As a sublimation paper supplier, we divide our transfer paper into sticky sublimation paper and fast dry sublimation paper. Then what’s the difference between them? The drying speed. The drying speed of sticky sublimation paper is lower than the fast dry sublimation paper. Do you know why?
Sticky sublimation paper is a kind of sublimation paper with a sticky coating on the surface. The sticky coating can adhere to the textiles very firmly, so the paper and textile will be connected tightly, it is effectively in avoiding the ghosting, especially when printing on stretch fabric.
The sticky sublimation paper is mainly applied to stretch materials like lycra, polyester with spandex、polyester with cotton(<30%). There are many advantages of sticky sublimation paper, such as high transfer rate, good drying time, sharp text and fine lines as there is no movement between paper and fabric… But many people are puzzled one problem that why the sticky/tacky sublimation paper dries slower than regular sublimation transfer paper, even though the sticky paper is quick-dry type as well. This doesn’t mean the sticky paper has quality problem.
The coating of the sticky sublimation paper is the main factor that can influence the speed of drying. The coating of sticky sublimation paper is mainly made up of high molecular polymer. Different with the fast dry sublimation paper, this kind of coating is water-based, so the sticky sublimation paper needs longer drying time. And there is one thing that you should know: the higher tackiness is, the slower the paper dries. You should choose the suitable sticky paper instead of higher sticky paper.
Different factories and customers have different requirements about the sticky sublimation paper. Some of them pay more attention to the tackiness of the paper, because they just want high sticky paper, and don’t care the drying speed. But some factories and customers just put a little sticky coating onto the paper to improve some performance of the regular paper.
