Journey into the World of Sublimation Plotter Printers

Have you ever heard of a sublimation plotter printer? Although its name might make it sound very complex, it is, at the core, an exciting device that can help you create and print different designs on various surfaces. Would you like to find out more about it? Let’s explore this technology in detail! Definition of a Sublimation Plotter Printer A sublimation plotter printer is a machine which uses a special type of ink to transfer colourful designs to surfaces made of polyester, ceramics, and other materials. Special ink, when heated, turns into a type of gas and firmly attaches itself to the material. These printers are available in various sizes, from small ones for home use to large ones for industrial use, where you can print enormous banners. How a Sublimation Plotter Printer Works While using a sublimation plotter printer might help you unlock your creativity, the process starts when you design the pattern on a computer using particular software. Once you are happy with your creation, print it on transfer paper with the sublimation ink. Next, place the paper on the surface you have in mind with the printed side facing down. Using a heat press or a similar tool, apply heat and pressure to the paper. Due to the heat, the ink will be transformed into gas and firmly attach to the material below the paper. Remove the transfer paper to admire your creation!

Advantages and Considerations

The great benefit of a sublimation plotter printer is clear, quality and durability in the prints that it produces. They are timeless and have the ability to never dull or lose its vibrancy over time. Nonetheless, sublimation ink will not work on 100% cotton products as well so there is limited surfaces you can print directly onto. Moreover, such printers can get up on the cost so proper thought must definitely be given before buying any one of them.
