All about sublimation printers

Dedicated photo printers differ from all-purpose printers as they are designed to print photos only instead of text or graphics, photos and more. In general, compact and lightweight, and some models even feature batteries that allow you to print without an outlet.

Most photo printers, including thermal dye sublimation (or sublimation) printers, are built about engine thermal dye, but there is little that the functionality of the inkjet technology.

For many years, printers dye sublimation devices have been used in demanding specialized photo printing applications. Most advent of digital photography has led to the entry of this technology into the mainstream, forming the basis of standalone printers, portable photo that appeared in the second half of 1990.

The term "dye" in the name refers to solid colors used in the process instead of ink or toner. "Sublimation" is the scientific term for a process in solids (in this case, dyes) are converted to gaseous state without going through an intermediate liquid phase.

The printing process used by the dye-sublimation printer is different from that of inkjet printers truth. Instead of spraying tiny jets ink on a page as ink jet printers, sublimation printers apply a dye from a plastic film.

A three-step (with solid colors as bands on a tape or a roll) layers cyan, magenta, yellow and black on the top of each. The print head in a dye sublimation printer uses heat to vaporize the small dye, which permeates the glossy surface of the paper.

A clear coat is added to protect the print-ray ultraviolet. Although this method is capable of producing excellent results, is far from economy. Even if a particular image does not have one of the pigments, this segment of the tape is consumed.

This is why it is common for the role of sublimation printer that supports packets containing a film transfer can produce the same number of impressions. In addition, The dye-sublimation inks need a document that allows the ink to remain on the surface paper.

Today, a number of inkjet printers on the market are able to implement techniques of sublimation. Inkjet ink cover such a band page at a time. The print head heats the ink to form a gas, controlled by a heater that reaches temperatures of up to 500 ° C (above the average sublimation printer).

A large difference in the results with the technique of sublimation Heat is only because colors are applied to paper in the form of gas, which are not different points with a hard object, such as inkjet printers. In contrast, the edges are softer and melt one to another with ease. Moreover, the infusion of contrast medium gas in this document is more destinations.
