With the introduction of DGI-FT-II-1804 digital inkjet printer for transfer paper printing Apsom Technologies (India) Pvt Ltd, the dye-sublimation market has been redefined with new business impetuses. Various reasons and inherent problems arising out of non-standard inks, absence of degassing system in digital printing have restrained various projects. This was also subdued with high cost of paper and ink and the good quality heat transfer machine being not so easily available. At the same time direct printing on polyester has also been envisaged which again had similar problems apart from fabric movement and fabric pre-coating being the major concern.
The paper transfer technology truly offers some of the most important factors of vivid colours, detailing of design and environment friendly culture is reflected by use of this technology.
