Fading in sublimation printing feels like watching your hard work vanish – super frustrating! But don't worry, most fading issues boil down to a handful of fixable culprits. Grab your favorite drink, and let's troubleshoot this together like crafty friends figuring it out:
The Usual Suspects (and How to Catch Them):
- 🔥 Heat Press Temp is OFF (The #1 Villain!)
- 👕 The Blank Itself is the Issue
Your Action Plan: Find the Fade Fix!
- Start Simple & Obvious: Re-check temp (with IR thermometer!), time, pressure, and paper orientation. Clean your blank. Do this first.
- Paper Check: Is it humid? Is the paper fresh from a sealed pack? Try a new sheet. Consider pre-drying.
- Blank Audit: Are you absolutely sure it's sublimation-ready? Double-check the material/poly coating. Test a different blank from a reputable source.
- Change ONE Thing at a Time: Don't adjust temp, time, AND pressure all at once. Change one variable, test, and note the result. This is key to finding the real culprit!
- Keep a Log: Write down settings (temp/time/pressure), blank type/brand, paper type, and results for every press. This is GOLD for troubleshooting later.
记住:升华褪色几乎总是可以解决的!这通常是一个工艺问题(热量、时间、压力、接触)或材料不匹配(空白/纸张)。要有耐心,系统地进行测试,你很快就会恢复到生动、持久的印刷效果。你可以做到的!现在去压制一些很棒的东西吧。😊
