Printing process of Sublimation Hand Fans

1. Design Creation

• Digital Artwork: The process begins with creating a digital design using graphic design software. This design can include images, logos, and custom graphics.

2. Printing on Transfer Paper

• Sublimation Ink: The created design is printed onto a special sublimation transfer paper using a sublimation printer. The printer uses dye-based inks that turn into gas when heated.
• Color Management: Proper color profiles are used to ensure the printed colors match the intended design.

3. Heat Transfer

• Preparing the Fan: The silk fabric of the fan is positioned under the printed transfer paper. It’s important to ensure that the fabric is clean and free of wrinkles for optimal results.
• Heat Press Machine: A heat press is used to apply heat and pressure to the transfer paper and fabric. The typical temperature ranges from 350°F to 400°F (about 177°C to 204°C), and the process usually lasts around 30 to 60 seconds.
• Sublimation: As the heat is applied, the dye sublimates, turning from solid to gas and penetrating the fibers of the fabric. This creates a permanent bond.

4. Cooling and Finishing

• Cooling: After the heat press, the fan is allowed to cool, ensuring the dye sets properly.
• Trimming and Assembly: Once cooled, the fan may be trimmed to size and assembled. This includes attaching the handle and any additional features.

5. Quality Control

• Inspection: Each fan is inspected for quality. This includes checking for color accuracy, print quality, and overall appearance.
• Final Packaging: Approved fans are then packaged for sale or distribution.
