What is Dye Sublimation Thermal Transfer
| Dye Sublimation uses high heat and solid dyes to
produce photo lab-quality prints. Dye Sublimation printers, such
as the Snaplab use a
roll of transparent film made up of panels of color. Solid dyes in
Yellow, Magenta and Cyan are embedded in the film. The Print Head
heating elements vaporize the inks which adhere to a specially-coated
paper. As the ink cools it becomes a solid on the paper.
Color intensity is controlled by precise variations in temperature.
Dye Sublimation printers lay down color in continuous tones, one
color at a time, instead of dots of ink. Because the color is
absorbed into the paper rather than sitting on the surface, the output
is more photo-realistic, more durable, and less vulnerable to fading
than other ink technologies. The SnapLab Digital Photo-finishing
system creates crisp and vibrant prints with natural, continuous tones.
All Sony media is branded with the "Print by Sony" quality seal.
This means high quality prints, and Sony's UV protected paper is
excellent for archiving digital images. |
