What does water transfer printing mean?
Water transfer printing Water transfer printing technology Water transfer printing technology is a type of printing that uses water pressure to hydrolyze polymers on transfer paper/plastic films with colored patterns.
As people’s requirements for product packaging and decoration increase, water transfer printing is used more and more widely.
The principle of indirect printing and perfect printing effect solve the problem of many products. Surface decoration problem, mainly used for transfer printing of various types of ceramics, glass paper, etc.
1. Transfer objects to a wide range of decals.
1. Print ceramic decals.
It can be used for the patterns of various types of daily ceramics such as ceramic tableware and ceramic water vessels. It can also be used to print cellophane paper on waistlines, decorative tiles, decorative ceramics and other architectural tiles.
Can be used for glass water sets, glass bottles, advertising cups, various glass containers and decorative glass.
3. Print helmet decals.
Widely used for surface patterns on motorcycle helmets, hard hats, etc.
4. Decals for sporting goods.
Such as trademarks and logos on the surface of tennis rackets, fishing rods, etc.; 5. Decals on metal pipes.
Such as the patterns and text of bicycles and motorcycle pipe fittings. 6. Decals on the surface of toy car models; 7. Printed wooden decals; 8. Fashionable tattoo stickers; 9. Items that are difficult to print directly. Decal paper.★
Wide range of applications 1. Automobile supplies: instrument panels, control panels, paper towel trays, cup holders, tape holders, rearview mirror frames, handles, car locks, etc.; 2. Electronic products: Telephones, pagers, video recorders, stereos, remote controls, mice, clocks, keyboards, cameras, hair dryers, etc.; 3. Living supplies: sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, chandeliers, ashtrays, vases, decoration containers, etc.; 4. Daily use Premium products: luggage decorations, tableware handles, eye boxes, pens, pen holders, calendar holders, art photo frames, rackets, hair accessories, makeup pens, makeup boxes, etc.; 5
Indoor building materials: doors, windows, floors, 2. Water transfer printing process for wall panels, etc. Water transfer printing paper → soaking of flower paper → pattern transfer → drying → finished product 1. Water transfer printing paper.
After computer processing according to the required pattern, the negative is output to make a printing plate, and then various colored patterns are printed on the water transfer backing paper (specially treated paper does not need to be processed), and then the pattern is printed The cover oil is then printed on the bottom paper. Another method is to use a color laser printer to directly print the pattern on the water transfer bottom paper and then perform water transfer printing.
2. Soak the floral paper. Put the printed floral paper into the water, soak it for 30 seconds, take it out of the water, and wait until it can be transported. Be careful not to soak the paper for too long, otherwise the paper will dissolve Glue on the surface 3. Pattern transfer. First process the surface of the object to be pasted, then transfer the soaked flower paper to it, then scrape off the excess water and dry.
4. Dry. Place metal, ceramic, glass and other types of items in the oven at 140
Bake for 20
min;
Bake plastic items at 70℃ for 60 minutes;
Do not bake candles, helmets or tempered glass.
5. Finished product. Spray a layer of transparent varnish on the flower surface of the baked item, and dry it for 12 hours to permanently combine the flower surface with the decoration. If you do not do this project It is also possible, but the fastness is not good
★Water transfer printing technology (principle of water coating) There are two types of water transfer printing technology, one is watermark transfer technology and the other is water coating Overprinting technology.
The former mainly completes the transfer of text and photo patterns, while the latter tends to transfer completely on the entire product surface.
CubicTransfer technology uses a water-based film that is easily soluble in water to carry graphics and text.
Due to the excellent tension of the water-coated film, it can easily wrap around the surface of the product to form a graphic layer, giving the surface of the product a completely different appearance just like spray paint.
It can be coated on workpieces of any shape to solve the problem of three-dimensional product printing for manufacturers.
Curved surface draping can also add different textures to the surface of the product, such as leather texture, wood texture, jade texture, marble texture, etc. It can also avoid the empty spots that often appear in general layout printing.
And during the printing process, since the product surface does not need to be in contact with the printing film, damage to the product surface and its integrity can be avoided.
Water transfer printing uses a specially chemically treated film, which is printed with the desired color pattern and then flatly placed on the surface of the water. The color pattern is evenly transferred to the product using the action of water pressure. On the surface,
the coating will automatically dissolve in water. After cleaning and drying, a transparent protective coating will be applied. At this time, the product will have a completely different visual effect.
