As sublimation printing technology has matured, some sublimation paper brands have hit the low-price strategy to attract consumers in the face of fierce competition in the market. However, behind the low price often hides a huge hidden danger in quality. It should be noted that low price is not equal to affordable, we should pay more attention to the quality and performance of the product while pursuing the price advantage.

  For profit, some unscrupulous merchants use inferior recycled paper, newsprint, kraft paper, etc. as the paper base to manufacture sublimation paper. These seemingly “cheap” products may actually cause great harm to users. 

  Undoubtedly, newsprint, kraft paper, and other paper-based materials are not suitable for sublimation paper. This is because these paper-based materials have various defects, and their ink absorption, ductility, and transfer performance simply cannot meet the needs of high-quality printing.

 Admittedly, there’s no question about the purpose of being environmentally friendly and sustainable. This is the direction in which the printing industry is heading. However, it is not wise to compromise production quality by choosing low-quality printing consumables as a result.

 The surface quality of the transfer paper is closely related to the user’s ink, print data settings and parameter settings of the transfer machine. If the surface quality of the sublimation paper fluctuations or constant change will force the end user to follow the adjustment, such as the original color calibration needs to be redone, the original has been provided to the customer’s printing samples can not be reproduced and can only be redone and so on.

 The quality of the sublimation paper largely determines the quality of the printed pattern. Before purchasing a sublimation paper, we should do sufficient tests to identify the quality of the sublimation paper to ensure that it meets our production needs and quality standards.
