METHOD AND AN ASSEMBLY FOR SUBLIMATION TRANSFER PRINTING

摘要

The invention provides a method for sublimation transfer printing, and a printing assembly comprising: •a feed mechanism (2) by which a web of carrier (1) is fed in a machine direction to a printer (4); •the printer (4) comprising: o a carrier transport unit (3), controllably movable along a machine direction; o digital printing stations (5) for the deposition of sublimation ink or inks (6) onto the carrier (1); •a feed mechanism (8) for the substrate material (7) to be printed; •a heat press (9) for transferring the sublimation ink or inks (6) onto the substrate material (7); and •an outlet (10) for the substrate material (7) and used carrier (1), wherein the printing stations (5) extend transversally to the machine direction and cover the width of carrier (1).
