary printers, the ink will easily permeate the paper. Besides, high speed print usually doesn’t pursuit the high quality, use the low weight paper can save the cost.
Choosing the right sublimation paper is very important for the sublimation printing. It can not only help you get a better printing result, can also help you save a lot of money. So please remember how to choose the right paper.
