Winner decal® paper: the secret to high-quality sublimation printing
Sublimation technology has revolutionized the world of digital printing, especially in the fashion, sportswear and home textile industries. In this article we reveal how the new range of Winner decal® sublimation papers is the secret to the best quality sublimation printing. We’ll explore the importance of its coating and how it optimizes the process with less ink waste and more color intensity.
Understanding sublimation printing
Before we introduce the decal® Winner range, it’s important to understand the sublimation printing process. Briefly, sublimation printing involves transferring an image or design onto a substrate, such as paper, using heat and pressure. One of the key elements in this process is sublimation ink – a special type of ink that turns into a gas when heated – and the other is, of course, the paper used.
Winner® decal sublimation paper
We say that Winner® decal sublimation paper is the secret to superior quality because we know that this is no ordinary paper. Our new solution for sublimation printing has a coating specially formulated to absorb and retain ink, vitally boosting quality assurance and the longevity of prints. Its ability to release more ink from the paper to the fabric, in the right quantity, means you can have more color with less ink used.
A highly effective coating
The coating on Winner decal® papers prevents the sublimation ink from being absorbed by the fibers of the paper and the substrate. Its great added value is its ability to retain the ink on the surface of the paper, facilitating a smooth transfer to the substrate during the sublimation process. This avoids faded, dull and poorly durable prints.
What makes this coating unique
This coating has been specially developed with a combination of materials such as silica and kaolin clay. The combination of these components helps control the absorption and release of ink to ensure vivid and precise prints. Its formulation includes other essential additives which, among other things, prevent the paper from curling or wrinkling during printing.
Exclusive benefits of decal® Winner
When printing with the decal® Winner range, the coating ensures that the paper absorbs only the necessary amount of ink. This significant reduction in ink consumption not only cuts printing costs, but also promotes environmental sustainability. In addition, optimizing the use of ink contributes to maintaining high print quality because it allows you to easily achieve the desired color and saturation. In short, you get a print result with less ink consumption and more color intensity.
Highly cost-effective printing
As we mentioned earlier, one of the great advantages of Winner® decal paper coating is its ability to minimize ink absorption. This allows companies to significantly reduce ink costs without compromising print quality. The cost-effectiveness of Winner decal® sublimation papers can make a big difference to the bottom line, whether you’re a small printer or a large-scale printing business.
Vibrant, long-lasting prints
The new Winner decal® range is an important step in the evolution of sublimation printing by establishing itself as the best solution for achieving vibrant, long-lasting results. The ink absorption control prevents faded colors and the designs stand the test of time, creating garments, home decor and personalized promotional items that stand out.
The quality is in the sublimation paper and not only
The Winner decal® papers are at the center of attention when we talk about quality in sublimation printing. However, there are other elements in which you need to make the right investment, such as the sublimation printer, ink and heat press. Opting for top-of-the-range equipment and using compatible inks makes all the difference in achieving exceptional prints.
