When we use different fabrics and ink, we also need different digital printers. Today we will introduce you the difference between thermal sublimation printer and digital printer.

The structure of thermal sublimation printer and digital printing machine is different. Heat transfer printing machine includes a printer and a roller machine while digital printing machine includes a belt guide digital printing machine and a tunnel oven.

In addition, the major roles of two kinds of printers are also different. Thermal sublimation technology is developed to achieve photo quality output. It can achieve better effect in the photo output speed and tone continuity. In contrast, digital printing is widely used and it can achieve flexible output of various patterns. At the same time, the media types of this printer are diverse, which can meet the various needs of users.

The ink these two kinds of printers use is different. Thermal sublimation printing machine uses thermal sublimation ink, with four colors yellow, red, blue and black, which is commonly known as CMYK. There is no white ink when using this machine, so you can only print patterns on light-colored materials to make products such as soccer shirts. Digital printing machine uses textile ink, usually yellow, red, blue, black four colors, but it can also use white ink. However, nowadays the cost of white ink is a little high.

When it comes to the materials, different use can also be found. Thermal sublimation printing machine mainly prints polyester fabrics while digital printing machine mainly prints natural fabrics including cotton or fibers of animals and plants. Nevertheless, after loading thermal sublimation ink, digital printing machine can also print polyester fabrics, but it needs to add pre-treatment liquid, otherwise the color on the fabrics will be blurred.

The above points are the difference between thermal sublimation printer and digital printing machine, whether the printing fabric or the use of ink, using which kind of machine mainly depends on the needs of customers. Ningbo Haishu Colorido Digital Technology Co., Ltd. remains committed to digital printing production, which can meet the personalized requirements of customers, printing diverse patterns on different colors of materials.
