Color evaluation of thermal transfer printing
As people’s material living standards continue to improve, the pursuit of a comfortable and elegant home environment has become a fashion. The increasing diversity and individuality of home decoration requires more colourful decorative fabrics, and heat transfer printing products can meet this demand. The introduction of printing to the textile industry has played a very important role. Heat transfer printing is an extension of printing technology in the textile industry. The uneven surface of the fabric, with its numerous pores, makes it difficult to achieve a high level of detail compared to paper printing. Heat transfer printing is therefore a process whereby ink is printed on paper and the fabric is then subjected to a certain temperature and pressure and the dye on the paper is pressurised, heated and sublimated to transfer the pattern from the paper to the fabric. This is a revolutionary change in the textile industry, reducing costs, saving energy and achieving a green, low-carbon production process.
