Label transfer printing common types and their advantages

A common label transfer printing type
Label transfer printing is the use of physical and chemical methods to transfer printing patterns and colors onto substrates. Common label transfer printing methods are as follows.

1. Scrap transfer printing

It is mainly applied to hard and smooth materials such as paper, wood, and plastics. It is used in graphic design, photo albums, toy stickers, scraping music, transfer printing paper, etc. When using, remove the surface of the finished product from the label, place the pattern at the position where the printing is to be transferred, and use the nail or wood to wipe the surface of the pressure-sensitive film evenly. Tear the packaging machine'target=_blank>transparent film. Text transfer.

2. Reverse pressure transfer printing

Reverse pressure-sensitive transfer printing labels are classified into three types: solvent-resistant, scratch-resistant, and baking-resistant. Solvent-based solvent-resistant scrub; scratch-resistant grinding can be done without any treatment after transfer printing, can have good adhesion and scratch-resistant grinding effect, but to avoid scratching hard objects; high temperature baking type can be in the transfer printing After the baking treatment, it is also possible to directly perform the baking treatment without spraying the oil. Pressure-sensitive transfer printing labels are suitable for hard materials such as metal, plastic, and synthetic materials, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, water heater housings, fishing rods, clubs, bicycles, and other surface decorations. When using, simply peel the protective film, apply it to the transfer position, and evenly press and tear the bottom paper to complete the pattern transfer.

3. Water transfer printing

Can be divided into reverse water transfer printing labels (B, C transfer printing labels), soluble forward water transfer printing labels, strippable type forward water transfer printing labels. The characteristics of water transfer printing labels are beautifully printed, colorful, suitable for a wide range of materials, strong and beautiful labels, and not easy to change color, especially for irregular surfaces. Since the graphic film layer of the water transfer printing label has a certain toughness, when the moisture under the layer is scraped, it is important to wipe the edge while keeping the pattern flat on the irregular surface. After the film is fully dried, it can be sprayed with varnish and baked, but it must be fully dried. Otherwise, bubbles will appear after baking, resulting in waste products.

4. Thermal transfer printing

Thermal transfer printing is to print a pattern on a special transfer paper or transfer film first, and then transfer printing to the substrate, mostly for ceramic decal printing, textile printing, product label printing, and the like.

Second, the advantages of label thermal transfer printing

In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, thermal transfer technology has also undergone rapid development. The main feature of thermal transfer is that the transfer image is vivid and colorful, and its effect is not only comparable to ordinary printing, but also thermal transfer printing. Under high temperature, the thermal transfer ink can be sublimated by heat and penetrate into the surface of the object to form a bright and colorful image. Therefore, the heat transfer products are durable and the images will not fall off, crack and fade. The thermal transfer application has a wide range of applications, from fabric printing to surface printing of ceramics, metal, glass and other crafts, various labels, barcodes, and stickers printing, especially in the area of ​​label printing.

To sum up, label thermal transfer printing has many advantages:

(1) A small amount of diverse printing, no waste, even if only one can be printed;

(2)Using the advantage of bar code, with the use of a scanning gun, can reduce manual processing time and reduce costs;

(3) Various graphics can be printed as required, in particular, the company's logo and the certification passed;

(4) Print serial number, track product;

(5) It can connect company database data and quickly extract data for printing;

(6) It can be used on the production line to track the production of the product at any time and avoid surplus material;

(7) It can be used in warehouse management to keep abreast of the latest inventory;

(8) Can print tickets or various tickets, fast, high quality;

(9) According to the need, choose a high temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant or sticky label printing;

(10) Fast print speed, up to 15cm/s;

(11) Can be cut immediately after printing, which is ideal for ticketing;

(12) Computer editing, printing contents and printing effects are no less favourable than printing;

(13) Using the system integration solution, using bar code labels as a medium, comprehensively upgrade management systems such as procurement, production, warehousing, logistics, and sales. With the maturity and popularity of label printing technology, thermal transfer printers and consumables have all undergone substantial price reductions. The cost of thermal transfer printing for labels has dropped to the cost of ordinary printing, greatly enhancing the competitiveness of thermal transfer of labels.
