Which Sublimation Paper Is Best For Me?
Why do Ink Experts offer different sublimation papers?
Sadly, there is not a single sublimation paper that is perfect for every sublimation print job.
There are hundreds of different sublimation papers on the market each offering their own advantages and disadvantages.
Depending on the substrate (sublimation blank) being printed on to the sublimation paper being used can have a big effect.
Hard surface substrates such as ceramic or metal require a slower ink release to reduce the risk of over saturating the blank.
Over saturating can cause a blurred effect on the finished product.
On the other hand, soft surface substrates such as fabrics, air fresheners, t-shirts, etc, require more ink to be transferred.
This is to create a bright and vibrant transfer on porous materials that absorb a lot of ink..
High release sublimation papers are typically marketed for this purpose, and this purpose alone.
With this in mind, here at Ink Experts we offer a variety of sublimation papers within our range.
This ensures we have a paper to work with all substrates and to fit all budgets.
Ink Experts 'Style' Sublimation Paper
‘Style’ Sublimation Paper
Our staple sublimation paper.
Recent revisions to Style have improved the coating used on 120gsm paper stock to ensure a crisp, even transfer with dark blacks and vivid colours.
Style paper has been in our range from the very beginning and is our most popular paper.
It is ideal for hard surface substrates such as metal, ceramic, acrylic and glass.
Transfers are bright, vibrant and crisp.
Ink Experts 'Fabric HR' Sublimation Paper
‘Fabric HR’ Sublimation Paper
Our first high release sublimation paper.
As the name suggests, this is intended for use on soft surface substrates and fabrics.
Fabric offers unrivalled ink release (over 95% release) resulting in superb transfer quality on polyester based / sublimation ready fabrics, including t-shirts, cushion covers, and more.
Ink Experts 'Versa' Sublimation Paper
‘Versa’ Sublimation Paper
Our versatile, all-purpose sublimation paper.
Versa features a hybrid coating which is both high release and quick drying, making it suitable for both hard and soft surface substrates.
Versa uses a medium weight 115gsm paper stock making it both flexible as well as offering superb lay-flat / anti curl properties.
The mixed ink release makes it suitable for fabrics and soft surface substrates, whilst the quick dry coating means it can also be used on hard surface substrates such as ceramic, metal and glass.
Ideal for those who do a lot of bulk printing and want to save time switching papers for each job.
Ink Experts 'PLATINUM' Sublimation Paper
‘Platinum Sublimation Paper
The “Holy Grail” of sublimation paper.
It’s Versa on steroids. PLATINUM paper keeps the same high quality standards as dedicated Style and Fabric HR paper, but works on both hard and soft substrates alike.
It releases large amounts of ink into textiles to ensure vivid colours, and enough ink on hard substrates to give crisp detail without oversaturation.
For the absolute best results on any substrate use our PLATINUM brand paper.
