The Dollfus & Muller aramid felt is used on a heat transfer printing calender. Synthetic fabrics are usually printed on this calender using high temperatures (up to 230°C / 450°F).
The pre-printed paper carries the dyestuffs, which are then sublimated on the fabric using high temperature. The purpose of the sublimation felt is to press the fabric against the printed paper, both against the heated drum. The contact between the fabric and the printed paper needs to be long enough, to ensure the transfer of the dyestuffs to the fabric. Heat transfer printing is an economical way to print synthetic fabrics.
These machines can also be used for the following processes :
- Laminating
- Calendering
- Placard transfer printing (banners).
For special applications, a silicone coating can be applied. Dollfus & Muller aramid felts are ideal for a high regularity transfer printing.
