A4 sublimation paper is typically 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches) in size and has a weight of around 100-125 gsm (grams per square meter). It's designed for use with sublimation printers and inks to transfer designs onto various substrates like polyester fabrics, mugs, and other coated items.
Key Specifications:
Size: A4 (210 x 297 mm or 8.3 x 11.7 inches).
Paper Weight: Typically 100-125 gsm (grams per square meter).
Ink Compatibility: Designed for use with sublimation inks.
Printer Compatibility: Compatible with most sublimation printers, often requiring settings like "Premium Presentation Paper Matte" or similar.
Substrate Compatibility: Primarily used for transferring designs onto polyester fabrics (65% or higher polyester content), coated ceramics, metals, and other sublimation-coated items.
Transfer Rate: High transfer rate (often 95% or higher) to ensure vibrant colors and reduce ink wastage.
Drying Speed: Fast drying to prevent smudging during handling and transfer.
Other Features: May include features like anti-curl, lay-flat properties, and a watermarked backing.
Important Considerations:
Polyester Content:
For optimal results, substrates should have a high polyester content (65% or higher for fabrics).
Sublimation Ink:
Sublimation paper requires the use of sublimation inks.
Printer Settings:
Adjusting printer settings (e.g., paper type, print quality, color settings) is crucial for achieving the desired transfer results.
Testing:
Always test on a sample substrate before a full production run, especially when working with new materials.
