What Happens if You Use Regular Ink on Sublimation Paper?
Sublimation printing is a widely used method for transferring vibrant, long-lasting images onto a variety of materials, such as fabrics, ceramics, and metals. This process relies on specially formulated sublimation ink and paper to produce its impressive results. But what happens if you use regular ink instead? In this blog, we’ll explore the impact of using standard ink on sublimation paper and why it’s crucial to use the correct materials for successful sublimation printing. Understanding Sublimation Printing Before we explore the effects of using regular ink, let's first take a quick look at how sublimation printing works: - heat transfer : Sublimation ink is heated to the point where it transforms into a gas, allowing it to penetrate the surface of the substrate. - Permanent Bond: As the gas cools, it solidifies, creating a permanent bond with the material, resulting in vibrant, durable prints.
