decal® Winner paper: The secret to high-quality sublimation printing
Sublimation technology has revolutionized the world of digital printing, especially in the fashion textile industry, sportswear, and home decor. In this article, we reveal how the new range of decal® Winner sublimation papers is the key to achieving the best quality in sublimation printing. We will explore the importance of its coating and how it optimizes the process with reduced ink consumption and increased color intensity.

Understanding sublimation printing
Before we introduce the decal® Winner range, it is important to understand the process of sublimation printing. In brief, 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 transforms into a gas when heated - and, of course, the paper used.

The decal® Winner sublimation paper
We assert that the decal® Winner sublimation paper is the key to superior quality because we know it is not an ordinary paper. Our new solution for sublimation printing features a specially formulated coating designed to absorb and retain ink, crucially enhancing the guarantee of quality and the longevity of prints. Its ability to release more ink from the paper to the fabric, in just the right amount, allows for more vibrant colors with reduced ink usage.

A highly effective coating
The coating of decal® Winner papers prevents sublimation ink from being absorbed by the fibers of the paper and substrate. Its significant advantage lies in its capacity to retain ink on the paper's surface, facilitating a smooth transfer to the substrate during the sublimation process. This prevents faded, dull, and short-lived prints.

What makes this coating unique
This coating has been specially developed with a combination of materials, such as silica and kaolin clay. The synergy of these components contributes to controlling ink absorption and release, ensuring vivid and precise prints. Its formulation includes other essential additives that, 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 lowers printing costs but also promotes environmental sustainability. Additionally, optimizing ink usage contributes to maintaining high print quality, as it easily achieves the desired color and saturation. In summary, it results in prints with less ink consumption and more color intensity.

Cost-effective prints
As mentioned earlier, one of the great advantages of the decal® Winner paper coating is its ability to minimize ink absorption. This allows companies to significantly reduce ink expenses without compromising print quality. The cost-effectiveness of decal® Winner sublimation papers can make a substantial difference in financial outcomes, whether for small printing businesses or large-scale printing enterprises.

Vibrant and durable prints
The new decal® Winner range marks an important step in the evolution of sublimation printing, asserting itself as the best solution for achieving vibrant and long-lasting results. The control of ink absorption prevents colors from fading, and the designs endure over time, creating standout pieces of clothing, home decor, and customized promotional items.

Quality lies in sublimation paper and more
decal® Winner papers take center stage when it comes to discussing quality in sublimation printing. However, there are other elements where the right investment is crucial, such as a sublimation printer, ink, and heat press. Opting for top-of-the-line equipment and using compatible inks makes all the difference in achieving exceptional prints.
