At present, thermal sublimation ink has not been applied to HP printer products, but HP has developed thermal foaming inkjet technology.
Thermal transfer inks are all water-based pigment inks, which can only be used on Epson's desktop inkjet printer at present. Its inkjet technology is cold piezoelectric inkjet. Common brands of printers use integrated nozzle and ink cartridge technology, that is, thermal foaming inkjet technology, which can only use water-based dye ink. When printing, the nozzle heater will be heated to a high temperature of 200 to 300 degrees to spray ink drops, which is not suitable for thermal transfer, otherwise it will be blocked when spraying.
