Hot stamping technology is widely used in the printing industry, clothing hot stamping and metal photos are also the use of hot painting, hot painting technology is easy to learn and difficult to refine, because of lack of understanding and misunderstanding.
The hot painting theory is actually very simple: output the image on transfer paper, and then transfer it to different materials at the appropriate temperature and pressure, it is simple but it is not! Many hot painting shops have a high failure rate, and they have not been able to find the reason, and the damaged ones are kept for use, but after a long period of operation, they may be able to open a "T-shirt printing failure exhibition".
Hot stamping to be printed locally is very simple, but a large area and very uniform and does not fall off depends on the technology, hot stamping transfer interface is very important, that is, the processing technology of hot stamping paper, the temperature is too low to attach, the temperature is too high will be pattern halo or burnt. And some hot stamping shops bought more than 1,000 yuan of hot stamping machine, has been printing uneven or unstable quality, in fact, the heat transfer heating system is different, is the temperature uniform? Is the pressure just right? Concerned with the quality of hot stamping, a good hot painting machine can solve the problem of different pressure and material thickness at one time.
From the above we can see that you get what you pay for, "Workers want to do good things. The most important thing is, of course, the use, printing calendars, T-shirts, hanging scrolls, hanging bags, medals, gold and silver carved photos, tiles, glass, wood grain logs..., is to print everything, earn everything, where to print, where to use to earn that reason!

(2) The problem of inkjet printing paper, some inkjet printing paper can not completely transfer the image, you can choose inkjet printing paper with special coating;
(3) The relationship between the temperature and time of the transfer, which is a matter of operation skills. If the time is too short, the temperature is not enough, and the ink transfer is not sufficient, it is also the main reason for the color light;
(4) The choice of T-shirt fabric, if transferred on the pure cotton fabric, the color is relatively light, which is determined by the degree of adsorption of the fabric to the ink, and the color is very bright if the transfer is printed on the chemical fiber fabric.
