100ml sublimation ink specifications include water-based dye composition, a range of colors (typically CMYK, sometimes with light cyan and light magenta), and compatibility with Epson L-series printers and other inkjet printers that support sublimation. The ink is designed for heat transfer onto polyester and poly-coated materials, offering vivid colors, high-quality prints, and good wash and light fastness.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Key Specifications:
Ink Type: Water-based dye sublimation ink.
Ink Capacity: 100ml per bottle.
Color Range: Typically CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), and may include Light Cyan and Light Magenta.
Printer Compatibility: Commonly used with Epson L-series printers (L800, L805, L1300, L1800, etc.) and other inkjet printers that support sublimation.
Material Compatibility: Primarily designed for sublimation onto polyester fabrics and poly-coated materials (mugs, tiles, etc.).
Heat Transfer Temperature: Generally requires temperatures between 180-195°C (356-383°F) for transfer.
Transfer Time: Transfer time varies depending on the material and press type, but typically ranges from 30-45 seconds.
Shelf Life: Typically around 12-24 months when stored properly in sealed bottles.
Other Features:
Excellent color vibrancy and high-quality printing.
Smooth printing with no clogging or bending.
Good wash and light fastness.
Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
Can be used for both direct and transfer printing.
Technical Details (from a specific formulation):
Viscosity: ~7-9 mPa·s
Static Surface Tension: 28-30 mN/m
Components (example): Vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polymeric amide, 2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate, N-butyl acetate, butan-2-OL, petroleum distillate, disperse and/or solvent dyes, propylene glycol, and acetates.
Important Considerations:
ICC Profiles: Sublimation inks often require ICC profiles for accurate color reproduction.
Dedicated Printers: It's recommended to use dedicated sublimation ink tank printers for best results and to avoid contamination.
Mixing Inks: Avoid mixing sublimation ink with regular inks.
