Technology and Development of Sublimation Printer

According to the data published on the websites of well-known and professional manufacturers in the industry, usually, the print head can achieve a printing speed of 150mm/s with good hardware design and software matching. Now a new type of printer has appeared on the market. Under the premise of ensuring the printing quality, the printing speed can reach 200mm/s. The reason is that the inclined print head is adopted and the entire hardware is optimized. This major innovation hopes to attract the attention of industry insiders, and it is an important breakthrough in the printing speed of the Sublimation Printer. Next, let's take a look at the technology and development of the Sublimation Printer in detail.

An explanation of the key technologies of the Sublimation Printer.

From the current actual design and use, it is known that one of the key components of the Sublimation Printer is the thermal print head, which is composed of many miniature heating elements. The heating elements use integrated circuit technology and photolithography technology and are processed on a ceramic substrate by physical and chemical methods of production. To prevent the heating element from being worn out too quickly, a protective film like the glass is applied to the surface of the print head. The print head matches the corresponding drive circuit, the heating element is energized to heat the dye on the dyed surface of the carbon ribbon into a melted and dispersed state, and then the drive motor drives the carbon ribbon to be sent between the print head and the rubber roller, so that the printing material and the dye close contact between the surfaces, resulting in a clear image on the substrate. The single chip MCU controls the temperature of the print head through voltage signals of different amplitudes according to the image information and then melts the dyeing material through the temperature of the print head. Therefore, the amount of melting of the dyeing material can be controlled through the control of voltage signals of different amplitudes, thus determining the printed handwriting contrast. The print head must be completely cooled before printing the next line. To avoid the effect of blurred handwriting and ghosting on the printing of the next line, the printing speed mainly depends on whether the print head can quickly heat up and dissipate heat, thereby reducing the waiting time of the print head due to heating and heat dissipation during the printing process.

What is the future direction of the Sublimation Printer?

Thermal transfer printing technology is a traditional technology that still has great potential for development. Due to the relatively late start of my country, most of the basic technologies of manufacturers come from European, American, Japanese, and other manufacturers, and very few master the core technology. Under the great opportunity of the development of the Internet of Things and Industry 40, technical research in this area should be stepped up. Master independent core technology. The future Sublimation Printer will develop toward high-speed, high-resolution networking. From a technical point of view, the storage capacity of the single-chip microcomputer can be increased to save more types of font libraries, and the motor control algorithm can be optimized to make the motor speed more stable. In short, Thermal transfer printers will be used in a wider range of fields in the future and will achieve greater development breakthroughs.
