Discussion on Application of Chemical Fiber Transfer Printing Process

Faced with colorful and dazzling array of daily necessities, we are pleasantly surprised to see that special printing technologies have been widely used in people's daily lives. Plastic prints, tinplate prints, hose prints, decal prints, and electrochemical foil hot embossed products abound. Today, on the bustling streets, a series of inkjet prints and laser holographic printing made into a three-dimensional image suspended in space shows that printing technology has added luster to people's wonderful lives.
Compared with this, the chemical fiber transfer printing process with many advantages is still lagging behind and it is urgent to develop its products. This article discusses the development and application prospects of the chemical fiber transfer printing process as follows.
Advantages and Applications of Transfer Printing Process Transfer printing is a kind of dry printing and dyeing. It prints the printing paper through a printing plant and transfers it directly to a printing and dyeing factory. Therefore, many procedures of printing and dyeing can be avoided. At the same time, compared with ordinary dyeing and chemical fiber fabrics, the large amount of waste water generated during the printing and dyeing process and serious environmental pollution are avoided. This is undoubtedly a big advantage for the current global water crisis and the control of environmental pollution.
In practice, the author once participated in several chemical fiber transfer printing works completed by colleagues in the printing industry.
The first is: a 75 cm × 75 cm white chemical fiber tablecloth, the heat transfer of the bright red peony up, the four sides of the table cloth with a small pattern, the finished product, the pattern is clear, bright color, dazzling.
Another successful work is: a four-screen portrait of a lady. Among them, red, yellow, blue, green, black, various colors are structured, colors are eye-catching, and the figures on the fabric are vivid. The colors are almost the same as the originals, and they are praised by their peers.
In the actual printing process of printing paper, we should pay attention to grasping that the ink should not infiltrate into the interior of the paper, but must be firmly attached to the paper surface and must be fast-drying. In this way, the ink on the graphic can be completely transferred to the chemical fiber fabric during the heat transfer, so as to keep it bright and beautiful.
In the transfer, we should control the pressure and temperature. In general, the temperature during the transfer can be controlled at 150 °C ~ 200 °C, do not be too high or too low, or directly affect the transfer effect. The temperature is too high, chemical fiber fabrics can not afford, hard texture, brittle, feel rough; low temperature, poor dye transfer sublimation rate, lack of hue, can not reach the original color requirements, resulting in transfer is not in place. In addition, we must pay attention to the rapid drying after transfer, so that it can be firmly attached to chemical fiber fabrics, and can do soaping, rubbing, dry cleaning with a variety of solvents.
In this regard, it is emphasized that the choice of printing ink is also crucial, and the ink formulated with strict selection of the dye type is directly related to the quality of the printing paper, and also relates to whether the transfer printing process can achieve a satisfactory transfer effect.
The development prospect of the transfer printing process The transfer printing process is a combination of printing and printing and dyeing industry. Because the product can produce colorful, distinct, and vivid images, it is popular among people. Therefore, the development of transfer printing process products brings about broad prospects for the development of the prosperous decoration industry and tourism products.
With the improvement of people's material living standards, the pursuit of noble leisure entertainment and comfortable and elegant environment, the transfer of printing products with colorful patterns and colors just right to express this atmosphere. Home decoration is increasingly diversified, and personalization also requires more decorative fabrics with bright colors. The chemical fiber transfer printing technology products are used to create a warm family atmosphere for people and beautify the living environment.
The tourism industry, which is known as the “Chaoyang Industry,” drives the development of tourist products and souvenirs. It is a good example that ancient and traditional folk crafts can be infiltrated in the “Batik” crafts with ethnic customs in the southwest. Nowadays, in the development of tourism products, chemical fiber transfer printing technology uses unique materials. A novel heat transfer process will surely produce brilliant and varied products. The Shandong printing industry colleagues located in Qilu Earth once used the transfer printing technology to design distinctive products at the tourism hotspots of “Yi Shan, Yi Shui, and a Saint”. The head of the Five Sacred Mountains, the majestic Taishan landscape, and the Confucian sanctuary. Confucius' portraits will attract domestic and foreign guests with unique images.
Chemical fiber transfer printing technology products are more suitable for women, children's products, it will attract more people with the pursuit of fashion and beauty with more variety of fabrics, chic and novel designs. With the continuous improvement and exploration of chemical fiber transfer printing technology, we believe that the types of transfer printing process products will become more and more novel and perfect, adding new colors to people's beautiful lives.
