The difference between water transfer printing and thermal transfer printing: 1. Water transfer printing is derived from the printing process, using the principle of molecular diffusion to transfer the pattern (transfer film) to the On the article, thermal transfer printing is achieved by thermal transfer of thermal sol or thermal transfer coating absorbing thermal sublimation ink. 2. Thermal transfer printing needs to be achieved by heating devices, while water transfer printing only needs to use water; at the same time, the pattern that needs to be transferred by thermal transfer printing is generally reversed in left and right mirror images, while water transfer printing is the front image. Example: Take printing a cup as an example. The difference between thermal transfer printing and cold film transfer printing is that thermal transfer printing needs to be done with a cup baking machine, and the cup must be treated with thermal transfer coating. There are restrictions on materials and colors; while the cold film transfer cup has no restrictions on the cup, and does not require any special equipment.

Characteristics of thermal transfer printing, thermal transfer printing technology is used for digital transfer processing of TPU, PVC, EVA, TPR garden shoes and flip-flops. Compared with traditional water transfer printing, it has the following characteristics, the main features are as follows: (1 ) The pattern positioning is more accurate; (2) The surrounding transfer pattern is clear, not easily deformed and environmentally friendly, and the 3D digital thermal transfer technology can replace the troublesome process of the water transfer process. EVA heat transfer can produce irregular products. Such as shoe materials, notebook computer shells, mobile phone shells, mouse shells, surface shaped electronic products, plastic shells, phone shells, MP4, garden shoes and other irregular surface products. The digital transfer ink is thick, no matter light or dark EVA shoes, the transfer is brighter and clearer than water transfer. Digital transfer technology supports any design pattern with small deformation and accurate positioning during transfer!
