How to Solve The Ghost When Doing Sublimation Transfer ?
In the sublimation transfer process, There are always many problems. One of the most common problem is the ghosting on the transferred fabric. This problem is very serious, it can directly influence your final effect. So in order to help you avoid this phenomenon. The Phantom occurs when its role of sublimation with the impression, moves when pressing or lifting the plate, causing a double image on the transfer, one weaker than the other.
Sublimation Ink
Sublimation inks are extremely sensitive to heat and if the heat press rises too quickly it can cause the image to move slightly and then fall again leaving what appears to be a ghost image … almost like a double exposure. Until recently, the solution to this problem was to attach the image to the object with heat- resistant adhesive tapes and to open the press slowly; This procedure lengthens the process and delays you, but eliminates the risk of getting the phantom in your clothes and ruin your production.
Sublimation Paper
Now you can sublimate without worry with the sublimation transfer paper “Tacky Adhesive Sublimation Paper”, printing paper designed exclusively for sublimation transfer applications of garments. The surface of the paper has a super uniform coating of adhesive that is activated during the transfer process which allows the paper to be held in position without movement.
Heat transfer Machine
After the attention of the sublimation paper and ink the last one is the heat transfer machine. Must take a good control of the temperature and time. If the temperature is too high or the time is too long your pattern will also be destroyed. Then when we lift the transfer machine up, it creates some vacuum and drop the image back down. When that happens, it shifts the media and causing the ink to transfer to another areas. So take care of this when you take up your heat transfer machine.
