PRINTERS FOR SUBLIMATION PRINTING
Printers used for sublimation printing are those with
Piezo electric print heads made by Epson. It works by means of a
tiny crystal in the head that pulsates with a small electrical charge
forcing droplets of ink onto the paper with virtually no heat being
generated. This print head is fitted in all Epson desktop printers
and many large format printers and is the only print head that will
work for sublimation printing.
The thermal heads are found in 'bubble jet' printers
like HP, Canon and Lexmark work by heating up the ink which when
it expands forces a droplet of ink onto the paper. The problem with
this type of print head for sublimation is that the heat affects
the inks as they are forced through the head and the ink will accumulate
inside eventually clogging the print head.
We currently offer the Stylus D88 A4 printer and the Stylus Photo
1290 and R1800 A3 printers.
