Principle and classification of thermal transfer printing technology
Principles and classification of personalized image thermal transfer technology
At present, there are nearly 1,000 enterprises producing heat transfer machine equipment in China, but only a few dozen enterprises have productive capacity in practice. Originally, this device has no special technical secrets, because it is linked to transfer printing, and is suitable for opening stores to make personality images, so it was deliberately covered with a layer of mist.
As for what generations of equipment, most of them are the changes made by manufacturers in order to reduce costs or change device suppliers. The performance improvement is not necessarily absent, but it has nothing to do with the names of the generations of equipment. So if a company says that the equipment of the 6th generation must be better than that of the 1st generation, it has no practical significance. It is more accurate to say that the idea of selling is not directly related to the technology and user's application effect.
Next, I will give you a comprehensive introduction of the basic knowledge of the technical equipment of the heat transfer press (the tablet products introduced, excluding industrial tablets, that is, tablets with a flat area not exceeding 40*60 cm).
I. Basic Principles of equipment
1. According to the principle of thermal sublimation transfer printing, each thermal transfer printing equipment is a heater of different shape. The temperature of the heater is controlled within a range by an additional temperature controller. At the same time, in order to facilitate the manipulation of sublimation transfer time, plus a time controller, when the set time is reached, lighter equipment will remind users.
2. In terms of circuit principle, heat transfer equipment is a temperature controller and time controller to control an electrothermal device. Temperature and time can be pre-set. The temperature of the electrothermal device is stable at the set value, and the time will automatically disconnect the power supply after reaching the set value. Of course, this heater is based on the transfer of different products, and made into cylindrical, square plane, circular, circular and other shapes, in order to transfer different products.
Two. Classification of equipment
1. According to the different products of transfer printing, they are divided into Hatter machine, baking dish machine, cup machine and flat plate machine (as for surface transfer printing machine and universal transfer printing machine, there is no substantial difference, in fact, it is oven, which is the name of artificial bravado, so I will not introduce it here).
2, according to the time and temperature control mode: divided into analog operation, half digital manipulation, double digit manipulation;
3. In the meantime, because the tablet machine is the most widely used and widely used, not only for personal transfer printing, but also for garment factories, gift factories and hot-stamping professions, it is widely used, so the tablet machine is manufactured in addition to a variety of structures to meet different needs. It can also be divided into: general direct pressing plate machine, high pressure direct pressing plate machine, general shaking head machine (because the pressure is not high, the cost is high, not practical and rare), Korean shaking head machine (using bias bearings, the pressure can be very high when transfer printing).
4. In addition, that is, multi-in-one transfer equipment, the common three-in-one (flat plate, baking cup, baking tray), four-in-one (flat plate, baking cup, baking tray, baking cap), and more in-one equipment, such as 9-in-1, or even 12-in-1, often flashy. For example, add a different diameter baking cup mat, and even add a set of pressing breastplates, and also add an ultraviolet lamp tube to solidify the crystal. However, in practice, too many oneness is very inconvenient in application. Generally, the multi-in-one machine has advantages when the rent is very expensive and the area is limited. If it is not the area limit, the multi-in-one machine, when transferring different products, is quite troublesome because of the repeated replacement of parts.
