The effect of temperature on the ink transfer of sublimation printing technology was investigated. The ink transfer was conducted by the colour density of single solid inks and the ink trapping of overprinted solid inks. The experimental results indicate that the amount of ink transferred from the colour ribbon to the substrate is determined by the thermal characterization of dye materials. The densities of single colour inks as well as the ink trapping coefficients obtain the highest values at the temperature corresponding to the endothermic peaks of the dye materials. This is the optimum operating processing temperature.
