Sublimation Aluminum Sheet: A Comprehensive Guide to Quality and Versatility in Printing

The aluminum sublimation plate is mainly made of high-grade aluminum alloy. Through the transfer process (heating and pressurizing), the beautiful patterns on the transfer film are transferred to the aluminum surface. After forming, the ink layer and the product surface are integrated, which is lifelike and beautiful, greatly improving the product grade.Quick Quote

As a decorative material, aluminum metal sublimation plate has good durability and fire resistance, and can realize various complex shapes, with lifelike appearance and strong plasticity. It is widely used in furniture, doors and windows, curtain walls, buildings, transportation, etc.

How to Print on Sublimation Aluminum Sheet?

1. Materials Preparation

  • Sublimation inkjet printer
  • Sublimation paper
  • Heat-resistant tape
  • Flat heat press

2. Printing Process

Design the artwork: Use design software such as Adobe Photoshop or CorelDRAW to create the artwork. Ensure the design fits the size of the aluminum sheet, and for solid color backgrounds, leave a 2mm bleed to avoid blank edges.

Prepare the aluminum sheet: The Sublimation Aluminum Sheet typically comes with a protective coating. Carefully peel off this coating, and make sure the printable side is facing up on a flat workspace.

Heat press printing: Secure the transfer paper and Sublimation Aluminum Sheet together using heat-resistant tape. Follow the recommended heat press settings (e.g., 200°C for 30-70 seconds). After pressing, carefully remove the sheet, allow it to cool, and then peel off the transfer paper.

3. Heat Press Settings & Tips

The heat press settings for Sublimation Aluminum Sheets may vary depending on the thickness. Typical settings range from 185°C to 200°C, with pressing times from 30 to 70 seconds. Ensure the metal surface is face down on the heat press base to allow even heat distribution, ensuring high-quality results.

4. Common Issues & Solutions

Dull colors: You may need to increase the press temperature or extend the press time.

Blurry or faded image: Check the pressure setting on the heat press, or verify that the transfer paper is being applied correctly.

Incorrect colors: Convert the image to RGB mode if spot colors are used.

Other sublimation processes you might be interested in?

There are three transfer processes: heat transfer printing, water transfer printing, and water drape transfer.

Heat transfer printing

The heat transfer printing process is a process of transferring the patterns on the heat transfer film to the aluminum plate surface by one-time heating of the heat transfer film to form a decorative facial mask. The aluminum plate surface shall be treated by powder spraying, electrophoresis, etc.

According to the different transfer media of the heat transfer film, it can be divided into heat transfer film (PET) and heat transfer paper.

When the heat transfer film is used, the product surface is generally required to be flat or regular curved surface, and the use of heat transfer paper is not subject to this restriction. Therefore, heat transfer paper is generally used for heat transfer of irregular profiled aluminum plates. It is the most conventional transfer method for aluminum plate.

Water transfer printing

Water transfer printing is the process of transferring the images and texts on the transfer paper to the surface of the substrate completely. It is applicable to the transfer of patterns, text information, etc. It is very similar to the heat transfer process, but the transfer pressure is based on the water pressure.

It is a popular water transfer technology recently. The investment cost is low, and the production process is relatively simple. It is very popular with users. The water mark transfer printing process needs no activator activation, and avoids the pollution of organic solvents. It has obvious advantages in making handicrafts and decorations.

Water transfer printing

Not only aluminum plates, but also plastics, ceramics, etc. can be used as the carrier of watermark transfer printing, and the texture of transfer printing is also very diverse.

Water drape transfer

It refers to decorating all surfaces of objects, covering the true colors of the substrate, and printing patterns on the entire object surface (or three-dimensional), which can transfer complete patterns.
