Are you printing large designs on apparel? Smaller items, such as coasters, cellphone covers, flip flops, bag tags and plaques? Full-color graphics? High-definition photography? The answers to these questions will have a significant impact on your choice.
Other key factors to consider when choosing a sublimation printer are printing-field size, number of ink colors, and printing speed and cost.
Sublimation printers size:
Narrow Format inkjet printer: These freestanding, commercial-grade units print onto rolls of paper ranging from 24-44 inches wide. They are ideal for growing businesses that need to generate larger images or higher-volume production.
Wide Format inkjet printer: These freestanding, industrial-grade units print onto rolls of paper measuring 44-104 inches wide. They are ideal for production facilities with specialized needs such as textile printing, trade-show banners, allover garments, etc.
Inkjet printers generate hundreds of thousands of output colors by mixing a select number of base ink colors. Most printers are four-color units with base ink colors of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK).
Other printer models are available with eight base colors. Examples of additional base colors include: light cyan, light magenta, red, orange, blue, etc. Eight-color systems present options for different ink sets to be used in different applications.
For example, if you want to focus on high-resolution photographs, buy an ink set specifically designed for delivering top-quality photographic images for sublimation. If you want to produce fluorescent colors, use an ink set designed for that application.
For most sublimators, a four-color printer will produce vibrant graphics, stunning colors and high-resolution photography. However, for fine art or photographic work — where subtle shades of color make a big difference — an eight-color printer may be more ideal.
Printing Speed
Specialy sublimation ink sets exist for operations focusing primarily on graphics and color matching.
Graphics often require expanded gamuts that deliver a more unique set of ink colors. For example, oranges and reds can be difficult to accurately match with standard CMYK printing. In addition, some blues and purples are on the outer fringes of the true CMYK gamut.
In the case of an eight-color set, the two light black inks are replaced with fluorescent pink and fluorescent yellow. This enables users to add a wide range of fluorescent spot colors to images or produce completely fluorescent images for special effects that are not possible with a CMYK-only solution. It also opens the door to a variety of special applications, such as promotional, safety and high-visibility products.
These specialty sublimation inks are examples of how technology within the decorating discipline continues to expand. Though not every ink is available for every printer, stay abreast of what your suppliers offer.
If you want to purchase new sublimation equipment, look beyond the image size and print speed, and focus on the available ink sets and how they can benefit your operation. More color options yield more sublimation opportunities, which lead to increased profitability and business growth.
