What Is a Dye Sublimation Printing Machine?

Most of the countries in the world have a Printing Technology that is based on Dye Sublimation. However, Sri Lanka is not one of them. Its main industries are textiles and jewelry. Textile industry has been booming these days, as people love to wear different cloths and jewelry made from these beautiful materials.

Textiles can be anything. Clothes, bed covers, table cloth, cushion covers, table cloth, carpets, and bed spreads etc. that are being manufactured these days are based on Dye Sublimation printing technology. Dye Sublimation is the process of using pressurized water along with certain chemicals to change the color of the fabric.

We can see many benefits of using this technique. The first benefit is that it is environmental friendly. This process does not require the emission of any greenhouse gases. It also does not produce any smoke or fumes. The fabric we wear is safe because we do not need to worry about chemical spills on the fabric. Moreover, it does not cause any harm to the human health either.

The second benefit is that it is economical. The processing cost involved in this process is quite less than other methods of creating fabrics. So, we can save a lot of money that we would spend if we use other machines. Moreover, the amount of fabric that we need to produce is also lesser. As we are using the Sun’s energy to generate the heat for the UV dye, we do not need to use up a lot of the resources.

The next thing we need to know is where to buy a dye sublimation printing machine in Sri Lanka. If we search online, we will get lots of information from different websites. We can read reviews of people who have used this machine and can understand whether they have been satisfied with the product or not. This will help us in buying the right product.

Another thing we need to know is how the dye sublimation printing machine works. The heat that is generated from the Sun is passed through the pigment in the textile. It passes through the fabric and is absorbed by the ink. The color of the ink depends upon the content of colorants in the dyes. In this case, the dyes determine the color of the textiles.

Once the printing is done, the image stays in the container that is coated with varnish or oil. This is the final printing process. We can use it for a variety of purposes like creating photographic images, making labels, and doing various design jobs. The price of this machine depends upon its quality. If we want to produce large-scale results, then we need to invest in a high-end machine.

Finally, we need to know how to maintain the machine. Usually, we can clean the machine once in a fortnight or in a month. We need to avoid using soap and water to wipe the machine clean because the oil content in the material will react with the soap and water and will affect the quality of the output. To make sure that we have a good quality print out, we should clean the printer every time before use.

While purchasing the printer, you need to see whether it is compatible with your dye sublimation project or not. The compatibility is determined by checking whether all the needed accessories for the project are available with the printer. If not, we should consider buying them separately. Otherwise, it is better to rent a printer.

You can also use the online resources for researching about the different models available with the printing machines. This way, you will be able to compare prices and features of different machines. It is quite difficult to purchase the right one if you do not have basic knowledge about the features of the different printers. There are so many products on the internet but only few of them are reliable enough.

So, now you know what a dye sublimation printing machine actually is. You must know how to choose the best one in order to meet your needs. There are many types of printers available in the market. You can select the right one depending upon the purpose of the printing process. Also you should keep in mind that the most important thing when selecting the right printer is to deal with a reputed company. Check out the reviews of previous customers before selecting the suitable printer for your business.
