Accessoires pour imprimantes à sublimation

Essential sublimation printer accessories include sublimation paper, color profiles or ICC profiles for your printer, cleaning cartridges, a maintenance station, and replacement ink cartridges. These items help maintain print quality and extend printer life.

Sublimation paper is a specially coated transfer paper designed to hold sublimation ink until it is released through heat. The quality of the paper directly affects ink release efficiency, color vibrancy, and the sharpness of your final transfer.

ICC color profiles calibrate your printer's ink output to match the expected color gamut of your sublimation system. Using the correct profile for your printer, ink, and paper combination ensures that printed colors accurately match your design on screen.

Always use sublimation-specific inks matched to your printer brand and model. Sublimation inks are formulated to sublimate at precise temperatures and produce the correct color output. Mixing ink brands can affect color accuracy and may clog print heads.

Print regularly to keep ink flowing through the print heads, use your printer's built-in cleaning cycles, and avoid leaving the printer idle for extended periods. If you expect downtime, run a cleaning cycle before shutting down and keep ink cartridges installed.

A maintenance cartridge (or waste ink tank) collects excess ink from cleaning cycles. Most sublimation printers use these cartridges, and they need to be replaced when full. Ignoring a full maintenance cartridge can cause printer errors and ink overflow inside the machine.

No, regular inkjet paper is not suitable for sublimation. It lacks the special coating needed to hold and release sublimation ink properly, resulting in poor color transfer and wasted ink. Always use paper specifically rated for sublimation printing.

Beyond ink and paper, useful setup accessories include a dedicated sublimation computer or RIP software for color management, a monitor calibration tool, a heat press, and a temperature verification tool to ensure your workflow is producing consistent results.

Ink replacement depends on your print volume and coverage. Most printers display ink level warnings before cartridges run out. Keep spare cartridges on hand to avoid production downtime, especially during high-volume periods.
