Sublimation method for printing - generates necessary pressure by magnetic fields from permanent magnets

摘要

The method prints material suitable for sublimation printing, the intermediate support with the sublimation dye being pressed against the material at high temp. The pressure is generated by magnetic fields, and the material can be pre-heated. Permanent-magnet material in plate form (10) can be placed on the intermediate support (8) to generate the necessary pressure, and where the material to be printed is non-magnetic (3) ferromagnetic material (1) can be plated underneath it. For continuous printing an endless belt of permanent magnet material can be used, one of its runs bearing against the material to be printed.
