Notice! Three Factors Pushing Dye Sublimation Printing Market

Hi~ Nice to see you again, my dear friends. Today's topic is about the factors of pushing dye sublimation printing market. The increase in dye sublimation printing is part of the broader rise of digital inkjet systems in the textile trade.In its new report, Fei Yue Paper tracks the increased use of this technology across key end-use segments – signage, technical, household, and garments. The data shows strong year-on-year growth in the amount of material printed – 18.4% – across the next five years.

As the dye sublimation market booms it will create numerous opportunities for ink and textile suppliers, press builders, and partners across the value chain. There are three factors pushing dye sublimation printing market!

Garments – The dominant end-use
Using sublimation of dyes is a different process to printing with inks on either other digital or analogue presses. The process sublimates the dye at temperature into a gas that penetrates and permanently bonds inside the fibres of the textile. This gives a high-resolution, permanent coloration that will not peel or crack. For this reason haute couture, and the top end of high street fashion were among the first to exploit this technology.

Greater use of the technology will be aided by the fashion industry itself transforming with the arrival of internet shopping and fast-fashion.
Retailers and brands are increasingly running a greater number of collections in each calendar year; this is made much easier with digital textile printing as it allows quicker turnaround and response to orders, allowing a shift to repeated short runs that minimise stock holdings, and unsold leftovers. Dye sublimation and similar digital platforms allow the supply chain to be shortened and made more flexible, with some manufacturing moving close to the retailers.

New machines – Productivity demands
The increase demand for dye sublimation print is driving the development of larger presses, these will help transform the value proposition of dye sublimation prints from samples and short runs to let it challenge analogue processes, like screen and gravure, in longer bulk production runs of multiple thousands of linear metres. This is stimulating the building of a new generation of industrial high-end machines capable of single-pass printing.
For visual communications, the number of requested applications of dye sublimation products is growing, but the technology is not today developing fast enough to accommodate all client requirements.

Sublimation inks – a threat
Despite the overall positive outlook for dye sublimation, as a process it is limited to use with synthetic or synthetic-coated materials – overwhelmingly polyester – by the need to bind the dyes into the internal fibres.
In the future dye sublimation systems may face competition from pigment inks if their suppliers can resolve quality, reliability and other issues. Pigments have greater substrate flexibility, significantly this includes natural substrates, like cotton.
This combined with their simplicity of processing and the tactility of the printed textile will enable pigment inks to grow, if the print process can become reliable enough at production scale.

Okay, these all above are my share about the factors of pushing sublimation transfer printing market. If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time.
