The difference between hot stamping and heat transfer

1. Hot stamping, commonly known as "hot stamping" refers to the hot stamping of text and patterns of materials such as colored foil on the front or back cover of the hardcover book cover, or embossing various embossed and concave book titles or Pattern. Thermal transfer is a new method of printing patterns on commodities of various materials, and is especially suitable for producing a small number of personalized and customized commodities, and printing patterns containing full-color images or photos.

2. The essence of hot stamping is transfer printing, which is the process of transferring the pattern on the anodized aluminum to the substrate through the action of heat and pressure. Thermal transfer is to print a digital pattern on a special transfer paper with a special transfer ink through a printer, and then use a special transfer machine to accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the product at high temperature and high pressure to complete the product printing.

3. Hot stamping is to heat the hot stamping head, so that the metal or paint on the hot stamping film is laminated to the surface of the workpiece to be decorated or marked. The transfer process transfers the exquisite patterns on the transfer film to the surface of the product through a heat transfer machine (heat and pressure). After forming, the ink layer and the surface of the product are combined into one, which is vivid and beautiful, which greatly improves the grade of the product.

4. The four basic conditions of the hot stamping process: the hot stamping head includes a hot stamping template, a heater, and a pressure transmission mechanism. Thermal transfer is divided into billion and thermal transfer. Thermal transfer technology can also use a variety of different transfer materials to achieve different printing effects, the most important of which are film transfer and sublimation transfer.
