InkTec's High quality manufacturing standards mean no head clogging, the particlulate size of dispersive dyes is under 100nm (0.1um) and the use of high-class dyes to keep their colour shade in harsh conditions. SubliNova Smart inks have superior printing quality under a wide variety of printing environments.
InkTec have been developing and supplying dye sublimation, water-based dye & pigment, solvent, eco solvent, mild solvent, and oil inks for over 20 Years. Maintaining the strictest quality control systems.
Based on the inkjet technology used in everything from regular office printers to printers for outdoors. With our systems, cutting-edge analysis instruments and experimental apparatus. All products are developed for accurate compatibility and highest possible quality comparable with the products supplied by the printer manufacturers. Not only do InkTec hold many ink technology patents, we have precise knowledge on printer structures and so provide a better quality than other manufacturers who may use lower-priced raw material and more simple formulations. InkTec develops and manufactures various inks, such as sublimation ink for textile printing and soft signage market, water-based dye & pigment, solvent, eco solvent, mild solvent and oil ink.
Total solutions for actual image printing, from inks, media, parts.
Sublimation Ink SubliNova, InkTec’s dye sublimation ink that presents the highest printing quality, developed from many years’ of knowledge of ink research, cutting-edge equipment and technology.
The dispersed dye in the ink is evenly distributed and enables rich color expression, and the ink fluidity is excellent to enable stable printing ability in different environments. SubliNova sublimation ink uses harmless environmentally-friendly dyes, and has been certified as environmentally friendly by an International test agency.
SubliNova HI-liTE achieves Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex® Association. This means that it has no harmful effects on human health or on the environment. InkTec's Direct Textile / Heat Transfer ink has been developed on the base of the 12 year ink development know-how, and InkTec has supplied the suitable ink to the large-format printer applying the technology possessed. The Ink has been formulated to make images transfer well by using heat and pressure, that the colour on the substrates can be deep and brilliant. For smooth ink flow without head clogging, moreover, we make particle size of dispersive dyes smaller under 100nm (0.1um) and use high quality dyes in light-resistance grade to keep the colour. Now, you can get long lasting head and colour.

Do you want to print on hard surfaces such as porcelain mugs, plastic plates then Dye Sublimation printing is the answer!

Dye Sublimation is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.

Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fibre board, metals, etc. require a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. You must purchase the mugs, tiles, metals, etc. with the coating already on them, it is not something you can coat yourself. When you apply to 100% polyester (e.g mouse mats) you do not need any coating, it is applied directly to the 100% polyester fabric.

You can purchase dye sublimation ink recommended only for Piezo Head technology used in Epson / Mimaki / Mutoh ink jet printers to do sublimation printing. Epson do not supply the printers with these specialty sublimation inks but by installing a Bulk Feed system, or refillable cartridges, for example you can use the sublimation inks - these you can readilly buy from many specialist ink suppliers. You may also need the heat transfer paper that you would need to print with these inks. The heat transfer paper for sublimation printing has a coating on it. This is so the inks do not soak into the paper. After you print the transfer paper it is then placed on the product to be applied with a heat press.

Dye sublimation is a process that uses a special heat sensitive dye to print graphics and text onto paper. This is called a transfer. The paper is then placed on a sublimatible item and both are placed into a heat press for about 20~45 seconds at 180-230 degrees.

When the cycle (sublimation) is completed, the image on the paper has transferred to the item and has actually become a part of the surface. If you run your finger across the surface of a sublimated plate you will feel nothing.
The reason for this is that sublimation is always done on a polyester, polymer, or polymer coated item. At high temperatures, the solid dye converts into a gas without ever becoming a liquid. The same high temperature opens the pores of the polymer and allows the gas to enter. When the temperature drops, the pores close and the gas reverts to a solid state. It has now become a part of the polymer.

For this reason, true dye sublimation cannot be done on natural materials, like 100% cotton. Natural fibers and non-coated materials have no "pores" to open.
Inkjet printers use a liquid filled inkjet cartridge that has a suspension of the dye in it and requires transfers to be printed on special coated inkjet paper. The printer should be dedicated to sublimation, as the cartridges cannot be easily or cheaply switched with regular cartridges, for regular document printing.

Dye Sublimation Inks

Dye Sublimation Ink has been used in printing on the materials as Mug, Tile, Wood, Polyester, Nylon, Plastic, etc that are impossible with normal digital printing.
After printing an image on the transfer paper, it is then transferred using the high pressures and temperatures

Characteristics

Dye Sublimation Inks have the characteristics of dyes. It is different with digital printer inks. The brilliance and clearness of an image has been influenced by sublimation of the ink. Sublimation's ink can be realize the customer's needs that get more brilliance and clearness colour by even sublimation of all colour on the wide range of the temperature about from 160°C to 180°C compared with existing dye sublimation ink.

It is possible to transfer with a temperature as low as 160°C and can be applied to all kinds of materials. Also Dye Sublimation solves the problem of precipitation that existing dye sublimation has and InkTec Heat Transfer ink has durability and there is no appearance of spreading on the materials. Also, it is excellent for colour brightness and exposure and there is no difference of the tone of colour compare with general inkjet cartridge

PLEASE NOTE:-
You can switch your printer back to using regular inks at any time. However, it is not practical to switch back and forth. If you are setting up a Dye Sublimation Printing System you should not expect to use the same printer for other purposes.
