Dye Sublimation digital inks are ink-jet printing inks especially designed to be used on digital printers having piezo printing heads. They are particularly suitable for digital dyeing printing on polyester textiles used in sports and outer wear, as well as for a variety of plastic substrates used in the manufacturing of skis, snowboards, skateboards, windsurfs and other products. The image is printed on coated paper and then transferred (heating temperature around 210°C) on polyester fabrics, or mixed synthetic fabrics containing polyester in a min. quantity of 60%.
For the application on plastic materials, such as nylon 11/12 cm., the transfer temperature varies according to the type of substrate and its chemical-physical characteristics. For instance, the plastic sheets used in skis and snowboards manufacturing are transferred at 170-180°C for 90/120 seconds.
