Do you Know What Makes A Dye-Sublimation Transfer Printer Tick?

Hello, nice to see you. To day is cloudy in Nanjing. Today's topic is about Dye-Sublimation Transfer Printer, the inkjet printer is like any other piece of equipment. You must take care of it and maintain it in the proper environment, so that it works at its very best. If you don’t, just like other equipment, a sublimation printer can be frustrating. And sometimes sublimation printer appear ticks, do you know what happen to it?

And you do need to know what to do to take care of your equipment and not everyone is given this information, so I am going to tell you what makes a sublimation printer tick!

WHAT MAKES A SUBLIMATION PRINTER TICKS?

To take care of an inkjet sublimation printer, first we need to know some basics of how it works. First of all, in sublimation we use Epson inkjet printers. The reason for this is that Epson printers use a“cold” technology to spray the ink onto the paper. This technology is called Piezo head technology which is patented by Epson.

The epson print head has a small crystal that vibrates when stimulated with an electrical charge, and this forces the ink out of the print head nozzles. Since sublimation dyes are heat activated, it is perfect for the sublimation process. Other inkjet printers use heat to “boil” the ink onto the paper. This would not work so well for the sublimation process because the dyes would be activated before we wanted them to.
There are basically two ways to deliver ink to a printer, either cartridges (including refillable), or an external bulk ink delivery system. These cartridges work well, but they are very low capacity, and not very cost effective, so a bulk ink system is preferred.

With a bulk ink system, the ink is contained in bags. The ink feeds through tubing,
up to damper cartridges that install where regular cartridges would be. The bulk system works as a siphon system that is at equilibrium. That is why it is important to keep the container with the ink on the same level as the printer. If you put it higher, the ink could start siphoning into the printer, and if it is lower, the ink will run back into the bags. Either outcome can cause serious problems.

Occasionally with bulk systems, a damper cartridge may lose its prime. Your ink bag may have run empty or the hose may have kinked, cutting off the free flow of liquid. The system loses it prime and will not pull ink through to the print heads. When this happens, a printer cleaning cycle (done through your printer driver) may correct the problem. If not, you need to re-prime that damper cartridge.

Okay, These all above are my share about what makes inkjet sublimation printer ticks. If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.
